The PC De-Crapifier

Download the PC De-Crapifier

One of the biggest annoyances in buying a PC from Dell, HP, eMachines, Sony (and most of the companies I forgot to list) is all the trialware junk they install on a new system. Your computer manufacturer is getting paid on both sides. You pay for the computer, all these companies who want you to use their software pay to be part of the shipped version of Windows. Getting rid of it all takes time and is almost impossible in some cases. I typically wipe the drive on a new machine instead of dealing with this issue, but that's a hassle too. I know of one case where HP installed an anti-spyware product without an uninstall option. Enter The PC De-Crapifier. It doesn't get every trialware product installed on OEM machines, but it gets a bunch of them. [Windows XP $0.00]
