The manufacturer of the computer puts all those craplets in there just in case you may find it useful, but commercial reasons raise above this belief. Most of the software coming with a new computer is installed for commercial reasons and mostly consists in trialware. I searched high and low but all my endeavors remained unsuccessful and all I could do was to proceed to manually and carefully uninstall all the bloatware available on new computers courtesy of the manufacturer. Some stores are charging $70 to do this on new computers.For months I've been looking for a solution to automatically remove pre-installed software on a computer. It’s important to get rid of this junk, and Decrapifier does the deed. They’re jammed with pre-installed advertising software such as shills for games or trial versions. With new computers, Decrapifier is my first step. The only ones I save are from reputable companies such as Microsoft. It gives you the choice to delete or save. It remembers the signatures of the top programs its users delete. How does it know this stuff is crap? Decrapifier is smart. I thought my system was clean, but it had been loading four unseen junk programs with each startup plus a toolbar. Next, it scans your drive looking for, well, crap. You can always go back to a working system via Windows Restore. I created a shortcut for it to launch from my desktop.įirst thing you see is it can create a restore point in case something goes wrong.

You could run it on a flash drive or create a folder for it on your hard drive.

It’s a self-contained program that launches itself each time and does not add anything anywhere. I like that it does not go through the usual Windows installation. Decrapifier is a brief, 1.4-megabyte download.
