As many folks know, you buy a laptop or any computer nowadays from companies like Dell or HP it comes with all manner of bloat. Examples include demos of software, trial software all manner of junk that most consider annoying and uninstall. When in this situation, first thing I do is format the sucker clean and start a new, that way I know its going to be clean.
It seems now that at least one of the companies (Mcafee) responsible for the bloat is at least putting out a tool that in theory removes it. I’ve not given it a try and hopefully it does what it says it does. There are also 3rd party apps that promise to do the same. I’m expecting a new laptop in the next week or so, so maybe I’ll get the chance to give them a shot.
