Question

ok so i got a new computer today does anyone know how to delete all the free trial crap that comes with it

Answer 1

it usually always depends. what do u have? most programs have an uninstall file... but by uninstalling it, sometimes may affect the configuration of the system...
the best way, is to do a clean install. reinstall the OS and then just put the programs that you want on it...

Answer 2

Heh, obligatory pointer to install Linux.

Answer 3

PC Decrapifier is a pretty popular tool for removing all that bloatware nonsense.

Answer 4

If it's Windows, which I guess it must be if it's full of crapware, you often get a OS restore disk that doesn't have all the 'free' crap on it. If that's the case, you can just reinstall your OS.

Answer 5

There's always this

http://www.ubuntu.com/

That'll remove every bit of crapware from your new PC, including Windows.

Sorry, I didn't read your post properly before I made mine ~ you'd pretty much said the same thing already.

Answer 6

Hey Carl,
no problem...
i see there is version 11.04 'Natty Narwhal' out. I still have maverick10.10 Virtual Machine, upgraded from 8.04, not that long ago. I don't know what is the point of keeping up with the latest though. Plus it's just more ware and tare on the hard drive...

Answer 7

ware and tare, lol... is that right? share, there, stare... i forgot how to spell w--- out. Oh! tear, wear, that's it!

That's funny, tear is crying too, a completely different word and meaning... English is a trip... lol

Answer 8

I see they have implemented the delete feature, umm...

Answer 9

Use Gnu/Linux for healthy life.Ubuntu,fedora are good for Desktop.

Answer 10

do NOT waste your time uninstalling it... simply get yourself an OS Installation disk... Delete current partitions, re-create new partition, format, AND INSTALL the OS!!!!! an operating system installation will NOT have any of that crappy trail software on it!!!
