If you purchase a new computer from nearly any retailer these days, chances are you've got a whole bunch of crappy, useless software and free trials lurking around your hard drive, eating up space and popping up annoying install messages.
The aptly named Decrapifier, eliminates that unwanted junk in one pass. Just download the program, unzip and run the application. Decrapifier looks for common "junkware" applications like free internet service apps, search "assistants," demoware and more.
Exercise the usual cautions when selecting what to delete since once it's gone, it's gone.
Yes, you could use Windows Explorer uninstall dialogue to delete all this stuff by hand, but Decrapifier makes it much easier.
The PC Decrapifier is free for personal use.
As you can see in the screenshot below, if you happen to be running a simple retail copy of Vista, Decrapifier is largely unnecessary -- for everyone else, get rid of that junk.
