[http://pcdecrapifier.com/ PC Decrapifier] is a great tool which will help detect and remove many of the programs described above. It will scan both new and used computers for any bloatware and unnecessary programs and then run the uninstallers for these programs. This isn't foolproof; however, so manually scanning through the installed programs list is still recommended. Remove any programs that are no longer needed on the system; however, be careful of uninstalling unknown programs because they might be important. For any unknown programs, Google the names and read about them before uninstalling. | [http://pcdecrapifier.com/ PC Decrapifier] is a great tool which will help detect and remove many of the programs described above.
