Good question and one that few will be able to answer for you. In other words, it's really up to you as to what constitutes a worthless piece of software. CCleaner & Decraptifier were both designed with 'cleaning up new systems' in mind, but YOU have to determine what items you wish to remove. Try each feature that you're not sure about and see what it does for you. If you would prefer to live without it, add it to the list. If you're still not sure what it does, ask about it specifically and we'll see if we can help you figure it out. On the other hand, I would automatically add any and all "trial" versions to the list and rpelace them with whatever you normally use (especially security apps).
