PC Decrapifier: Software of the Month
With new laptops and desktops arriving during the holiday gift-giving bash, a
timely program to note is the unfortunately but aptly named PC Decrapifier. For
those who can rise above its title, this highly regarded little application can
shave a substantial amount of set-up time for most new computers running
Windows.
As the price of computers has plummeted, the weight of the fittingly named
'bloatware' has significantly increased. With add-on toolbars from corporations
that are household words and from obscure and insidious companies, commercial
anti-virus programs almost as irritating as a virus themselves and often as
hard to
get rid of, along with endless trialware come-ons, the count of unwanted,
preinstalled programs chugging in on new computers has provoked consumer
annoyance
to the eye-rolling level.
Designed to simplify and speed up the process of removing detritus from new
computers, the PC Decrapifier does an impressive job. As a self-contained
utility
run from its executable file, with no installation required, this snappy little
app
can zero in on more than four dozen of the most frequently bundled bloatware
programs and quickly remove them.
Comforting directions guide the user to run the app after creating restore disks
and a restore point, while specific program check boxes must be ticked before
the
PC Decrapifier can roll into action. Although no computer application is
completely
foolproof, this one guides even the skittish computer user to a satisfactory
result.
Note: the download link is available from the left sidebar menu, which connects
to
a large blue graphic, page-centered with the version number, 2.2.8, noted above
it
and subsequently to the final download location at MajorGeeks.
