You just brought home your new Windows 8 computer — and it’s loaded with bloatware, trialware, garbageware and all kinds of stuff you don’t want. And we’re betting you either have McAfee or Norton installed and consuming your precious resources on that brand new computer of yours. Funny thing, Windows 8 already comes with anti-virus and anti-spyware –a it’s a pretty good one too; it’s called Windows Defender, \u00a0known to Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 users as Microsoft Security Essentials. It’s free, Norton and McAfee will give you a 90-day (or whatever) free trial, at the end of which, you’ll pay a price — and once you do, you’ll pay a price every year, until you finally remove whichever your computer manufacturer \u00a0stuck you with.<\/p>\n
We recommend you use PC Decrapifier to remove the crud and junk that most new computers come pre-burdened. PC Decrapifier is \u00a0free program that scans your computer and shows you a list of the junkware installed and allows you to pick and choose what you want to remove — hopefully all of it.<\/p>\n
