And you just brought your new Windows 8 computer home and you find, not to your surprise, that \u00a0it&#8217;s loaded with bloatware, trialware, garbageware and all kinds of stuff you don&#8217;t want.<\/p>\n<p>And if it&#8217;s a brand new Windows 8 computer, we&#8217;ll betcha that you either have McAfee or Norton installed and it&#8217;s consuming your precious resources on that brand new computer of yours. Funny thing though, Windows 8 already comes with an anti-virus \/anti-spyware &#8211;a it&#8217;s a pretty good one too; it&#8217;s called Windows Defender, \u00a0known to all you Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 users as Microsoft Security Essentials. It&#8217;s free. No so with Norton and McAfee. Sure they will generously give you a 90-day (or whatever) free trial, at the end of which, you&#8217;ll pay the piper &#8212; and once you do, you&#8217;ll pay the piper every year, until you finally remove Norton or McAfee from your computer. Since Windows 8 already has security software installed, \u00a0you can bet the only reason McAfee or Norton was installed is so your computer manufacturer can make a few extra bucks from the kickbacks paid to them by Norton or McAfee. Aw shucks, it&#8217;s really never about you is it? It&#8217;s always about the money!<\/p>\n<p>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 &#8212; hopefully all of it.<\/p>\n<p>So if you have a new computer, one of the first things you should download is PC Decrapifier.\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/pcdecrapifier.com\/home\" target=\"_blank\">You can read more about it here<\/a>.<\/strong>\u00a0But be careful, the download buttons don&#8217;t download PC Decrapifier.\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/dl.pcdecrapifier.com\/pc-decrapifier-2.3.1.exe\" target=\"_blank\">So use this link to download the program<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div>\n<dl id=\"attachment_5388\">\n<dt><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"PCDecrapifier\" src=\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/decrap.png\" width=\"599\" height=\"433\" \/><\/dt>\n<dd>PCDecrapifier<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<p>And if you don&#8217;t have a new computer, you can still wipe out any junk programs on your computer using PCDecrapifier.
