One of the most common calls I get is when someone gets a new DELL computer and they want me to come in and clean off a lot of the “junk” that comes pre-installed (and by the way, it is not just DELL who does this, but all major computer companies, such as IBM, HP and Compaq).

Well, it now looks like I am out of a job. Someone else, so fed up with the crap that gets pre-installed has written a program to do an automatic clean up of a DELL system.

The software is called “The PC De-Crapifier” and the web site is http://www.yorkspace.com/pc-de-crapifier/.

NOTE: I am only providing you with the information, I do not in any way indorse this product as I have not tested it (since I don’t have a new DELL).

    Once you have Norton, McAfee, AOL etc. removed, don’t forget to install:

  • AVG Anti-Virus - AntiVirus
  • Mozilla FireFox - Web Browser
  • Picasa - Photo Manager (no need to install software that comes with your digital camera)
  • OpenOffice - Office Software to replace Microsoft Office and/or WordPerfect
  • TempCleaner - My FREE software for cleaning up the Windows Temp folder

Just because all this software is FREE, doesn’t mean its junk. Some of the best software on the web is FREE.
