When you buy a PC from a big company, odds are other big companies have paid them to load up a bunch of ...well... crap: AOL, Earthlink or other Internet service provider software, the "Dell Search Assistant", various substandard anti-virus packages, music players, and other junk. The PC Decrapifier scans your system and lets you decide whether to keep it or not. Getting rid of the junk will speed up your system and clear out a huge swath of disk space. Free for personal use (small fee for corporate settings -- though the PC manufacturers don't usually insult big corporate clients with such crap, just regular people.)
