Bloatware Remover

The PC Decrapifier – Bloatware Remover

Is your computer running slowly? Today, even brand new PCs often come with a lot of pre-installed software, (bloatware), that can cause that new machine to slow to a crawl. Not to mention all of the annoying pop-ups! Others may have a computer that’s a couple years old and and over time we try a bunch of programs and forget to properly remove them all.

The PC Decrapifier is here to help! It’s a free tool for you to use that helps remove programs, unnecessary start-up items and icons that can slow down a computer. It takes you step by step, giving you recommendations on what to remove, many of which can be removed unattended. You can pick up the free portable version here → PC Decrapifier. (There is no installer/uninstaller – it’s all self-contained).

 

Running the Program

You will be guided through the process with a “wizard” style series of questions. You will have the choice to pick and choose what you want to remove. It will not begin removing anything without prompting you first!

Click the images below to see a screen shot of various parts of the process.

Restore Point

Next, you can create a restore point. This can be useful to recover from an unexpected error. Using a restore point won’t bring back any programs that where accidentally removed, but useful for driver problems.
