I hate the applications that have been pre-installed on my computer.

I recently bought a new PC.  That means even before I start installing the applications I really need, there are a boatload of trial applications installed.  Most are a result of marketing agreements between the various software publishers and the manufacturer of your new computer. Many give you something like a 60-day free trial, on the 60th day the nagging begins to buy a paid license.

To me, the most notorious offender is Symantec’s Norton Security Suite, which does a fine job for the 60-day trial period, but is relatively expensive (especially when AVG is such a good free alternative) and becomes very persistent and annoying in its nagging.

PC-Decrapifier is a free utility that gives you a chance to delete all the applications on your Windows PC that you didn’t ask for, and are just going to, at best, take up disk space and, at worst, run in the background and make your computer operate slower.

If you’re running PC-Decrapifier on a computer that you’ve already installed applications, you’re given the opportunity to take a snapshot which you can return to after cleaning, if the results are not to your liking.
