Download Of The Day: Banish crapware with The PC Decrapifier (Windows)

Windows only: The PC Decrapifier removes crapware--the system-hogging, usually unwanted programs vendors stuff onto new PCs.

You know the drill: You fire up your new machine, only to find the desktop littered with icons and a deluge of pop-ups to install this, register that and update the other. The PC Decrapifier, which is a simple executable that doesn't even require installation, can detect upwards of 50 common programs and optionally remove any of them. Of course, once they're gone, they're gone (unless you have a system-restore CD that includes the shovelware), so be selective about what you delete.

I don't like The PC Decrapifier--I lurve it. It's simple, effective and free. And it's designed for Windows XP and Vista systems; the program very likely won't work with older PCs, according to the developer. Got a crapware sob-story to share? You know where: the comments! —Rick Broida
