A neat way to clean up your computer

As time goes on, whether they’re outdated heaps we still depend upon or a recently
obtained powerhouse filled with cutting edge technology, our
computers contain unnecessary software – crap, essentially – that
would be best sent to the trash heap. Our old computers collect outdated
software through their years of use, while brand new systems are often
filled with trial software that most people end up ignoring upon use.

Aiding
in this effort is a helpful utility that quickly cleans up unnecessary junk from your computer, freeing you from the task of
uninstalling them individually.

Called PC Decrapifier, this program requires no installation, commencing with its task once you run the executable.

After you’ve made it past the end user part, PC Decrapifier will inform you of its inability to differentiate between trial software and the
full
version of the same program. You should be mindful of what you’re
choosing, which will save you the headache that’ll surely arise when
you discover that you’ve removed an application that you use often.

You’re then asked to tell the program if the computer you’re “decrapifying” is old or just bought.

It
then gives you the chance to make a restore point, which will take your
computer to a previously saved point should the removal of some programs bring about the occurrence of certain glitches . Doing this is
critical, as the removal of any program brings with it the removal of
ancillary files – drivers, libraries, etc. – that may be used by other
applications. However, you should know that the creation of a restore
point will guarantee the recovery of any programs you remove.

After you’ve done that, the clean-up starts.

Though there’s an off-chance the program will not detect any programs that
need to be cleaned away, which can happen on computers owned by people who
are more pro-active in monitoring what’s installed, it does provide you
an opportunity to select all of the programs you’d like to dispose of.

Once you’ve selected the programs, PC Decrapifier begins with its job,
eliminating all of the programs you’ve checked as needless. Doing
this frees up your hard drive and will remove programs that impair your
system’s performance with unnecessary things running in the
background.

For any of you who would like to get a head start on spring cleaning, PC Decrapifier is certainly up to the task.
