Hello everyone,

I recently purchased a new Win7 laptop (my first new computer in 6 years) and I would like some help cleaning out the bloatware games and such that came pre-loaded with it. If anyone can help out, I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks,
Pizzado

Thanks for the quick reply. I have run the program and uploaded the file.

I checked the list of installed programs, but I can keep most of them as long as they do not run from startup.
