Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
PC Decrapifier 2.0 released
It's always been good at removing the bloat from factory Windows installs. In the past, however, it's taken a little while for programs to go from forum suggestions to being included in Decrapifier. That's what version 2.0 is all about.
With an improved scripting engine, updates to Decrapifier should be available much more often (read more about it in Jason's post on the Decrapifier site).
Currently Decrapifier can remove common bloatware like McAffee, Norton, and Office 2007 trials, several Roxio, Sonic, and Corel apps, and even AOL software. If you're the "friend that knows about computers," be sure to keep Decrapifier on your flash drive for quick, automated removal tasks.

Speaking of keeping things "on your usb drive" - do you recommend a specific one? (usb drive that is) Is there a consensus best of breed for this type of work, or are they all basically the same and I should just buy whatever?

I'd stick with a namebrand...OCZ, Patriot, Kingston...I want to know a company is going to stand behind their warranty.
My Patriot Xporter XT was blazing fast...And then I lost the damn thing. :-P

Looks pretty spiffy, but could you include a download link? Thanks!

Any reason to use this over CCleaner(the real crap cleaner)?
Lee MathewsSep 16th 2008 9:21AM
Uhm...Their functionality is totally different. If you use CCleaner, you know it's not really made for automated program removal.
That's what Decrapifier is all about.

Cool, I must have been thinking of some other CCleaner clone.

You guys are miracle workers. This is exactly the type of program that I need in my line of work!
