I never used it before now... I just tried this on my Win 8.1 machine and it seemed to function well. I removed one startup entry, that could be manually started if needed but removed nothing else.
With any of these kinds of programs, care must be taken when removing pre-installed programs as you may cause your computer not to function as it used to. CCleaner has the same capabilities, which I use, I see no need for a redundant program.

Thanks Wingman! :thumbleft: Do you have any "safe" recommendation(s) for a method or program to use to get rid of the manufacture "bloat" that comes with a new computer (i.e. laptop or desktop) For example, with Windows 7, Windows Live Essentials can come "pre-loaded" and not everyone would like to use that program. There are also so many other bundle items (AOL, Norton, Bing, etc,) that come pre-installed on a computer and an average computer buyer at a retail store would not know the best practice to get rid of the "stuff" as not all of it is listed in Add/Remove Programs? (Do you smell some essence of shopping coming from me! Can't build everything!)

PC Decrapifier has been around for years and was designed to identify junk/crap software typically shipped with new computers and provide recommendations on what should be removed. For other programs you don't recognize or know whether they are worthwhile to keep or be removed, you can use Should I Remove It?. * Five apps for crapware cleanup
