[دبندينغ ون] البائعة, وال [بك/لبتوب] خاصّة أنّ أنت اشتريت, هناك يمكن كنت [ا] حصة of stuff listed, or not too much. In my case, there was a lot - and almost 70% of it was either unwanted or flat out garbage. The red arrows in the image below indicate just a portion of the software I had to uninstall.

One of the benefits of removing this unwanted software is that a lot of it automatically runs each time your PC starts, and continues to run in the background - using up valuable system resources that could be put to much better use. As indicated by the screenshot below, my new laptop had a lot of software from the vendor that provided me with no benefits whatsoever, and used up memory and CPU cycles to boot.

So one by one, go through the list of software in the Uninstall or change a program list and uninstall what you don’t need. If you’re unsure of something, leave it for the time being until you can identify exactly what the program is, and then decide if you want to keep it.

Again, depending on which brand of PC/laptop you purchase, you may be surprised to see that Microsoft Office has been included on your new computer. Before you get too excited, run it (open Word or PowerPoint etc). Likely you’ll get a pop-up message telling you that this version of Office can only be used 25 times before you have to buy it. If you’re “lucky” it will be a time limited version, and you can use it for 60 or 90 days before you have to purchase it.

The same may hold true with any security software (in my case, the Norton Internet Security package). It came pre-installed on my laptop, but it was actually just a 60 day demo. Because there are much better (and free) alternatives to Microsoft Office and Norton Internet Security, I uninstalled them both (and I’ll outline what I replaced them with later in this article).

Some hardware vendors also like to “brand” software by putting their logo on it. In my case, Internet Explorer came with a branded version of the Windows Live Toolbar.

You can disable this toolbar by right-clicking on the main Internet Explorer bar, and remove the check from Microsoft Live Search Toolbar.

But if you’re sure you’re never going to use that toolbar (as I was), it can be uninstalled via the Uninstall or change a program list.

Once you’ve finished uninstalling software from the Uninstall or change a program list, click the Start orb, select Computer from the menu, and then double-click your C: drive. Open the Program Files folder. In here, you may find that even though you uninstalled a program, its folder (and very often some files) still remain. Delete any folders that belonged to software that you uninstalled. In my case (as seen in the images below) the folder Online Services remained, even though I had uninstalled every program that was associated with that folder.

The final step in your cleanup process is to remove items from the Desktop (usually shortcuts to Web pages) and the Start menu. To remove something from the Start menu, right-click on that item and select Delete from the pop-up menu.

Repeat the above step until your list is trimmed down to the programs that you actually have installed, and the shortcuts you actually want to keep.

Now you’re done - all that useless software is gone!

Install needed software

As I mentioned earlier, there are some great free alternatives to the “trial” software that may have been included on your PC. Instead of using Microsoft Office, download and install OpenOffice.org. OpenOffice.org is a free, open source office suite that includes programs for word processing, creating spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, databases and more. And the best part is that if someone creates a file with one of the Microsoft Office programs, you’re almost guaranteed to be able to not only open and view it, but edit it, save it and send it back to them - and they’ll have no idea you weren’t using MS Office.

Instead of using the Norton Internet Security Suite, I strongly recommend using free version of AVG anti-virus. Since Windows Vista provides a more than adequate firewall, you certainly don’t need to purchase one from a 3rd party. To make sure the Windows Vista firewall is turned on, open the Control Panel, select Security and click the Turn Windows Firewall on or off - and make sure it’s turned on.

If your PC included DVD-playing software and you uninstalled it (as I did) - replace it with the much better VLC video player. Not only will VLC play your DVDs, but it supports a wide range of other video files and formats.

If your PC included CD or DVD burning (recording) software, and you uninstalled it (again, as I did) - replace it with CDBurnerXP is a free application that lets you burn CDs and DVDs - even Blu-Ray and HD-DVDs if your PC has a HD-DVD or Blu-Ray burner.
