一位消费者购买了一台全新的、闪亮的Windows 11/10电脑，所有人都希望它运行得又快又流畅，而他每次启动时看到的却是大量的弹出窗口和提醒，令他恼火不已！
大多数用户，通常接受它们作为Windows的一部分，诅咒操作系统是如此令人讨厌和缓慢......充满了英国媒体报道！购买这种计算机的新(New)用户，每次打开它时通常都会被大量的弹出窗口所淹没。用户也不期望看到这么多工具栏或按钮或图标。当他们发现他们的新Windows 机器运行缓慢、死机或(Windows machine running slow, freezing or crashing)经常崩溃时，他们非常期待他们的体验是愉快的，但口中却留下了不好的味道。
This is not the pure Windows that you get in OEM machines, but instead what I prefer to call as its demonized version!
什么是垃圾软件
其原因，正如许多人已经知道的那样，是随Windows OEM机器一起抵达的不速之客。(uninvited guests)这些被称为Crapware或Craplets或Junkware或Demonware！Crapware 只不过(Crapware)是与您的Windows安装捆绑在一起的不需要的软件。在大多数情况下，它们是试用软件。
此类软件的发行商向硬件公司付费以将它们推到新机器上，希望购买者在试用期结束后在某个时候决定购买它们。(Publishers of such software, pay the hardware companies to push them onto new machines, in the hope that the purchaser will at some point decide to buy them once the trial period is over.)统计数据显示，此类试用件的转化率约为 30%！
制造商(The manufacturers)也不想拒绝这笔免费资金。Au contraire硬件制造商声称这有助于他们降低成本！事实上，我记得几年前索尼(Sony )实际上决定向客户收取“不安装”或删除 Bloatware的费用！但他们后来不得不在公众的强烈抗议下退缩。
你看不到这一切都发生在Mac机器上，是吗！？Mac硬件和软件很好地相互集成并发货。但是对于Windows机器，微软(Microsoft)将许可证出售给制造商，制造商将其与试用软件一起加载到机器上。软件发行商向计算机制造商提供资金，但(Money)Windows最终用户因性能不佳而付出的代价(cost paid for by)！
这些 craplets 会扰乱您的机器，占用资源，减慢您的启动时间，并使其运行缓慢。最糟糕的是，几乎所有人都出于某种奇怪的原因想要从Windows开始，而且您大多数时候都可以看到他们的图标停留在通知区域中。
此外，在大多数情况下，由于用户没有通过他们的 PC 获得有效的Windows CD，因此他无法进行全新安装。执行恢复到出厂映像的选项，只需将系统恢复到糟糕的状态(crapified state)。
这些程序本身还不错，包括已知和有用的产品，如Norton、McAfee、Corel、Roxio、AOL或其他此类Internet 服务(Internet Service)提供商、Quick book Financial Center、Napster、Memeo Auto Backup、Picasa 2、Wild Tangent Games、Symantec LiveUpdate . 即使是精简的Microsoft Office试用版也捆绑到新机器上！这些是领先品牌，广泛用于各种用途。
删除垃圾软件
最好的办法是在您的 PC 上安装全新的Windows 。只有这样，您才能体验到这个操作系统真正的速度和美感。但如果这是不可能的，那么当您购买一台预装OEM Windows 8的新电脑时，您可能想做的第一件事| 7、是驱除它所有的垃圾。测试还表明，卸载此类 craplets 可以将您的计算机性能提高 20-40% 以上。
如果您知道要看什么，那么任务很简单。从您的通知区域或系统托盘，您将了解程序正在启动。或键入Msconfig，按 Enter(Enter)，然后单击“启动(Startup)”选项卡。你可以在这里了解初创公司。Windows 10 用户可以打开任务管理器(Task Manager)并选择Starups选项卡。
浏览到您的C:\Program Files和/或 C:\Program Files (x86)文件夹/s 查看已安装的软件。通过控制面板(Control Panel)确定您要删除的内容并一个接一个地卸载它们。
如果您不确定要卸载哪些程序，我建议您下载并使用一些免费的 Crapware 删除软件(free Crapware Removal Software)，例如 PC DeCrapier 或这些Toolbar(Toolbar Removers) Removers 。这些免费软件将帮助您从 Windows PC 中删除垃圾软件！如果您安装了防病毒软件，它可能会抱怨此类程序，因为它们可能是用脚本语言编写的。可以安全地忽略这些警告。它将识别出它认为是垃圾软件的东西。然后，您可以选择要删除的内容。它不会在不先提示您的情况下开始删除任何内容。
完成此操作后，我建议您使用像CCleaner这样的(CCleaner)免费注册表清理器(free Registry Cleaner)来清除Windows安装中残留的注册表项，因为大多数卸载都没有完成。
虽然 PC 可能无法完全清除这些垃圾软件，但希望它能运行得更好。请记住遵循这些提示，了解如何让 Windows 运行得更快(make Windows run faster)，以及如何在未来的 Windows PC 上避免 Crapware和 Bloatware。(While the PC may not get fully exorcized of the crapware, hopefully, it will run better. And remember to follow these tips on how to make Windows run faster and how to avoid Crapware & Bloatware on your Windows PC in the future.)
微软(Microsoft)需要注意这一点并采取行动。我知道微软(Microsoft)已经意识到这一点，并且他们之前也说过他们对此无能为力，但他们必须意识到，最终，是微软(Microsoft)自己得到了……错误……蛋糕。微软(Microsoft)在Microsoft Store中提供无垃圾软件的签名 PC ，但这还不够，因为它们的覆盖面非常有限。微软(Microsoft)使用自己的硬件和销售Surface是朝着正确方向迈出的又一大步。
举办一场时髦的广告宣传活动来颂扬Windows的速度和安全性并在其上花费数百万美元，这是一个非常好的主意，但是当消费者发现他的新装满垃圾软件的Windows机器一直死机时，这一切都化为乌有。也许微软(Microsoft)会考虑将这笔钱的一部分转给制造商，因为OEM(OEMs)似乎不愿意放弃这笔零钱。这将是钱花得值！

Remove Crapware from your new Windows OEM PC before using it
A consumer buys a new-n-shiny Windows 11/10 сomputer, all expecting it to be running fast-n-smooth, аnd what he sees instead every time he boots, are plenty of pop-ups and reminders, irritating him no end!
Most users, usually accept them as a part of Windows, cursing the operating system for being so darn’ irritating and slow…filled with bloatware! New users who buy such a computer, are usually inundated with plenty of pop-up’s every time they switch it on. The user also does not expect to see so many toolbars or buttons or icons. Quite expecting their experience to be a pleasant one, they are left with a bad taste in the mouth, when they find their new Windows machine running slow, freezing or crashing frequently.
This is not the pure Windows that you get in OEM machines, but instead what I prefer to call as its demonized version!
What is Crapware
The reason for this, as many already know are the uninvited guests who arrive along with Windows OEM machines. These are called as Crapware or Craplets or Junkware or Demonware! Crapware is nothing but unwanted software that arrives bundled along with your Windows installation. In most cases they are trialware.
Publishers of such software, pay the hardware companies to push them onto new machines, in the hope that the purchaser will at some point decide to buy them once the trial period is over. And statistics have shown that conversions from such trial-ware are around 30%!
The manufacturers too don’t want to turn away this free money. Au contraire hardware manufacturers claim that this helps them keep the costs lower! In fact, I remember that a few years back Sony had actually decided to charge money from the customers for ‘Not installing’ or for Removing Bloatware! But they later had to backtrack in the face of a huge public outcry.
You don’t see all this happening on a Mac machine, do you!? The Mac hardware and the software are well integrated with each other and shipped. But in the case of Windows machines, Microsoft sells the licenses to the manufacturers, who loaded it on the machines along with the trialware. Money is offered to the computer manufacturers by the software publishers, but the cost paid for by the Windows end-user in terms of bad performance!
These craplets can bedevil your machine, hog resources, and slow down your start-up time, as well as make it run slow. And the worst part is that almost all of them for some strange reason want to start with Windows, and you can at most times see their icons resting in the notification area.
Moreover, in most cases, since the user does not get a valid Windows CD with their PC he is unable to do a fresh install. Exercising the option to restore back to the factory image, simply restores the system back to the crapified state.
These programs are not bad in themselves and include known and useful products like Norton, McAfee, Corel, Roxio, AOL or other such Internet Service providers, Quick books Financial Center, Napster, Memeo Auto Backup, Picasa 2, Wild Tangent Games, Symantec LiveUpdate. Even stripped down trial versions of Microsoft Office are bundled onto a new machine! These are leading brands and widely used for various purposes.
Remove Crapware
The best thing to do would be to go in for a fresh virgin install of Windows on your PC. Only then will you experience the real speed and beauty of this operating system. But if this is not possible, then the first thing you might want to do when you buy a new computer, pre-loaded with OEM Windows 8 | 7, is to exorcise it of all the crapware. Tests have also shown that uninstalling such craplets can improve your computer performance by over 20-40%.
If you know what to look at, the task is simple. From your notification area or system tray, you will get an idea of programs starting up. Or type Msconfig, hit Enter, and click on the Startup tab. You can get an idea about the startups here. Windows 10 users can open Task Manager and select the Starups tab.
Browse to your C:\Program Files and/or the C:\Program Files (x86) folder/s see the software which has been installed. Identify the ones you want to remove and uninstall them one after the other through the Control Panel.
If you are unsure of which programs to uninstall, I suggest you download and use some free Crapware Removal Software like PC DeCrapier or these Toolbar Removers. These freeware will help remove crapware from your Windows PC! If you have antivirus software installed, it may complain about such programs because they may be written in a scripting language. These warnings can be safely ignored. It will identify what it thinks are crapware. You may then pick and choose what you want to remove. It will not begin removing anything without prompting you first.
Having done this, I recommend that you use a good free Registry Cleaner like CCleaner to clear your Windows installation of residual registry entries as most uninstalls are not complete.
While the PC may not get fully exorcized of the crapware, hopefully, it will run better. And remember to follow these tips on how to make Windows run faster and how to avoid Crapware & Bloatware on your Windows PC in the future.
Microsoft needs to take note of this and act on it. I know Microsoft is aware of this and have they have also said earlier that there is little they can do about it, but they have to realize that in the end, it is Microsoft itself that gets the … err … cake in its face. Microsoft is offering crapware-free signature PC’s in the Microsoft Store, but it is not enough, as they have a very limited reach. Microsoft using its own hardware and selling Surface is another good step in the right direction.
It’s a mighty fine idea of having a snazzy ad campaign extolling how fast, and secure Windows is and spending millions of dollars on it, but it all comes to naught when a consumer finds that his new crapware filled Windows machine freezes all the time. Maybe Microsoft would want to consider diverting a bit of this money to the manufacturers instead since the OEMs appear reluctant to let go of even this pocket change. It would be money well spent!
