Removing crap ware from computer.
One needs to be very careful what one downloads from the
internet, especially free antivirus software. The software might
be good and recommended by experts such as those on sites
like CNET but what we are not told is that vendors of these
softwares are not all honest. I have downloaded from
companies like Innovative Solutions, only to find later that I
could not uninstall them. Recently I installed Avira Free
Antivirus, unaware that they had bundled it with crapware from
a company called Ask.com. I was never asked if I wanted this
shit and there was no easy way to get rid of it and Avira
offered no help either. Then I remembered that Windows had
SAFE MODE. I went into that, found my way into C/Program
Files and deleted everything from Ask.com, and used my
Glary Utilities (a wonderful program) and uninstalled the
unwanted softwares.
