Add Your Own CrApplication

Just added to the website.. a new feature to allow you to submit and vote on crap applications (crapplications, get it?). Ok, so join in and tell us about the worst of them, vote and add comments. They can be full applications that were pre-loaded on your computer or maybe you (or your kids) downloaded some spammy application. Or, maybe there's a desktop or system tray icon that shouldn't be there. Let us know.


Toshiba: "Don't Delete Bloatware If You Know What's Good For You"

Interesting story over on the Consumerist website about a customer who had some problems with his PC after uninstalling some of the bloatware. He was told it was his fault and he shouldn't have done that.


PC Decrapifier Featured in PC World

PC World just did an article in the November 2007 issue of PC World called "Junkbusters!" The article talks about the PC Decrapifier and also includes a picture of yours truly. Of course this will sound biased, but this actually one of the better articles I've seen on the crapware problem.

I've now added the "What it Removes" list to a sortable database. The descriptions and comments are still fairly sparse right now, but they will be updated further as time permits.
