It's been a couple of months, so I can't remember everything I removed. I just used PC Decrapifier to remove everything from Acer except DriverSetupUtility, Acer Audio Invert Utility, and AOP Framework. I also removed the trial software that Best Buy throws on everything: Office, Norton, cloud stuff, etc.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Just the Antivirus. The rest is minimal and necessary. The anti-virus is horrible and I would use Sophos and nothing else.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I kept most of the Acer specific applications and uninstalled almost everything else. In fact I removed most of McAfee stuff and activated the built in Windows security which is fairly strong.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There are several softwares coming with it pre-installed and most of them are useless and un-installing them will not adversely affect your system function. I un-installed most specially the RAM using ones and it worked even smoother. Besides that there is no worry as if you wanted them back, simply recover Windows and all will come back.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Anti Virus, after about a month. I get free one from our Internet Provider... multi seats.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Well usually I don't remove any software that comes with the laptop. At some point I may decide to use it.
