Quickly install/update software

If you’ve just bought a new PC or reinstalled Windows, then I’m sure you’d love to save some time installing software. There’s so much software to install and it can take a while to download it all, then keep them up to date. This is where Ninite comes to save the day!

Ninite
Ninite.com is a great website where you simply click on all the software you need installed, download the Ninite installer, then run it and wait. Ninite will then install all the software you chose without any toolbars or junk that’s usually included, if you agree to install it (many people do install the toolbars and adware by mistake – Ninite helps prevent this!).

Currently Ninite can install many popular browsers, messengers, email clients, media players, runtimes such as .NET, image editing software, document readers/writers, security software such as Microsoft Security Essentials and much more. There’s just so much software available, and you can simply choose your favourites or the one’s you know best.

New PC running slow? Decrapify it!

Is your PC running slow? Getting lots of random popups? Even if it’s new there could be a lot of software you didn’t install, making your new PC run very slow. Many PC manufacturers will pre-install extra software, trialware and generally software you won’t ever need. PC Decrapifier is an easy to use application that can help you remove the software you don’t really need.

So what does PC Decrapifier do?
PC Decrapifier will firstly create a system restore point, so if anything goes wrong, you can restore your PC back to the way it was before removing anything. Then it will scan your PC for software that is known to be crapware (the software you don’t really need), then after a single click from you (just to confirm you don’t want it), it will then remove the software for you.

After the known crapware is removed, you’re shown a list of software that is installed to your PC. If there’s any software you don’t want or use, it can be removed but you might want to Google Search the software first, unless you know what it is.
