#10 | Hi,
I had an Acer from Tesco and to clear the unwanted progs I used the charmingly-named 'PC Decrapifier' (freeware). It does let you check what you're getting rid of before you go too far!!
Hope this is of help? http://www.pcdecrapifier.com/

I had heard / read about de-crapifier but have not, as yet used it. Interesting concept. Thanks for the reference.
