The first place you should have looked was in the Add/Remove Programs listing. You can safely remove any free/trial/shareware applications that they pre-installed that you do not want.

I have to agree with sharper , go through the control panel and run uninstalls on any programs listed there that you dont want , THEN post a HJT log for analysis :)

Even my Dell notebook when I got it was filled with uneccessary applications. Like PLEASE... I don't want AOL!!

/nods head - also has a dell notebook

I uninstalled almost everything that came with my laptop. :P

Yes, i did do that when i first got the computer, now all thats left on it is stuff i know i want and stuff i'm not sure if i need it or not.
