Can you tell me what to delelte from my Inspiron 1520?

I got my laptop a month ago, and it has all the default applications.

Can someone tell me what i should delete, that is useless?

Thanks alot

 

Sure , if i remember correctly u can delete useless applications like works 8 and anything besides dells quickset

 

Really, anything that you don't use is useless and can be removed. All you do is just look at the installed programs and one by one ask yourself if you use it.

Obviously this pertains to actual software. Don't mess with any windows stuff or drivers.

 

I don't think Dells these days come with a lot of unnecessary software. For starters, delete the Norton Internet Security Suite or the McAfee Security Suite and replace it with Avast. Also, you may want to delete any Google software that comes with it. They're sometimes useful but that depends.

 

I would suggest AVG over Avast. I tried Avast 4 before and it was total bs. AVG is much simpler and easier to use and does a better job with detections.

 

I don't agree with you on that. I don't have specific sources to confirm this, but if you look on the net at some of the virus detection tests it goes Avast>Antivir>AVG. Also, I think the AVG interface is ugly.

 

I already deleted antivirus, going to delete google desktop as i dont like it

Thanks for replys

 

I second the avast thing , I got avast and zone alarm here to protect my notebook.

 

If it's like the vostro, I'd say:
Microsoft Works
McAffee
Roxio and Sonic crap
Googlebar

I'd really love to be able to remove Windows Media Player, Windows Mail, MS Internet Exploder, but I should keep their corpses on my system and losing time to keep that darn WMP from stealing file associations again and again.

Mmmm, maybe there is some sort of Vista Lite pack, to decrapify Vista and still have it working.
Hints, anybody?

 

its called XP
