    Hi there!

    I've had my Dell 7720 for almost a week now. I have uninstalled McAffe (replaced with licensed ESET) and Dell Date Safe programs. I was wondering what other programs would you recommend uninstalling??? My goal is to try to keep my system as clean as possible without clogging it with all the extra stuff that it came with and is promotional in nature. Thanks in advance!

    I wouldn't recommend using any of the promotional software. There are plenty of free software that you can find out there that do the same job and you wouldn't have to worry about licenses and such. Personally I use Avast free antivirus software which you can find on Cnet from download.com

    Hi,

    The’ Dell Data Safe local back up’ is not a promotional application. It is used to create the recovery discs for the system.

    Please find below, the link for Dell Support web page, you may refer to the same for more information about Dell Data Safe Local back up application.
