Because Windows Machine bought in normal computer store is filled with crap trial ware. It is like that because that's how the shop / computer manufacture is making money. The first thing you should do when buying a windows computer is to nuke the installation by clean installing windows from USB using a media downloaded directly from Microsoft.

- killyourfm 4y agoWhen I see a security-focused channel talking about a "Clean laptop" with "nothing installed," I assume they have wiped it and installed Windows 11 with an ISO. I mean, otherwise these results would seem perfectly ordinary and wouldn't be raising an alarm.
- TowerTall 4y agoThey have not wiped it. 15 seconds into the video they say "What happens when you buy a new laptop and open it for the first time". Not many seconds later they show that the computer makes request to google and has McAfee installed. I am sorry, but the first thing a clean windows devices does is not to make requests to google and it will not have 3rd party anti virus installed.
- pyb 4y agoWhy is this getting downvoted? Sounds correct.
- taspeotis 4y agoI mean c'mon now, McAfee? It's pre-loaded crapware. If anything was freshly installed it's going to be a fresh copy of Dell Windows Recovery Media. > Many third-party services were present as well, as Windows 11 had seemingly important things to say to the likes of Steam, McAfee, and Comscore ScorecardResearch.com, which is a market research effort that "studies and reports on Internet trends and behavior."
