I was disappointed to find my new Lenovo Ideapad similarly loaded down with crap. Spent a few hours just installing nonsense.

  Pretty much all consumer PCs are that way. Do a clean OS reinstall out of the box. Unfortunately most consumer PCs don't ship with the media needed to do this.

    No need for installation media when you're on Windows 8. It has a built-in reinstall/refresh function. Just go to the Start screen and type reinstall.

      And I trust the reinstall program that lives on the same system with this crapware why? I want a fresh install from Microsoft-signed media, not the crapware re-installing itself while it wipes all user-data. In the immortal words of Ellen Ripley: Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

        totally agree,lol, i'd format the hardrive too just in case. 10 times if needed...

  Indeed, last time I bought a name brand computer (my Lenovo Laptop) I was really disappointed to find how much crap was installed on it. I ended up formatting and re-installing :/
