A bit of a funny headline... why can't they just purchase advertising space like anyone else? or maybe it's a friend of the editor that made this "PC Decrapifier"?
Well its freeware so I don't see the harm as long as it doesn't install any spyware/adware... well saying that I didn't install it...
Oh the irony if it did have it. :DQuote:

As for this... well, a news item is a little pointless - slow day or just another chance to take a shot at Vista in an article? A solid review on the other hand would be welcome.
It'd be nice to see Hexus review some of the lesser-known software out there occasionally. Things like FastStone Image Viewer and CDBurnerXP. Software that can do many of the things that larger brand-names can, but for nothing and not needing 400mb of free space just to unpack the installation files. Not thinking of Nero here. Oh no.
Spyware!=BloatwareQuote:

This program is crap itself.. does it uninstall itself when you run it? :rolleyes:
Seriously, its crap, try CCleaner - Home for a small freeware prog that does all this does and MUCH more....
What is Hexus doing plugging this rubbish?
THiS IS HEXUS... They don't have teh bloatware... if they try it themselves it will say "0mgz you haz no bloatwares!!!1! why did you bother installing this software" :pQuote:

I do like CCleaner, but this app appears to target particular software, rather than just registry entries and temporary files, so in theory, does it do more? This is a question, I haven't used it; obviously you have so you have experience of it.Quote:

Go on Hexus - it's free, give it a go!
