Re: Pre-installed software

Thanks, Name Game, yes, it's an ACER with all those pre-installed programs, most of which I'll probably never use.
I'll use MSCONFIG to stop them from loading on startup, but the thing that caused a red flag to me was the eSobi "partners" page that said "Generous 25% sales commission for having product list on your website "...this sounds like they are spammers to me, but then again, that's just me being paraniod.
...or I could just use WinPatrol to stop them from loading, and help shorten bootup time.
