Thanks for your reply. I know how to do all of that, but the salesman made it sound like it would be more than just uninstalling to get rid of it, that only they could do it. Maybe just sales hype?


Possibly hype, but more likely, it's just plain ignorance on the part of the salesman.

The big box stores like Circuit City and/or Best Buy are probably about the worst places in the world from which to buy a computer. The sales staff is woefully ignorant of what a given computer's capabilities are, and the after sale tech support is simply horrendous. These stores simply won't pay a decent salary to attract competent staff.
