I spend several hours each day removing spyware from computers. I'm getting
quite good at it if I say so myself. With a brand new Compaq it takes longer
to remove the crapware that was installed from the factory image than to
remove most spyware infections I see. If you need to restore the factory
image for some reason all the crapware is back and another 1/2 day is lost.
Strangely enough if you buy HP business class machines almost none of this
crapware comes installed. It's only the cheap consumer level machines. Makes
one wonder how much the crapware companies pay HP/Compaq.

They may install some trial software, but it can be easily
