Re: Dell Bloatware Remover
I don't have a Dell machine handy right now, but if anyone gets a chance to try this out I'd love to know if it works well or not for them.
Answer:
Re: Dell Bloatware Remover
If I get a chance, I'll try it out tonight. I'm just afraid it'll remove a few things I want (like the DVD software).
Does anybody know if there is any chance that this may have a malware aspect to it?
Answer:
Re: Dell Bloatware Remover
I don't think there's much chance of it being malware, reading through the guy's blog that created this shows many comments from people with questions and feedback and it's open source. I doubt it would uninstall the DVD software, might want to post and ask on the guys blog if no one here has used it.

Please post of you have used this yet and tell us how it went. When I get my E1505 in a week or so, I am gonna do it right away (I really don't want to remformat it right when i get it)
Answer:
Re: Dell Bloatware Remover
I downloaded it and poked around a little. Some thoughts:
- Its a text file, very small [18KB]
- Its intended to be run as a script file, no experience here
- It was designed for the Dell Inspiron 1300, whatever that is
- Since I've reinstalled XP MCE "a hundred times" in the last month, I'll go that way ;)
