  • They often come with different pre-installed stuff , mine had Office 2007 1 year trial so I kept that , It probably came with antivirus too that is your choice what to use. Tell us what else there is I deleted the games they weren't great. It has a recovery software too which I don't dont use either, but it depends on whether you have some other software for that too. You need to be more specific I am afraid.

    I deleted anyPC, casual games, office live addin (depends on if you use Windows live - I use thunderbird for email) , game pack,
    McAfee (personal choice echoed by many on here, try avast or Microsoft Security Essentials, you will need to use the McAffee removal tool here ), I deleted phoenix techs stuff but can't remember what it was so obviously I didn't use it, I think it was failsafe for tracking your sammy if you lose it?. I also deleted the movies one since I don't use the sammy for videos, but if I did I would use VLC (free from videolan - not pretty but hey it plays music and videos and has one of the most comprehensive list of codecs ) Left the webcam stuff alone but never use it those who know me do not reminding how ugly my mush is.

    Also have a look here a forum for samsungs
