New Lenovo laptop - queries

Dear All


I'm the happy owner of a rather lovely new Lenovo laptop!


Two questions:


1) Which Lenovo bloatware can I remove? I've downloaded the PC decrapifier but am not sure which boxes to tick.


2) I thought I had downloaded the full free AVG but instead I have the trial version. Does anyone have a link to the full free one?


Many thanks
Maureen
