I still run the old version 8 which is fine... but 9 onwards are nothing short of buggy bloatware

the mcafee you get with the dell is only a 30 day trial anyway.

Replaced with AVG free and jobs a good un.:T

Mine arrived yesterday, very pleased with it, nice sturdy laptop and fine for surfing the web.

I removed a lot of the software and its speeded it up! However, im cofused what this Dell support centre thing is? Do i actually need any of this Dell software on the Laptop? what does it do? Damn, i wish i opted for the TrueLife screen, i forgot how laptop screens look!! :rolleyes: oh well, its still good enough for me esp the price!! :beer:

I took mcaffe off as well and put avg on, which dell one can you take off as one is for the touchpad & wirelss card I think! I also took AOL off.

Does it only have 1 memory slot as I need 2 gb ram really!

If you don't want all the rubbish that dell installs on your computer get rid of it with the Dell decrapifier tool

I used it and you can choose what you want to take off(all of it in my case)and it does it all for you,painless;)

Call me thick but i cannot seem to find the download for this. I can find the PC decrapifier but not the dell decrapifier?
