Not a single trace of that crapware, no hassle.įor cleaning? You can find so many applications and questions about this even on this site. I was surprised, but it restored everything. Anyway, I fired up the USB (with the Win 7 installer), and went right to the recovery section. After a force-reset, it took about 40 minutes to get to my desktop, and my desktop freeze after a few additional minutes. Instead of something good, my PC couldn't boot up.

I have been expecting this, so over the past months I have regularly 'cleaned' my computer - removing programs, defragging, CCleaner, and virus scans.
