Fresh start

[aj61]

Hello,

I have just completed a formated recovery and downloaded malwarebytes,avast,firefox and a removal tool for norton( have removed norton antivirus but norton firewall is still there).

Before I start loading up my limited hard drive with all the windows updates and service packs is there any way to remove all the junk that came with my walmart special.

I have an hp pavillian a305w,with a 40gig harddrive. there seams to be a lot of crap on here that is unneccesary. I would like to set this up for limited use, a few games and checking email. maby as the slave for the printer on my network.

Thanks in advance for your help and expertise

Hello and

I have used The PC Decrapifier located HERE but these days I just go through the add and remove programs.

Thanks, I have cleaned up most everything and have 80% of my hard drive free. Am going to begin with MS updates, that should eat up some space.

Would you or anyone else be able to help with networking?

I ran in to an issue with windows update and contacted Microsoft Support. They were kind enough to resolve my networking problems.

Thank you for your response, I no longer have an issue to resolve regarding networking.

Thanks for your help, If I find any other issues I will begin another topic.

Again thank you, Art
