As "just a user" I suspect my laptop has acquired MUCH bloatware and junk software that I'll never use. Can FreeFixer identify this junk, tell (warn) me if an apparently "useless" program is actually needed to enable a different (needed) program to function properly, and help me remove legitimate junk software? THAT would be a BIG HELP!!
