The reason I need to uninstall some programs is because I downloaded a few "free" versions, like anti spy software. However, when I wanted to kill the threats discovered, I found out I have to purchase the full version. This to me is unfair. So I tried to uninstall them. And that is where I found the problems.
There should be a site in the Internet, provided by Microsoft, with instructions on how to do these simple tasks that we are all used to carry out. In XP there were no problems, with Vista I found that millions of useless apps were loaded at startup and after three months of using the OS my computer delayed 3 minutes to start. With W7 it now takes 45 seconds to start, which is a good improvement. But the "security" implementation built into it sucks. It reminds me of what your President, Mr.Obama, encountered last Xmas. A lot of security at the airports and they let a known terrorist get into a plane and almost create a major disaster. May God bless the heroes that prevented it. Will W7 be the same, vis a vis security: ie, lots of hindrances and the end result is viruses, malware and you name it? Rafael Copquin PS when I ran the antispyware program it found 2 threats, and I am using McAfee full protection..........
