        FAQ

        What is bloatware?

        Bloatware, also called crapware and junkware, is useless software that finds its way onto your computer. It generally comes preinstalled on new PCs, or bundled together with other legitimate software you downloaded.

         

        Some common types of bloatware come in the form of free trials, toolbars, and apps. They’re often made or distributed by your PC manufacturer and preloaded on your machine, like financial or weather apps. Other bloatware looks and behaves a lot like adware and spyware, which are types of malicious software.

         

        Not only is bloatware useless, it also eats up your resources by consuming disk space. Sometimes it runs in the background — even if you’ve never intentionally used it — where it can gobble up your RAM and CPU power.

        Is AVG’s software uninstaller feature safe to use?

        Absolutely! AVG TuneUp was developed by optimization experts, and we continue to improve it with every release. Safely deep-clean your entire PC and optimize your disk, browser, Windows operating system, and more than 200 apps with our expertise guiding the way.

        How do I know if my device has bloatware?

        You can tell your device has PC bloatware by checking for preinstalled apps that came with your device, especially ones you never use or are difficult to uninstall. Look for unfamiliar programs, duplicate apps that perform the same function, or apps that show pop-ups and unwanted ads. You can use an anti-bloatware tool to help identify software you can safely remove.

        Is bloatware a security risk?

        Yes, bloatware can pose a security risk as it creates vulnerabilities, collects personal data, and certain types can track your online activity. Outdated bloatware and other software can leave weak points for hackers and malware, too. If you want help identifying these apps, removing them safely, and protecting your laptop or device, the AVG TuneUp bloat remover is just what you need.

        Should I remove bloatware?

        Yes. Removing bloatware can boost device speed, free up disk space, and strengthen security. Most preinstalled or unused apps offer little benefit, but drain resources and slow your system down. If you’re unsure which Windows 10 or 11 bloatware to remove, use a trusted PC bloat remover tool like AVG TuneUp to safely remove unwanted programs and leftover files.

        Does bloatware affect Mac and Android devices?

        Yes, bloatware does affect Mac and Android devices, hurting performance, killing battery life, and causing potential security risks. Many Androids are chock-full of pre-installed apps that are difficult to remove. While Macs don’t come with third-party apps, users may consider some pre-installed apps bloatware.

        What is the best way to remove bloatware?

        The best way is to use a dedicated program to remove bloatware. This can help prevent errors arising from manual uninstallation, protect essential system software, and clean up your device. Bloatware removal utility tools like AVG TuneUp can automatically scan your laptop, find unnecessary programs, and root them out along with any leftover junk files.
