When GrimeFighter tells me that it can improve my PC’s operation by removing “bloatware, trialware, and other unnecessary programs” launching on system startup, is there any way to find out what programs it is referring to before giving it licence to clean everything out?
Unfortunately there is no detailed listing before allowing it to clean.
That is why I don’t like it and haven’t installed it, that same as any other application that purports to clean/speed up a system without telling you exactly what it is going to do and give options to select what to clean. As good as it is meant to be, until it does that I won’t use it.
@DavidR
Question; Are you aware if there is any info. given ‘after’ running GrimeFighter?
I don’t have it installed either so I a little in the dark :-\
I don’t use it either. No one would delete anything without knowing what it is. Grimefighter could possibly even be removing registry keys as far as we know.
Agreed Alikhan.
So no information before or after processing
Is that correct?
No, since I wouldn’t let it run, I didn’t get any results.
I haven’t read(that I can remember) anywhere where a user let it run and was provided with the results in detail as to what was cleaned/removed/altered.
I’d be curious to know.
You don´t get any result on what it wants to do exactly.
I told me 312 MB of space would be aquired, 12 tollbars would get uninstalled (da hell? 12 toolbars?! interesting…), and some registry fixing would get done. Now what exactly i would be, no idea. You can just click optimise or choose to close the window. Of course i closed the window!

And how exactly did this change anything in the mentioned GF behaviour?
Right, it didn´t!
