Hi! it's always good a feeling to restore to factory and have a clean install of your OS. Yes you will probably have a ton of updates and Apps to restore after factory restore, but a clean install makes you feel good, knowing your PC is free of all the BS that's accumulated on your rig. PUP's are getting to be a real PITA when you reinstall your freeware after a clean install. It's all about $$$$. I use to use CNET, but they have given in to PUP's, so I no longer use them for freeware installs.
Here's my choice. You won't find any PUP's on this site
PS I never know where to post my threads, so please move this to appropriate section on the forum.
I hope this site helps with your freeware. If the freeware is any good, filehippo will have it! and no PUP's! will be installed on your PC
