1 min read
Summary
The following Windows applications are unnecessary and can cause harm to your computer:
RAM cleaners: Though true to their claim that they free up RAM, it is better for the system for it to be filled with useful data to be accessed later than sitting idle, as this will improve speed
Bloatware removal tools: These tend to delete programs and features that are needed by the system or the user, which can cause system instability and update issues
Automatic driver updaters: These can install the wrong drivers, or even malware-infected drivers, which can cause computer malfunctions
Registry cleaners: These mass-delete old registry entries, which can lead to the deletion of important entries, resulting in malfunctioning apps, data loss, or system instability; it is advisable to clean the registry manually
