This demonstration video shows you how to uninstall applications on Windows 7.  For this video I intentionally sabotaged my computer with a bunch of applications which I don’t recommend anyone actually download, just to show viewers the various tricks that some programs play to prevent you from removing them. This is the third video in a series developed for my Home PC Maintenance course. Enjoy!

Even the most popular PC manufacturers happily sell hopelessly under-powered computers to cost-conscious consumers who incorrectly assume that a new computer is a fast computer. Today I’d like to focus on what I call a Thrasher: a computer so poorly configured that it can’t perform the simplest of tasks.
