    That’s the first thing I thought of too. How awesome would that be to be able to uninstall all that garbage?

    That being said, there has to be registry values that are set to flag it in the OS. Friends in the EU need to make a backup of the registry before updating and then check afterwards to see what changed.

      Dude excellent idea. Regshot before and after. It could be something as simple as a user running a registry editing script.
