What Are Your Most Hated Default Windows Apps?

Whether you install it accidentally or it’s something you’re told you “need”, there’s a lot of crappy software out there — and many of us use it without thinking. What are your most hated Windows apps that people say you “need”?

It’s been a few years since our last look at crappy Windows software, and the world has changed a little bit. Whether it’s software that came bundled on your machine, came on the CD with your new printer, or is just one of those apps everyone tells you you “need” (I’m looking at you, Adobe Reader), crapware abounds in the Windows ecosystem.

We’ll be back with a big roundup later on, so hit us with as many as you can think of in the comments.
