Should I Remove It? Tells You Which Programs Are Safe To Remove

Windows/Web: Should I Remove It? explains what those mysterious processes are in the Windows task manager, shows you what those unlabeled applications are in your programs list, and lets you know if they’re safe to stop, uninstall or delete.

Should I Remove It comes in two flavours: A richly-featured web database, and a handy Windows utility that you can fire up whenever you’re in the mood to clean up your PC. The app lists running processes and other installed applications to help you figure out what they are, what other programs they may be related to (or necessary for), and whether they’re OK to scrub off your system.

Each item is listed with a score next to it from the Should I Remove It community, and clicking any of them will open a browser window and take you to the app’s page in the database. There you can read more about the publisher of the app, what it’s supposed to do, and whether it’s connected to any other programs you may actually need. Should I Remove It works especially well on manufacturer bloat and crapware on new PCs that can linger even after you’ve cleaned it up. Hit the link below to give the app a try.
