If you install AC, to uninstall it you need to use the uninstall tool, a separate download. AC literally installs soo much shit, and runs it. Totally not needed.
This goes back to, adds to and enforces what I said in
post #11 above where I said,
I will go to great efforts to avoid installing any software that comes with hardware.
If you install their suites, you likely will get a bunch of programs you don't need, but frankly, probably don't want. Some may even be considered spyware - adware at least.
This is also a big reason I always build my own computers - because of all the extra junk that is pre-installed on factory made computers we (1) don't need and (2) do nothing to improve performance or security.
The worst, IMO, are the "trial" versions of software, notably security software like Norton and McAfee. They not only are near impossible to completely remove, but use intimidation and scare tactics to convince less experienced users that they WILL become infected if they don't cough-up their credit card and other personal information for their expensive subscription plans.

You don't have time to skim though a video, but you have time to complain about it here, ok then lol. These complaints over anyone posting a video are annoying
Well, misrepresenting what posters have said or done is not just annoying, it is deceitful and dishonest.
I do not complain about "
anyone posting a video". Small, to the point videos are fine, often providing great information and guidance. In fact, short videos, when done correctly, often "illustrate" a procedure or process in a much more understandable way then just words. So you simply are wrong and misrepresenting the truth
when you accuse me of complaining about "
anyone posting a video".
You would know if you bothered to read through this thread before posting to lambast me that the issue is videos that take 15, 20, 25 minutes (or even longer!
) to say something that could have been said in a couple sentences.
You would have seen in
post #2 above where I asked for a summary (without complaining, BTW), and no less than 15 people responded with "Likes" or "Loves" for my post! And even more posted comments in agreement.
You would have seen where the OP (
@FreedomEclipse) nicely did just that by posting a concise "TLDR" summary in just 1 sentence!!
And you have seen where the poster of this latest epic video even thanked him for that summary!
If you had bothered to read through this thread you would have seen where NO ONE disagreed with me - except you. So, I guess you're right and everyone else is wrong? Is that how it works?
FTR, I have no problem with folks posting videos. I have posted a few myself. But pretty sure none of mine have been more than 5 minutes (in fact, 3 might be the longest). And even then, I point to the timestamp in the video where the key point is being made so they don't have to waste their time viewing the whole thing - unless they want to.
So to be clear, my problem is with the video, not the poster (my apologies to
@_roman_ for not making that more clear) and I (and others) already explained why. They take 15, 18, 20, 25 plus minutes to say what could have been said in a couple sentences or 5 minutes or less.
Why? To get more sponsors? IDK - but most are a big waste of time.
And curious? How does one "skim" through a video anyway? Put it Fast-forward? That's rhetorical - not looking for an answer so please don't bother to post a reply. I don't want you to waste your time.
Have a good day.
