Bloatware is software that a manufacturer pre-installs on a computer. This often consumes valuable space and can slow down the computer during use. These can be manufacturer apps that you do not need, trials of other relevant applications and in some cases adware.
While not a security threat, bloatware can often mask other threats and affect device usage. One way Focus Networks reduces the effects of unwanted software is to load a computer image. With all new computers we customise the operating system for the user and the business. This removes unwanted software and preps it ready for use.
This simple step to optimise a computers use may invertedly save the lifespan and the usability of the device. This proactive measure reduces vulnerability and creates a streamlined environment catered for your business.
