Bloatware?
Doesn't bloatware usually refer to unnecessary software preinstalled on a system you bought?
Bloatware, malware, shitware, crapware, donowantware, ee-i-ee-i-o ...
"Oh shit gotta bust out Malwarebyes, ADWCleaner, and JRT"-ware
Shitware
Adware? [QUOTE=Fatfatfatty;45213478]Doesn't bloatware usually refer to unnecessary software preinstalled on a system you bought?[/QUOTE] This is what I thought
