(GIST OF SCIENCE REPORTER) Crapware

[February-2022]

Crapware

• Crapware is the software that comes with the new computer device and is pre-installed in the device by its original manufacturers. Such kind of software offers no advantage to the users directly because these are for trial and these expire in a certain period. 
• In some cases, the computer manufacturers install crapware in the new devices to test an application and the third parties pay money in exchange which can finally reduce the price of the computer for the end consumer.
• Crapware is different from malware as it is not malicious and does not do any harm apart from using the disk space.
