    So I heard dell loads a bunch of junk software on their computers. Many people recommend that I remove these programs. Im really new to the whole computer world thing and Im not too good when it comes to software and stuff. Can anybody give me a step by step on how to remove this junk software?

    There is a step by step guide to clean installs at the top of the forum if you want to do a clean install.

    There is also software called Dell Decrapifier that will remove all of the junkware:
