Also known as bloatware or junk software, crapware is software that comes pre-installed with your computer and doesn't offer any advantages, either because it's a trial version or will expire in a few days. Computer manufacturers often include this software in exchange for special deals that reduce the overall cost of computers to consumers.

Note : Crapware should not be confused with adware, spyware, or malware. In addition to consuming disk space, crapware is not malicious.
