Excerpt from LifeHacker.com
"Exceptions: While a good, lightweight antivirus program will protect you from malware, it won't protect you from the much more common crapware, which is another beast entirely. Crapware isn't malicious by nature. Instead, it's software that you don't want but were probably tricked into installing, and it can slow down your computer. We'll talk a bit more about this in the last section, but for now, take a look in the Control Panel under Add/Remove Programs—if you see programs you don't recognize and aren't from trusted developers like Microsoft, it's probably something you don't want on your machine."
