Software Update: Bulk Crap Uninstaller 3.4.1

Klocman software released version 3.4 of Bulk Crap Uninstaller a few days ago and a successor is already available. Released under an open source license, this program can remove several programs and Windows Store apps from your computer at once. It first performs the standard uninstall procedure and then it scans the computer for leftover shortcuts and registry keys to remove them as well. Afterwards, external programs such as CCleaner can also be started. Finally, it also includes a start-up manager, which can be used to disable programs that start with Windows.
