Crapware

Also referred to as bloatware, crapware is a term given to software that comes pre-installed with a new OEM computer but really offer the customer no advantage because it's trial software or expires after a few days of use. Computer manufacturers often include this software in exchange for special deals with the publishers, which often help reduce the overall cost of the computer for the consumer.
