What to Do When Bloatware Slows Down Your Practice

November 16, 2021

There’s nothing like getting a brand new computer...until you start using it and realize that it’s got so much software you don’t want or need.


We call these unnecessary software bloatware.


Unfortunately, they will slow down your computer, which means they will slow down clinic operations. 


Having more software than you can keep track of also leaves you with a lot of outdated programs that cybercriminals can easily exploit. This increases your risk of getting hacked and getting your data stolen.


If you’ve never heard of bloatware before, don't worry. We’re here to help.


Watch our video to know what bloatware is, why it’s on your computer, and what you can do about it.


Not sure where and how to start?

Our team of IT engineers is ready to look into your technology and clean things up so you can remove bloatware, reduce delays, and boost clinic productivity.
