How to remove bloatware

http://download.cnet.com/blog/download-blog/how-to-remove-bloatware
It is far better to not install Bloatware on your system in the first place.
Even the best removal tools usually leave some traces behind.
Using a Custom Install and having Unchecky running in the background is one way to prevent Bloatware from getting to your system.
Doing a bit of research before deciding which program will do the best job may also help.
Proactive is always better than reactive. :)

Yes I always do custom install and based on my signature I do have Unchecky and Revo Uninstaller installed. Also very true proactive is always better than reactive.  :). Out of the tools mentioned in the link and on the web, Revo Uninstaller to me is on the list and always trust on it.  :)

Samsung deliberately disabling Windows Update[/b]
Well, my setting for WU is to download updates but let me choose whether to install them. That's for two reasons. One, I don't want updates being installed while I'm in the middle of a gaming session. That can be disastrous. Two, it gives me the chance to review the updates, especially the optional ones, and decide if I need them or not.

Having said that, what Samsung is doing is wrong. People should have the option to set WU to work as they want it to.

Why would we be worried with NSA when your software manufacturer is whom is against of you in such a critical issue: keep your system updated.
Go ahead NSA, try to beat Samsung :)
Samsung will patch its software to stop disabling Windows Update ‘within a few days’

Something else to consider. I've always used LastPass but,
Google's Smart Lock may be safer.
