Geek Soft : Revo Uninstaller
Generally if we are taking some program off our PCs, we don’t give it much thought. Just run the uninstall that the program itself provided and that’s it. The problem is that these programs rarely remove all traces of themselves. Over time, these file fragments can cause issues and add to the general slow down of our PCs that come with age.
That’s where Revo Uninstaller by VS Revo Group comes in. Running Revo in ‘Moderate’ mode first runs the programs own uninstall. Then Revo finds all files, links and registry references that were left behind. I was amazed at all the fragments it found during a recent application purge. It does exactly what it says it does and doesn’t overly complicate or lengthen the process.
One really nice tool included is hunter mode. If you have ever had to do a diagnosis on a relatives or friends PC because of a mysterious program continuously popping up, this is the program for you. Using a drop and drag functionality, you can highlight the offending window or task tray icon to have Revo uninstall it.
It comes with many other features. Things like secure file deletion, junk files cleaner and Windows tools shortcuts. These functions are a nice addition but dedicated programs tend to do a better job with these added on features.
