Revo Uninstaller 1.6

Publisher's description of Revo Uninstaller

view larger

Revo Uninstaller is a freeware innovative uninstall utility much faster than Windows Add/Remove applet. With its advanced and fast algorithm, Revo Uninstaller scans before and after you uninstall an application. After the program's regular uninstaller runs, you can remove additional unnecessary files, folders and registry keys that are usually left over on your computer. Even if you have a broken installation, Revo Uninstaller scans for an application's data on your hard disk drives and in the Windows registry and shows all found files, folders and registry items so you can delete them. Version 1.5 added saving of sorting column and type (ascending, descending), improved listing of Windows Installer (MSI) applications. Version 1.6 features enhanced scanning speed and user interface improvements.

  Revo Uninstaller

  still, the best free program I've run across in ages!

  by: Charles K on 03-May-2008 11:08:41 PM

  Pros: Simple to use and understand. Has 4 different settings from using the program (to be removed) to advanced where it will get it all in 99% of all uninstalls. The only thing that got rid of McAfee security which came factory installed on my new Dell desktop ( the removal tool didn't get it all). It has a couple other tools like a startup manager. Something folks might be interested in thats not available here is the Revo Uninstaller portable version. This is available at their home page and is a great alternative as it works beautifully from a portable device like a Flash Drive. I've tested it from my 4 GB Transcend Jet Flash travel drive and it's the same as this version, just not installed on my hard drive. Just open the extracted folder and click the icon.

  Cons: Not safe 100% of the time. In rare cases it might kill a shared registry item (so some claim at a couple user forums) but I've yet to experience it.

  soemthing's wrong...

  by: rrtopaz on 04-May-2008 07:36:31 AM

  Cons: a window pops up during the filling of the screen w/all my installations that says "we're sorry but revo uninstaller must close" and some technical jargon appears in the detailed view of it...it never totally opens anymore; i now use zsoft installer instead (visually unappealing but does the job in less time).
