Can’t Uninstall an Application?

By

With the number of applications floating around, you would have probably come across an app that is flawed at some point. The application can be flawed on so many different levels, i.e. interface, user-friendliness, memory consumption or it could plain suck at all levels, you know like Internet Explorer. Sometimes, you might come across the occasional software that refuses to leave, you try uninstalling but it gives you an error, or the uninstall process runs smoothly only for you to find files from the software and broken registry entries originating from the software still lingering on the computer.

This is mainly due to poor programming with the uninstall program or the programming behind the software itself and it usually occurs in software that integrate heavily into the OS and in custom written install programs. (unlike using popular install programs like NSIS or Inno Setup) There are tons of uninstall programs that is just a sorry attempt by a newbie programmer that lists all the install programs and uses the default uninstaller in the application to get rid of the software, however Revo Uninstaller does more than that.

Revo Uninstaller (Windows) is a free (and paid) application that makes an extra effort to make sure you have a clean uninstall of a program. It scans your computer for remaining bits and pieces of the uninstalled software after the standard uninstaller does its job and makes sure the program has been completely removed. In addition it includes a few other tools meant to clean your hard disk of unwanted files from previous installations and otherwise.

The free version of the software provides the former features mentioned, the pro version (around $40 for 1 computer) provides a few more features, according to their website, it provides more ‘advanced’ algorithms for scanning for remains of previous installations (something tells me that ‘feature’ is a marketing stunt for the most part) as well as more visual customization and tracking of system changes during installation of software.

Checkout Revo Uninstaller.
