Revo Uninstaller – correctly uninstall your software

If you know one or two things about the Windows Operating System, then you’ll know that you should uninstall your programs using the built-in Add/Remove Programs function in Windows, right? Well, this doesn’t always work because some files or registry entries might still remain after the uninstall process.

Revo Uninstaller is a freeware utility that lets you uninstall and delete all the files and registry entries that a particular program is using. The download is less than 2MB. As soon as you run the program you will enter Uninstaller mode where you are able to see all the installed software on your computer. Simply click an icon, then press the “Uninstall” button on the toolbar; you can now choose from 4 types of uninstall modes:

  • Built-in: simply runs the uninstaller of the selected program
  • Safe: Built-in mode + registry scans + hard drive scan
  • Moderate: Safe mode + extended scans to find other application files – my personal favorite
  • Advanced: Moderate mode + deep scans (slow)

Revo Uninstallers features:

  • Hunter Mode – this is a great feature that lets you uninstall or stop a program by dragging an icon (Hunter icon) on a program shortcut that can be located on the desktop, system tray, quick launch bar and other locations
  • Autorun Manager – enable/disable start-up programs
  • Evidence Remover – previously “deleted” files remain deleted
  • Unrecoverable Delete – permanently delete files
  • Windows/Browsers/MS Office Cleaner – lets you delete unnecessary history files and more (I recommend you use CCleaner for these tasks)

What’s new in Revo Uninstaller version 1.75:

  • Improved listing of the installed programs
  • Improved user interface of the uninstalling wizard
  • Improved scanning for leftover shortcuts
  • Extended “Exclude” list of the junk files cleaner
  • Fixed minor bugs

What’s new in Revo Uninstaller version 1.80:

  • VeriSign Inc has digitally signed and certified Revo Uninstaller
  • Revo Uninstaller’s setup package is faster and much smaller
  • The freeware uninstaller starts faster
  • The safety and accuracy of the scanning for leftover items after uninstall has been improved
  • Some bugs have been fixed and other languages have been added

Compatible with Windows 2000/2003/XP/Vista
