![]() ![]() ![]() What's the difference between using an uninstaller program, which runs the official uninstaller then cleans up what's left, vs running the official uninstaller through add/remove then using one of these programs to do the clean up? Is it just that the uninstaller apps have a more limited, and therefore safer, scope, or is there more to it, i.e. Says "No need to install it" on download page but then gives you a setup fileĬCleaner / Kerish Doctor / Wise Care 365 / PrivaZer Not free and website doesn't specify duration of license, probably won't use but if it's a lifetime license and really good I might Doesn't seem as widely used/regarded as others Freeware according to majorgeeks but have to buy from mirekusoft website, which doesn't specify license duration, so that's not very encouraging (only reasons I'm considering this despite it costing $ is due to the monitoring and if it's a lifetime license, not a subscription) Realtime monitoring (having a program always running just to monitor the occasional install seems counter-productive, and I'd probably lose more performance from this than I would gain from the cleaner uninstalls) +Realtime monitoring of installations (don't have to remember to manually take a snapshot before and after) +Use snapshots (I realize this isn't a perfect way of doing it and has potential drawbacks, but to me it seems like it would be the most thorough and accurate) Primo / Regshot (Primo is a newer fork of Regshot) ![]() Here's my options and what I like and don't like about each ( and please explain why you prefer a certain program): ![]() That said, I'm interested in trying one or two, but it's not important enough for me to pay for, let alone an annual fee, hence why Revo isn't an option (the free version of it doesn't have full 圆4 support and I seem to recall reading another issue with the free version). And I've typically just used CCleaner periodically to clean up extra crap left behind. I install tons of programs, and I've rarely had difficulties removing them, certainly nothing a reboot didn't help resolve. I've never used a dedicated uninstaller program before, nor have I really felt the need to. I'm looking for the best free uninstaller in terms of safety (not deleting stuff it shouldn't) > performance (deleting as much as possible of what it should). ![]()
