An Application Uninstaller

Easy way to delete: Highlight whatever you need to delete, press the space bar and it is deleted.

Revo Uninstaller
What is it? An Application Uninstaller, a clean-up program, and Autorun Manager
Operating Systems: Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows ME, Windows XP and Windows Vista

What makes it so good? Revo Uninstaller's main purpose is to thoroughly uninstall applications from your computer - even if you don't see them listed in your Control Panel's remove programs dialog. Not only does it remove the program, but it removes all the garbage installed programs normally leave behind after you uninstall them. You don't need us to tell you that if you install and uninstall a lot of software, you've probably got a registry full of orphans. (Oh! Orphans are registry entries leftover when the program that put them there is uninstalled but its registry entries are left behind.) Orphans are just another name for junk. If your registry becomes full of junk your computer will become slower - and the number of error messages you see will increase. Eventually, if you keep leaving more and more orphans behind in your registry you might find yourself unable to boot your computer.

Uninstalling programs with Revo Uninstaller can help you reduce the number of orphans left behind in your registry. Whereas if you keep using Control Panel's Add or Remove programs applet (or on Vista Programs "Uninstall a program" applet) the number of orphans left behind will be substantial.

Revo Uninstaller is one of the best freeware programs we've ever reviewed. Your results may vary, of course. Every computer is different. We found Revo Uninstaller so good that we've named it this week's Freeware Pick of the Week! Grab it now while it's still free.
