Revo Uninstaller Pro Editor's Review

A Handy Tool to Keep Your Machine Clean and Tidy

Windows' Add & Remove Programs tool is often simply not up to the job of fully removing programs from your machine. This is where Revo Uninstaller steps in.

In addition to its abilities to more completely remove programs from your machine and deal with those irritating part-installed programs or remnants left by previously uninstalled programs, Revo Uninstaller also brings some additional tools. Many of these can be summed up as easy ways to access linked areas of maintenance, such as the Tools Track Cleaner that makes it easy to deal with cache-cleaning, search histories and more.

All of these features are wrapped up in a tiny 2.5Mb download.

Pros: The installation monitor is helpful if you want to undo any system changes, and the Forced Uninstall tool is great for getting rid of the bits and pieces that can be left after a regular uninstall.

Cons: Revo Uninstaller can occasionally leave fragments remaining on your machine, and some users have reported difficulty in finding programs with the search tool

Conclusion: Overall this is a powerful and useful tool wrapped up in a small package. The small size of both the download and installed program is a boon, especially for those who wish to use it in order to free up disk space. Problems with finding all programs do not take away from its efficacy in dealing with those that it does, although that could be frustrating for some users.
