The Revo Uninstaller is a free utility that allows you to uninstall software and remove unwanted programs from your computer even if you can't uninstall them using the traditional Add or Remove Programs method. Revo also allows you to remove additional unnecessary files, folders and registry keys that can be left over on your computer after the software removal.
When you first open Revo Uninstaller you will see a listing of all the programs installed on your computer. You can double click the item to uninstall it or right click it for more options such as searching Google for more information on the program, going to the registry key or install location for the program and getting help information from that program’s help menu. If there are any programs listed there that have already been uninstalled then you have the option to remove the entry from the list.
Revo Uninstaller also comes with some handy tools to manage, optimize and cleanup your system.
Autorun Manager is similar to the Windows System Configuration Utility (msconfig) and allows you to disable programs from starting up with your computer.
Windows Tools includes useful shortcuts to utilities such as Disk Defragmenter and Windows Services.
Junk Files Cleaner allows you to cleanup unnecessary files left over from deleted applications and typical Windows temp files to free up disk space and improve performance.
Browsers Cleaner cleans items such as your visited web pages, deletes cookies and deletes the address bar history. It will do this for Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and Netscape.
Microsoft Office Cleaner clears the recently used files in Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint and FrontPage.
Windows Cleaner will clean many items such as recent documents, search history, clipboard history, empty the Recycle Bin and more.
Evidence Remover will permanently erase files and folders from your hard drive that have already been deleted but may still reside on your hard drive.
Revo Uninstaller also comes with a utility called Hunter Mode which lets you uninstall, stop or delete programs by aiming at the applications icon on the desktop, quick launch toolbar, system tray or opened application. This can be very useful because a lot of programs load on start up and stay running without you knowing about them and they don’t necessarily have to be running.
