Featured Freeware: Revo Uninstaller

Where the built-in and sluggish Windows Add or Remove Programs option fails, freeware Revo Uninstaller picks up the slack. Revo is robust and fully loaded, making even the most insidious Registry-altering program breathtakingly simple to eradicate.

Four levels of removal balance against your comfort level mucking about in the Registry, but Revo does all the hard work, ferreting out Registry keys and letting you opt out of deleting them. The main view can be adjusted, and the context menu offers up a list of choices, from fundamentals like Uninstall and Remove from list, to Search Google, Show the installation directory, and quick access to an app's Help file, its About screen, and even an Update link.

Other power-user tools include an Advanced mode to add program-specific Registry key access to the context menu, and a Tools Optimizer containing the Autorun Manager, Windows Tools access screen, and a Junk File finder/killer. The Autorun Manager provides one-stop shopping for start-up tweaking, while Windows Tools pulls together various and disparate basic utilities under one umbrella, and the Junk killer is just killer. The cool Hunter Mode offers click-and-drag uninstall and process-killing functionality. Simply put: Revo will revolutionize your uninstall workflow.
