Are you an ex-Windows user that misses having an uninstaller or just want a better way to get rid of unwanted apps completely? AppZapper makes it easy to uninstall apps along with all their related files in Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Simply drag-and-drop the unwanted software into program's interface, and AppZapper will gather and list all the related files so you can eradicate them from your hard drive in one fell swoop. The developer of this app calls it the "uninstaller Apple forgot" and we agree that it is both extremely useful and easy-to-use. One important note: this app's current version only works with Mac OS X 10.6 and later versions of the Mac OS. You'll need to download an earlier version of the program to work on older releases of Mac OS X. Overall, anyone that's looking for a way to get programs and all their related files off their Mac easily should download this program.
