Advanced Uninstaller Pro 2006 7.6.2

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

With its plethora of system-management features, Advanced Uninstaller Pro makes for a good, regular-maintenance utility. The interface offers a few ways to get to each program feature, including menu items and expanded feature categories.

The large quantity of system-maintenance features runs from the very useful, such as the Start-menu cleaner and Registry Optimizer, to weaker additions, such as the Font Manager. A Quick Cleaner option runs a number of the cleanup features at once, a nice addition for people who don't want to spend hours on maintenance. The ability to schedule maintenance sessions also is a big plus. The program cleans up after Internet Explorer and Firefox, deleting typed URLs, cookies, cached files, and extensions. It's also especially nice the application can clear tracks from Windows system areas and a large number of third-party apps.

The uninstaller feature only seems to launch a program's native uninstaller feature. It also doesn't demonstrate completely reliable performance, as it left a number of folders and other debris after removing programs. We'd also prefer a longer trial period than 21 days. Advanced Uninstaller Pro won't bring your system to factory-new condition, but it does chip away at the dross slowing your computer.

Publisher's description

From Innovative Solutions :

Advanced Uninstaller PRO is a suite for uninstalling applications and keeping your computer fast, clean, and in its best shape. A powerful installation monitor is included. The Services Manager gives you complete control over services and helps you apply optimized Windows services profiles. The Duplicate Files Manager makes sure no files clutter your disk. The Startup Manager helps you control start-up programs and contains detailed information about each program (a huge database of more than 4,000 applications is included). The Registry cleaner, optimizer, defragmenter, and backup tools can keep your Registry clean, fast and speed up your computer. The Quick Cleaner wizard helps you do a one-step clean-up of your computer and delete history records of more than 100 programs, including Microsoft Office, MSN, WinZip, Kazaa, RealPlayer, and Firefox. You also can uninstall Internet Explorer toolbars and plug-ins, and manage your Control Panel icons and fonts.

Version 7.6.2 solves the computer reboot problem (where the installation monitor, if started, was not allowing the computer to reboot).
