Scan & Fix 50 registry issues FREECNET Editors' review
A good standalone uninstallation application can remove traces of programs that other uninstallers leave behind, and that includes the built-in Windows feature. Advanced Uninstaller Pro is a free tool that not only removes all detectable traces of the programs you uninstall but also automatically cleans traces from the Registry. Its unique installation-monitoring feature automatically or manually tracks what happens to your system when you install or uninstall programs. It not only ensures that all traces of installed programs are removed but also helps diagnose installation problems. Advanced Uninstaller Pro also packs a wide range of system maintenance tools and tweaks.
Advanced Uninstaller Pro's interface has a unique look but familiar functionality, with large buttons on a space-themed background. The program's features are categorized by function, such as General Tools, Registry Tools, and Internet Browser Tools. Some tools show up in more than one heading, such as the Windows Services tool. The main tool, the uninstaller, lists programs alphabetically and by version (32-bit or 64-bit) but not by installation date, version, location, and other headings we're used to seeing in an uninstaller. That's our only complaint, though, since this tool was quick and thorough in its actions. We especially like the built-in Registry scanner and cleaner, which can remove traces of uninstalled programs immediately. We could specify which entries to clean or exclude. We enabled the Installation Monitor Feature and selected automatic monitoring, but we could also track installations manually from Advanced Uninstaller's system tray icon. The feature records exactly what installing a program does to your file system and Registry, and displays it in a log view. Advanced Uninstaller Pro has a full raft of extras, such as a Cookie Manager, Duplicate File tool, Registry Cleaner and Optimizer, Startup Manager, Fonts tools, and much more.
Advanced Uninstaller Pro brings some unique and useful improvements to a simple process that all too often comes up short. You can't depend on Windows to remove all traces of uninstalled programs, but this free toolkit can do the job as well as any tool we've tried. Adding installation date would make it ideal.

"Looks promising"
Version: Advanced Uninstaller Pro 10.62
Pros
A couple uninstalls went well
Cons
Ideally an uninstaller should be able to uninstall a folder and its contents, including any executables, and their registry entries. Both the Advanced Uninstaller Pro as well as Revo Uninstaller focus only on programs that come with an uninstaller. That means any poorly or maliciously written program without an uninstaller cannot be uninstalled (as best as I can tell).
Summary
Need to use it longer to be sure. Uninstallers can play it safe by leaving doubtful files on your hard disk. It takes more effort to be more thorough and still be safe.
On the couple uninstalls I did, it not only removed the program files, but also did a registry scan. So looks promising. -
"Doesn't work. Crashes on closing."
Version: Advanced Uninstaller Pro 10.62
Pros
None. Complete junk.
Cons
Doesn't really work. Can't help but wonder why CNET lately has been giving 5 stars for crapware.

"Can't really say. Usually doen't work."
Version: Advanced Uninstaller Pro 10.62
Pros
Seems to have a lot of capabilities
Cons
Hangs on loading
Summary
Wouldn't buy it an will probably uninstall it.
OMG. I was reviewing the wrong product. I agree that this is a wonderful program and I like it much better than the other perfomance enhancers out there. I would have delete my previous review but it was too late when I saw what I had done. Please forgive me!

"This is by far the best uninstaller I`ve used"
Version: Advanced Uninstaller Pro 10.62
Pros
It does a thurogh job of getting all the file with the update. Also
the amount of tools you have at your disposal is enormous. I`ve used this particular uninstaller for about 3 years now.Cons
The only thing that i found was with the update the main interface
got kind of wonky! I mean used to be when you cliccked uninstall the interface would open with the programs on top. Now it opens the same way but it immeadeatly minimizes to the task bar, which is not such big. The first time it happened tho it took me a minute to figure out what happened!!Summary
I guess I`ll just stick withit, if it ain`t broke do`nt fix it..
PS Keep watch and you can get a good deal on it some times.
