    "More Miss than Hit"

    January 21, 2011  |   By 2_i

    Version: Ashampoo Magical UnInstall 2.82

    Pros

    Does decent job in removing programs of which installation it monitors.

    Cons

    On its own, misses program installations 1/2 of time. Does not know how to remove programs of which installation it failed to monitor. It is completely murky what tasks it carries out during the unistallations. After it starting backup, it won't stop

    Summary

    This program is mostly a waste of time on the part of a potential customer. It appears, at least to me, that installations done prior to the installation of Ashampoo need to be removed outside of the Ashampoo. Help is a disaster - when you try to learn how the program operates, it starts activating its functions that take forever.

    "Good concept, but..."

    July 23, 2010  |   By 24mutt

    Version: Ashampoo Magical UnInstall 2.82

    Pros

    Compares your system state before and after an installation and creates an uninstall log, so if you want to uninstall a program, you can be sure everything will be deleted that was associated with that program.

    Cons

    No control over what gets associated with a specific installation in the uninstall log, so it sometimes deletes things that should've stayed.

    Summary

    Used it on Windows 7 and the results were disastrous! The new, paid version is compatible with Windows 7, but I'll skip it. Revo Uninstaller gives you control over what gets deleted after an installation.

    "Looks good- works poorly"

    July 4, 2010  |   By smileyface2005

    Version: Ashampoo Magical UnInstall 2.82

    Pros

    Dosen't try to up-sell to the "pro" version. Not "bloatware" where they add other medicore utilities that you dont really need. All you see is the basic uninstall functions when you click on the system tray icon.

    Cons

    No confidence that you were really getting a complete uninstall because of all the error dialogs that appear during the uninstall process.

    Summary

    Claimed to track changes to the registry and system during installation of a program for a more complete uninstallation. I was impressed by the speed of the scans for pre and post installs compared to others that claim to use the same technique. Good idea but when I tried it for a few uninstalls, I kept getting error dialog boxes written entirely in German!!

    "Uninstall............"

    November 13, 2009  |   By 23985826

    Version: Ashampoo Magical UnInstall 2.82

    Pros

    Nothing! I couldn't even uninstall it! Every time I tried ireceved the followig error:
    can't find <INSTALL.LOG.FILE>

    Cons

    Unable to uninstall it. Maybe that's why they are giving it free!

    Summary

    4. cons probably explains it. However, Ashampoo is still a favourite of mine and credit were credit is due they did frward a 'mini e-zip' programme til enable me to erase it.
