CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

When you need something more powerful than the Windows' built-in uninstaller, Ashampoo UnInstaller may be the solution. The program both installs and removes software and also offers basic cleanup tools for deleting cookies, fonts, broken shortcuts, Internet Explorer add-ons, duplicate files, and empty folders.

Using the installer module to add new applications makes the most sense, as it creates a log file that will then be used by the uninstaller to remove every trace. This process could've been smoother, but it does work as advertised. You also can uninstall non-logged applications in a similar fashion to the Add/Remove Programs function included in Windows. The other modules work well but seem like afterthoughts since they have little to do with the program's core functionality, excepting the Find/Remove Empty Folders tool. The program also offers an Expert mode for additional control of various processes.

Though it's a far cry from essential, Ashampoo UnInstaller does an excellent job if you take the time to configure it. It's not the best bet for newbies, but we recommend it to power users and pros who demand ultimate control over their systems.

Publisher's description

The longer you use Windows the slower it gets. Your hardware isn't getting slower--it's Windows that's getting clogged up. One of the main reasons for this is garbage left over by programs that don't get removed properly. Lazy programmers think that what you don't see doesn't hurt you and so they only include the main program components in the Uninstall entry in the Windows Control Panel. The rest isn't visible but it's still there, adding more and more unnecessary ballast to your Windows setup with every program you remove. Many programs leave hundreds of Registry entries, files and even drivers and Windows services in place after they have been uninstalled.

Version 2 adds reinstaller, start menu cleaner, and Windows Services Manager.
