CNET Editors' review
This free program offers nothing groundbreaking, but it does make uninstalling multiple programs a bit easier than it is with Windows' built-in tools. Easy Uninstaller's soft-blue interface is pleasant to look at, as well as user-friendly. All programs installed on your machine show up in a list with check boxes next to their names. The application's main windows also displays information such as program name, publisher, and developer URL, but it doensn't flag potentially harmful items such as suspected spyware. The main advantage Easy Uninstaller has over Windows' uninstallation tool is that it lets you remove multiple programs at once, saving you a few precious clicks. You also can quickly back up and restore your current configuration should an error occur after removal. In our tests, the program did its main job just fine and even removed a couple of stubborn applications Windows couldn't. Best of all, Easy Uninstaller is completely free, making it a smart pick for those who download a lot of software.

Hi, things have only got worse!! I wanted to uninstall a program and did it with Perfect Uninstaller and while it was deleted from the 'Display Name' list it was still very much live on my 'C Drive Program Files'. This is definitely the worst programme I have ever had the misfortune to use. I've also contacted you by e-mail and a previous review and contrary to your promise of support I've heard absolutely nothing!! Please, please can I have my money back?? or I'll contact some consumer group!! Tom Mason
I recently subscribed to PerfectUninstaller as I had a problem with a program I had installed to watch streamed football on the internet. The Programme was 'PPStream/PPStream Network Video' which was running continuously. PPStream could not be Uninstalled by your normal program as it did not appear on the 'Display Name' list. Unfortunately not being very computer literate I then used 'Force Install' and had to do it 2 or 3 times...and it still hasn't totally got rid of PPS.
I then made matters worse by not reading the instructions properly or not reacting to your prompt...'the scan results will be deleted forever and cannot be resumed ...' Confident in the line at the top that informed me 'the wizard will bring you through the uninstallation process' I clicked 'yes' and lost all my 'All Users\Start' functions which were stored in the same folder as PPStream. Any advice on how to reinstall my 'Start' functions or have they gone forever. Thanks, Tom Mason.
I know I messed it up but following subsequent repeated attempts to uninstall it PPStream is still running continuously on my computer!!!
