CNET Editors' review
There comes the time in every computer program's life when it outlives its usefulness. Whenever this happens, uninstalling the program is the best option. MyUninstaller wants to be the tool for the job and promises more information and ease than Windows' built-in uninstaller.
This freeware jumps into action with an interface that is equally informative and simple to operate. The bulk of the program is dominated by a list of every program on your computer. Next to each icon and name is its version, the company that produced it, and a brief description of what the program does. Users scroll through the alphabetical list of programs and select the one they wish to uninstall. A simple click on the Uninstall icon and the job is done. The program's display also offers users opportunities to keep files, copy, change installation, and search.
MyUninstall quickly and easily erased programs in our tests, but we hit a few snags. We encountered unexplained options like Quiet Uninstall. A trip to the Help menu revealed a terrible screen that provided absolutely no guidance.
That said, we had no issues with the program's primary uninstall features. If you are tired of Windows' uninstaller, you'll lose nothing by trying this freeware.
Publisher's Description
From NirSoft:
MyUninstaller is an alternative utility to the standard Add/Remove applet of Windows operating system. It displays the list of all installed application, and allows you to uninstall an application, delete an uninstall entry, and save the list of all installed applications into a text file or HTML file. MyUninstaller also provides additional information for most installed applications that the standard Add/Remove applet doesn't display: product name, company, version, uninstall string, and installation folder.
What's new in this version: Version 1.65 adds Show System Components which allows you to hide or show system components.

"SImple and easy to use, works on Vista Home Premium."
Version: MyUninstaller 1.45
Pros
It was able to remove a "broken" uninstall that Windows could not.
Cons
None noted.
Summary
If you're looking for a simple, easy to use product and don't know where to start looking, this is a good one. Sure, you could probably find a program with more "bells and whistles" but -- who really needs them? It does the job.

"Hasn't worked yet"

You can still use the control panel to uninstall once it fails

-
"Good uninstaller."
Version: MyUninstaller 1.40
Pros
My Uninstaller downloads in a compressed zip folder. But it does not install into programs. So when the compressed zip folder is open a shortcut has to be made from the set up file to have access to this uninstaller again.
It has a basic interface that shows all installed programs. It does load programs faster and uninstall programs better than windows add or remove programs does.
Cons
Sometimes this uninstaller will leave an empty folder behind of the program that was uninstalled.
