CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: Seth Rosenblatt on January 21, 2009
Where the built-in and sluggish Windows Add or Remove Programs option fails, freeware Revo picks up the slack. It builds out a useful feature set on top of a fairly light, 1.5MB installation. Launching Revo fires up the Uninstaller screen, which shows icons and titles of all programs installed on your machine. You can change the View to List or Details, if you'd like more information. Right-clicking gives users a list of choices, from the fundamental like Uninstall and Remove from list, to Search Google, Show the installation directory, and quick access to the app's Help file, its About screen, and an Update link.
Revo also provides some powerful tools. Advanced mode adds program-specific Registry key access to the context menu. The Tools Optimizer holds the Autorun Manager, Windows Tools access screen, and a Junk File finder/killer. The Autorun Manager provides one-stop shopping for startup tweaking. Windows Tools pulls together various and disparate basic utilities under one umbrella, and the Junk killer is just killer.
The Tools Tracks Cleaner accesses cache-cleaning features, include standard browser cache functions as well as crash memory dump files, MS Office cleaners, system-wide and program-specific search histories, and more. Another cool function is the Hunter, which offers click-and-drag uninstall and process-killing functionality. Revo and the way that it will revolutionize your uninstall workflow is hard to pass up.
Watch the CNET video review of Revo Uninstaller:
Publisher's description
From VS Revo Group :Revo Uninstaller is a freeware innovative uninstall utility much faster than Windows Add/Remove applet. With its advanced and fast algorithm, Revo Uninstaller scans before and after you uninstall an application. After the program's regular uninstaller runs, you can remove additional unnecessary files, folders and registry keys that are usually left over on your computer. Even if you have a broken installation, Revo Uninstaller scans for an application's data on your hard disk drives and in the Windows registry and shows all found files, folders and registry items so you can delete them.
Version 1.83 improves listing of installed programs and uninstall algorithms.

Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.83
"A GREAT arsenal of utilities for your PC"
Pros: Loading of program list is fast. Did not miss anything except Portable apps. Other modules worked well, but the cleaning processes could be better done with CCleaner or any other similar program.
Cons: I would like a feature that allows you to add your own apps that the program didn't detect to their list. Other than this, it is great. I also wish it would specify how many times it overwrites the data in the Permanent Delete module.
Summary: What can I say?! THIS IS A PERFECT PROGRAM THAT EVERYONE SHOULD GRAB.
