Scan & Fix 50 registry issues FREE
CNET Editors' review
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.

From VS Revo Group:
Revo Uninstaller is an innovative uninstaller. 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.

"No support for Revo Uninstaller Pro"
Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.94
Pros
It works great - until a system restore removes it.
Cons
Despite email after email, visiting them at their site, and trying a phone number I found, this company refuses to answer.
Summary
Use the freeware; do NOT buy the Pro version. Revo refuses to acknowledge purchase and ignores all communication.

"loved It until I got Windows Eight"
Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.94
Pros
This was a fantastic program when i had Vista. It kept my computer in great shape
Cons
Now that I have Windows 8 it won't work, get hung up all the time. I wish they would fix these issues for us Windows 8 users. Wish I knew what other program would work as good on windows 8. Any Ideas, out there, if so let me know. I'd really appreciate your help!
Summary
All in all I love Revo, just can't get it to work for windows 8. Otherwise you couldn't find a better program.

"Doesn't work with windows 8"
Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.94
Pros
None for windows 8
Cons
Just hangs up while scanning for leftovers
-
"Awful--bundled with Conduit Mixi.DJ Malware"
Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.94
Pros
Could not tell, Revo is bundled with Mixi.DJ / conduit malware
Cons
Revo bundled itself with Conduit Malware--took me an hour to get rid of
Summary
Dont' trust a software that bundles itself with a malware. Shameful!
-
"windows own uninstaller better than revo:["
Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.94
Pros
Seems thorough.
Cons
Revo only found 81 programs, your uninstaller 86, windows own uninstaller 119 and wise uninstaller 121. I have used revo for about a year now. But was frustrated that it wouldn't even list newly installed programs!!!!! So I searched and found wise uninstaller instead. It is so much better than revo and it finds all of my programs;]
Summary
Don't waste your time on this program. Choose e.g. wise instead and see for yourself what I mean.

"Revo Does Uninstalling Right!"
Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.94
Pros
Revo is quick and thorough; it does what Windows' add/remove does not - it removes all files and folders, and entries in the Registry.
Cons
I found none.
Summary
I recently upgraded a Windows 7 Home Premium installation to Windows 8 Pro and, as a result, decided to clean up the installation.
There were simply too many extra apps installed, all of which did similar things, like defragment the registry, update drivers, and more.
It became clear - because Win 8 Pro 32-bit is a resource hog - that I needed to clean up the PC in many ways.
I had used Revo Uninstaller in the past, and downloaded the latest version of the free-ware. The task of cleaning up began.
I found that Revo did exactly what I needed, as it removed all of each application, or suite's, files and folders; it went farther, by removing the Registry entries for each app or suite.
It is certainly worth trying this utility, as it does aid in your cleanup tasks. -
"Does noet work properly on Windows 8 x64"
Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.94
Pros
Simple user friendly layout
Cons
Did not work on my windows 8 x64 laptop. Got stuck when looking for leftovers. Too bad, because I worked well on windows 7.
Summary
A pity that it didn't work on windows 8 when searching for leftovers after uninstalling.

"Did not work at all"
Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.94
Pros
Uninstalling itself actually works.
Cons
It looks as it is working but it did not work for me.
-
"Seems to work; quick & easy."
Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.94
Pros
Quick, easy and it is free. Seems to be a good product.
Cons
No problems so far.

"Great uninstaller.. Superb software"
Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.94
Pros
Uninstalled a certain mainstream music client and all its files.
Deep scanning which allows for detection of hidden files.
User friendly and completely easy to use.
Works well with Windows based PC's.
Free 30-day free trial.
Creates a system restore and back up as a precaution.
Was able to uninstall itself after use was over.Cons
None. The level of use for me was moderate. Deleted some old anti-virus files, music clients and old game files.
Summary
By far, the best uninstaller I have ever come across in my 15 years on the internet. I will be buying the full version for a small fee. Its really a small price to pay especially for a big piece of mind.
Try it for yourself and see how well it does.
