CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
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.

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. With its unique "Hunter mode" it offers you some simple, easy-to-use but effective and powerful approaches to manage (uninstall, stop, delete, disable from auto starting) and to get information about your installed and/or running applications. Many additional tools are included in Revo Uninstaller: Auto Start Manager, Windows tools manager, Junk Files Cleaner, or Browsers history cleaner. Version 1.34 enhances security.
What's new in this version:
Version 1.33 improves scanning after uninstall algorithm.

Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.34
"Great uninstaller with extra features."
Pros: Revo uninstaller has a nice and easy to use interface, it shows icons and names of all installed programs. Just click on a program to uninstall now it will show a pop up window. And ask are you sure that you want to uninstall the selected program click yes. Then it will scan before the uninstall click yes again.
Next you have to click scan after after uninstall, and this scan will find left over registry keys and files of the uninstalled program. After it finds all of the left over registry keys and files, click select all and click delete and that completes the uninstall.
The extra features it has are an auto run manager, windows tools, junk files cleaner. And tracks cleaner it supports internet explorer, firefox, opera and netscape browsers, to clean up history, temporary internet files, cookies, address bar history, and index.dat files. This uninstaller can load faster by clicking on options, then click uninstaller and check the box for enable fast loading mode. And it will show system updates, if you check the box for show system updates.

Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.34
"An excellent free application! 4.5 stars is my rating!"
Pros: This free utility has all the features found in paid software uninstall programs plus some extra features. Like the paid applications, it shows all installed programs with an icon in it's user friendly GUI. It does a good job at cleaning up all files, folders and registry keys left behind by the uninstalled program. It's hunter mode and options like deleting from auto start are excellent features. This program gives the user a chance to look and make sure about shared registry keys (prior to cleaning) that could damage other programs. The auto start manager and junk file cleaner are nice extras not normally found in this type utility. It's compatible with "XP" and "Vista" and the price can't be beat.
Cons: Not a con but a reminder to double check any shared registry keys prior to clean up. If there are any doubts, leave it.

Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.34
"Easy to use, extremely thorough"
Pros: Superb utility - easier to use than Windows Add or Remove Programs, but far more thorough. Roots out every left-behind file or registry key - even CCleaner can find no trace. Rather plain-looking interface, but everything necessary is easy to find, and all features work well.

Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.34
Cons: Since, when you ask Revo to uninstall a program, it first looks for that program's uninstaller, and will run the Revo Uninstaller ONLY if the other program's uninstaller isn't found, it often isn't any better than the regular procedure from the Control Panel.
