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.

Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.42
"Yeah,so far so good! Does a great job."
Pros: Loved it. Its one of the best out there. It does delete items in a more complete way compared to the normal "Add or Remove Programs" way. There are many options in the "View" section that may suit your personal taste. This software completely removes the unwanted program,it does not leave any trace,therefore it leaves your computer free from junk files. -HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THIS PRODUCT.
Cons: Cons. Careful when deleting the registry, one mistake could cause system unstable.

Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.42
Pros: To me it's easily worth a 5 star review. Because unlike some other, paid programs of this type, Revo won't hurt your operating system due to it's main four options, from safe where it will use the programs built in uninstall module to advanced where it will scan your registry and program files to eliminate all traces of the removed program. Even as free ware, it beats out all the others i've tried.
Cons: No cons but this is not the newest version. Version 1.5 has been released and is available at their home page. Anyone complaining about free programs of this quality must have something wrong with them.

Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.42
Pros: Up until downloading and installing Revo Uninstaller I used the uninstaller in CCleaner...which did a serviceable job, but left behind traces of the program it had just installed that I had to root out manually. With Revo Uninstaller that is no longer necessary. Revo uninstalls completely, all the way down to the registry, if I so choose. And, oh yeah, it's free. I highly recommend this program!
Cons: None as of yet.

Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.42
"Uninstall like a pro, alright."
Pros: Revo is great at uninstalling all types of software, well at least when the default add/remove programs would not. Windows default program remover leaves traces of the software all over the place. And I mean all over, in the registry and empty folders in the C:/ (drive). Revo also includes a comprehensive explanation about the software's model #, date installed, company and etc. Bravo.
Cons: I would like to know what is included in the updates, a release note would be nice. Btw, there hasn't been an update in weeks >.>.
