Publisher's description of Revo Uninstaller 1.71
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 1.71 fixed a bug in Browsers Cleaner tool.
Editor's review of Revo Uninstaller 1.71
stars
- "Uninstall like a pro"
- Version reviewed: Revo Uninstaller 1.71
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 1.71
Pros: I've been using this program for quite some time & it's never done me wrong. It can get rid of the hardest to uninstall programs even when a removal tool won't. Like Norton & McAfee. To me, this is is best in class & to think it's free makes it a must download for everyone.
Cons: No cons.

Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.71
Pros: Removes all the traces of software that you want to uninstall.
Revo Uninstaller makes a restore point before the uninstall procedure is started. Then the built-in uninstaller of the software is automatically started.
Once the built-in uninstaller ( of the software you want to remove ) is done, Revo Uninstaller scans your computer to see if there are registry entries and files that are left by the uninstaller. If so, you are able to delete them.
The AutoUpdate feature is also handy, you click the icon and it tells you if a newer version is available.
Cons: None

Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.71
"A program that does the job."
Pros: A comprehensive uninstaller, and that's what I like about Revo. What Revo does best is removing the traces of the software after it is uninstalled and removing hard-to-remove programs like Norton.
Cons: Scanning in Advanced Mode is a bit slow, but it's not too bad.

Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.71
"I've always loved Revo Uninstaller"
Pros: Version 1.71 is pretty much the same as version 1.60, it looks exactly the same. The only thing that has changed is the new version (1.71) fixes a bug in Browsers Cleaner Tool. I enjoy Revo because it has the ability to eliminate the normal program uninstall programs. It does use the normal uninstall program, but if that program is corrupted, or the programs install.log file is missing/corrupted, it is able to uninstall that program no matter what the Windows Add/Remove says. (I've had several programs that incorrectly logged or did not even log the installation of a program, and Windows Add/Remove states that the program cannot be uninstalled.)
I highly recommend Revo Uninstaller 1.71 for anyone who uses a PC.
