Scan & Fix 50 registry issues FREECNET 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.
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.
What's new in this version: Version 1.91 fixes minor bugs.

"Performed flawlessly for me"
Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.91
Pros
Totally removed all traces of a very stubborn installation that nothing else would touch.
Cons
Haven't experienced any.
Summary
I'm very impressed. It's difficult to believe this is free.

"Works as promised"
Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.91
Pros
Appears to remove all remnants of Java.
Cons
No negatives.
Summary
JavaRA works. I had been uninstalling JavaRE using CCleaner before updating. But when I attempted to install the 2011 WiTopia personal VPN, I learned that part of an old installation was hiding somewhere on my desktop, and it would not allow me to install the new VPN. So, I downloaded and ran JavaRA, reinstalled JavaRE, and end of problem! JavaRA had found the offending remnants.
Sorry folks ... I wrote about the wrong uninstaller .. JavaRA instead of Revo.

"Could be better if it was a standalone uninstaller"
Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.91
Pros
Gets rid of leftover subprograms and fragments
Cons
Uses the Windows Uninstaller or program's uninstaller first, before invoking its more powerful 2nd and 3rd stages.
Summary
Would not uninstall Netgear's Smart Wizard when the Smart Wizard Uninstaller did not work. Ditto for one or two other programs with corrupted Uninstall programs.

"Has removed that this Windows Add-Remove did not"
Version: Revo Uninstaller 1.91
Pros
Seemed to work for me in removing a program that windows failed to remove.
Cons
I assume that this is to lure you into a paid version but have not needed to spend that money as of yet.
