"The only uninstaller that completely removes anything"
Version: Total Uninstall 5.10.1
Pros
I have tried many uninstallers, but Total Uninstall is the only uninstaller that completely removes traces of any applications, including registry modifications, operating system changes, etc.
Cons
None that I am aware of

"More Expensive than the System"
Version: Total Uninstall 5.9.2
Pros
Does decent job on functions in the standard version.
Cons
Functions of the Pro cannot be tried out. Cost astounding: $40 for Pro 1-computer license that expires after a year. Renewal currently costs $20.
Summary
Costs of TU kept current exceed costs of the operating system within which TU improves just one minor function.

"Best Uninstaller I've ever used."
Version: Total Uninstall 5.9
Pros
This is a perfect program for a person like me who likes to try lots of software. You can remove all of the registry entries and files that were installed. Even trial software can often be installed again.
Cons
The licence must be renewed yearly to obtain the latest updates. The updates are usually a major improvement too. Plus you have to purchase a "family licence - 3 computers" to use this on more than one computer. AVG reports a false virus.
Summary
I wouldn't want to be without this software. I've installed game software which is often supplied on DVD ROM discs, and once I've finished the game been able to totally remove it from my system. The speed of monitoring the install is impressive. I've tried other un-installer software, but this is the best so far.

"Got me out of trouble twice or was otherwise screwed."
Version: Total Uninstall 5.8
Pros
If you cannot remove corrupted programs via usual means. this program will just munch right past the problem and get all the way down to the root, and bye bye bad stuff, hello as if it was never there again! Genuis on the part of the makers. Nice.
Cons
Can't say a bad thing.
Summary
Being that I do occasionally goof up stuff and then get in a jam and end up with non functional programs, etc. I then need to figure out how to get myself outta the mess, and Total Uninstall has allowed me to totally clean up the bad files and start over. My latest jam has been with iTunes on my PC. Somehow it got messed up and my PC said iiTunes wasn't on my PC anymore but it was, I tried updates, reinstall's, etc, but none of that would work, said I had old stuff or couldn't locate program, etc. Add remove wouldn't work either. So I used the Total Uninstall, downloaded it, and ran in advanced mode: I took out itunes, Quick Time, Apple Software Updater, Apple mobile app. Bonjuour, Apple App Support and 2 Mobile Me's. But my itunes library is still alive. I can now just reload latest greatest available and should be hunky dorky!
This is my way of saying THANKS to Total Uninstall once again. The Ace in the Hole! -
"They at least reply to tech support email"
Version: Total Uninstall 5.8
Pros
Nothing at all
Cons
It is super slow and doesn't really remove (for example) TuneUp Utilities, although it claims to have a special procedure to do so.
-
"Use ZSOFT UNINSTALLER or REGSHOT (BOTH FREE)"
Version: Total Uninstall 5.8
Pros
Nothing at all.
Cons
The company and the product.
Summary
PRODUCT DOESN'T DO WHAT THEY CLAIM, AND THEY KNOW IT.
Every time someone posts lies about the effectiveness of this WORTHLESS PRODUCT or attacks me for posting the truth I WILL RESPOND. These LOSERS are LIARS and CHEATS and they routinely troll software forums leaving positive reviews and threaten litigation against anyone that leave negatives reviews.
INDISPUTABLE FACTS AND PROOF:
Does this program scan the entire registry? NO. It scans 2 out of 5 Registry Hives by default and another if you set it to do so, not to mention the MANY EXCLUDED KEYS. FACT.
PROOF:
In the options menu under Monitored Programs-Scanning Profiles-Default-Registry Tab you'll see only:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
HKEY_USERS
Open Microsoft Registry Editor and you'll clearly see that there are 5 registry hives:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
HKEY_USERS
HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG
Prior to version 5.x, were "MAJOR UPGRADES" Free? NO. Only until recently 5.x was the author forced to give people "One Free Year Maintenance Period". FACT. If you bought version 4.9.5 and version 5 came out a day later, you would have to buy the product again. FACT. Even they author eluded to that point on fileforum.
Are people THAT WORK for this company posting positive reviews and REMOVING USERS REVIEWS. YES. FACT.
PROOF:
�?¯�?¿�?½�?¯�?¿�?½, (Yes, that's his username) is someone so stupid and hypocritical that he didn't even bother to come up with a username, before questioning the intelligence of others.
PROOF: I DARE YOU!
If you don't believe me, find a program with a 30 trial period, install the product with Total Uninstall with before and after snapshots, wait a couple of days, uninstall the 30 trial program with Total Uninstall and then Re-Install the program. You'll find that you have 28 - 29 days left on your trial. If it removed all registry traces then the second time you install the trial program you would have 30 days left on your trial. -

"Reliable. Best of its kind!"
Version: Total Uninstall 5.7.0
Pros
Can monitor the ENTIRE registry. Thoroughly tracks all system changes and allows you to undo those changes. Provides great flexibility in its configuration. Can analyze programs that have not been monitored, and it can monitor programs for you.
Cons
Unless you are quite familiar with how Windows works, it requires you to spend some time reading the documentation. This in turn requires you to be able to read and comprehend what you've read.
Summary
One user has been going on a "review" rampage on sites like this and BetaNews, using multiple accounts to post lies about Total Uninstall, the author, and the customers that like the product. This person's comments have been
I don't know why my text was cut off. The Summary should read "This person's comments have been completely addressed and proven wrong.
In particular, this person's comments on the ability of Total Uninstall to track registry changes has been shown to be a case of ignorance. Does this person admit his mistake? No, he copies/pastes the same erroneous nonsense here.
This is the same person who expects free upgrades for year after year, and then goes on personal attacks when he doesn't get it. The irony is that if he'd provide helpful, positive criticism instead of hateful, false drivel, he very likely WOULD get a free upgrade out of appreciation.
