CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
As the developer promises, ZSoft Uninstaller is indeed far superior to the native Windows program uninstaller. The freeware first runs the unwanted program's original uninstall option before cleaning up with its own technology. But for a more thorough uninstall, ZSoft Uninstaller offers an analyze function that you can use during the initial installation of programs to track exactly which files are being added to your system.
Later, when you want to uninstall a program, you can click the Analyzed Programs tab and rest assured that when you uninstall the program every associated file will be included. The search box for finding specific programs and the capability to get rid of temporary files are nice additions to this free program.
ZSoft Uninstaller works well, although it's not as robust as some other free uninstallers out there. Even though it may not have all the chrome of the competition, when it comes to getting its core task done--uninstalling unwanted apps--ZSoft Uninstaller is a good choice.
Publisher's description
From ZSoft Software :An uninstall utility that is superior to the build-in function in Microsoft Windows. It allows easy uninstallation of programs and features a possibility to analyze an installation so it can be completely uninstalled. It can also find and delete temporary files, delete entries from programs that is no longer installed, hide Windows Updates, hide entries from the list that you are never going to uninstall (drivers) making the list smaller and therefore easier to manage, and show more information than available though the build-in Add/Remove applet. On top of that it can also automatically find entry's from programs that are most likely already uninstalled and automatically find entry's that are considered crap-ware. Version 2.4.1 includes updates to Hungarian, Italian, and German translation.
What's new in this version:

Version: ZSoft Uninstaller 2.4.1
Pros: This uninstaller uninstalls programs as well as uninstallers, that you have to pay for. Click on settings and go to show icons, and click as small icons in the list then the interface looks great. And back ground colors of installed programs, can be changed to what ever color you choose.
This uninstaller definitely uninstalls programs better than windows add or remove programs does. When I unistalled a program with this uninstaller, it shows a small pop up window. That says I think this was the folder the program was installed into, and asks is this correct? Do you wish to remove this directory? Click yes and that will remove the folder.

Version: ZSoft Uninstaller 2.4.1
Pros: This program works fine on a "Vista 32 bit OS", regardless that it's not shown here. Some on line research and I found that out. It's safe and simple to use. It asks after uninstall about deleting folders. I found that other uninstallers can cause more harm then good because they delete shared registry keys and dll's, thinking they are cleaning up after the uninstall. Never with this program.
Cons: None so far.

"Zsoft is a great uninstaller."
Pros: When I first opened this uninstaller it shows installed programs, with a green check mark for complete installations, and a red x for incomplete installations. And the interface can be customized to show small or large icons to give it a better look. Zsoft uninstalls more thorough than the Windows Add or Remove programs does.

Version: ZSoft Uninstaller 2.4.1
"Does a good job and is very easy to use"
Pros: This uninstaller is 10 times better than the Windows Add or Remove Programs. It loads very fast, and uninstalles fast, too. Another good thing about it is that it has a search box that will display the results as you type, just like the instant search in the Vista Explorer.

"Gets programs uninstalled when other programs can't."
Pros: Easy to use and gets the job done
Cons: Uninstaller's icons can be confusing. The red X runs the program.
