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 than 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 entry's 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. In version 2.3.4 the ignore list also works with the HCU part of the registry. Updated Portuguese and Dutch translation. New translation: Spanish, Valencian. Delete button removed from toolbar. The analyzed programs tab has been updated - it is now searchable.
What's new in this version:
- Now the ignore list also works with the "HCU" part of the registry (very stupid typo-bug!!)
- Updated Portuguese translation, thanks to Rui Morais
- Updated Dutch translation, thanks to computerNERDie
- New translation: Spanish, thanks to ValentÃn Sanz
- New translation: Valencian, thanks to Vicente Adam
- "Delete" button removed from toolbar (still available in right-click menu)
- The "Analyzed Programs" tab has been updated - it is now ... see all new features

Version: ZSoft Uninstaller 2.3.4
"Perfect Replacement For "add/remove programs""
Pros: Free & Easy. It loads your program list INSTANTLY. It even uninstalls much faster! Excellent program. Much more informative than add/remove, and also has a few analyzing options to delete files incurred during an installation. I plan to use this from now on.
Cons: The REASON I downloaded this was to get rid of ONE program that add/remove couldn't. I even tried other uninstaller programs (failed again). Zsoft uninstaller DID succeed, but the nasty program is still stuck in the add/remove list (with no options at all). Since I only use Zsoft uninstaller now, this is OK (since the program is gone from the Zsoft list and gone from my hard drive).
Small problem aside, Zsoft Uninstaller is the only program I found that essentially removed my unwanted program without any errors.

Version: ZSoft Uninstaller 2.3.4
"Maybee it's not perfect but it's safe."
Pros: I used this application on "XP" since the day this version was released and I liked it. Some uninstall software is to aggressive when cleaning up after the uninstalled software. This one deletes the program file only after asking "I think this is the folder. Would you like to delete it?". It's safe and I appreciate the fact that it has never caused any harm to my system. It's much easier to use then the built in "Windows Uninstaller". I wish they would release a "Vista" version.
Cons: This is a good free application. No cons. I am waiting for a "Vista" release!
