Advanced Uninstaller PRO

The standard Windows uninstaller is far from being considered a reliable tool. If you uninstall a program, you will still find leftover files, from that program, in the registry or other locations. You can use all sorts of specialized applications to get rid of these files, but with Advanced Uninstaller PRO you can remove any programs from your computer, along with any trace data they leave behind. As a result, you won't have to perform so many cleanup tasks, because you will have less junk files to clear.

Although the software's name contains the word "PRO" and it provides a huge number of useful features, you will be glad to know that Advanced Uninstaller PRO is offered completely free of charge. You will not encounter any kind of restrictions, nag screens or hidden fees. It works on Windows XP, Vista, Win 7 and Win 8 and it provides full support for both 32 and 64-bit operating systems. The setup package is roughly 20 MB and it takes less than a minute to complete the installation process.

The user interface is kept up to date with the latest design trend of Windows 8. Its options are displayed as large, colored squares and rectangles. Additionally, the software feels very comfortable, thanks to the elegant sliding animations, which are triggered when you switch between sections. The available utilities are categorized in different sections of the interface, based on their purpose. If you hover with the mouse cursor over a tool or section, you will find a short description, on the same window.

Besides its uninstalling feature, the program includes many other tools, for managing startup programs and services, hard drive and registry cleaners, a Start menu cleaner, a duplicate finder, file shredder, report generators and more. The uninstaller displays your programs in a list, just like the Windows utility, but it also displays ratings, for each program, based on user reviews, which you can access immediately, on your preferred web browser. You can review and rate a program yourself, on the same interface, in the same section. Advanced Uninstaller PRO will remove a program, using its default uninstaller. When the process is complete, the software will scan your computer for any remnants of the uninstalled program. If it finds something, it will let you decide what to delete or keep.

Advanced Uninstaller PRO comes with an installation monitor as well and it is safe to say that it is a fairly unique feature. If you turn on the installation monitor, the software will log every action performed by third party applications, when you install them. If you uninstall a monitored program, Advanced Uninstaller PRO will remember what files are created and where, so it will completely remove the targeted program.
