Thanks GOTD and IObit - even if the Pro is only good for 1 year (really? why keep doing that) the next version will be out by then and it will show up again on GOTD anyway. Many folks don't know this but this program actually has a background service (UninstallMonitor.exe) that watches during installs on your system so it does a pretty good job of getting residual files some sloppy uninstallers miss. I recommend folks who get this just be aware that if you can do harm to your system if you are not careful and understand what you are doing so when in doubt just leave it up to the app's own uninstaller if you are not 100% sure. I have used IObit Uninstaller both paid and free for over 4 years now and yes it does sometimes find wrong files or registry entries with powerful scan but I always correct it when it does and it only does that about 1-2% of the time and it's typically something like Synaptic Touchpad and Fingerprint sensor drivers (related but separate things that are installed in same top level directories). The only harm done was by you because this program makes you verify and elect to delete anything unless you tell it to or set a setting to it's non default state.ĭon't blame this application for your ignorance.
