I think we can all agree that the default way of removing software in Windows is probably the worst way possible. It takes ages until the Add or Remove Programs window populates the entries and removing entries is painfully slow and sometimes not working as well. I have been using MyUninstaller until now which is faster and comes with some comfort like removing entries from the list of installed programs and details about the software that has been installed.
A reader mentioned Safarp recently in the comments which is another software handling the uninstallation process far better than Windows would ever do. I was pleasantly surprised about Safarps speed. It populated the list a lot faster than MyUninstaller which maybe can be attributed to the reduced amount of information that are displayed. By default only the name, the publisher and the estimated size are displayed while MyUninstaller displays additional information such as installation location and product version. Safarp displays version on most items if they are selected.
Both support uninstallation of programs, removal of entries in the list, quiet uninstall and program repair but that’s where the similarities end – better, that is where Safarps functionality ends.
MyUninstaller has several functions that make it the better product in the end. It supports uninstalling multiple entries at once, a link to the installation folder and Registry and a search for instance.
Safarp is definitely faster and probably the better uninstaller if you open it frequently. MyUninstaller offers more information and comfort functions which make it ideal for users who need those. I will continue to use MyUninstaller because of this.

[...] Irriterar du också på att Windows Lägg till/ta bort program (under kontrollpanelen) tar evigheter att ladda alla program man har på sin dator? Har man flera program installerade som jag gör tar det ännu längre tid. Man sitter där och rullar tummarna i väntan på att laddningen ska vara klar. Är det så det ska vara? Vill man vill ha det så? Nä inte jag! Det får räcka nu! Jag begav mig ute på nätet på jakt efter en ersättare till Windows lägg till/ta bort program och hittade Safarp tack vare ghacks.net. [...]
Nice tool!
Thx for all the great recommendations.
..
Is there something better than the ZapGrap screen crabber?
Martin, can you answer a stupid question?
Why don’t use them both, like I do?
Safarp is good for “quick kill”.
MyUninst – for big cleanup.
Handgun and big gun – better have both ones :)
Don’t forget CCleaner also has an uninstaller built in.
How does MyUninstaller compare to Revo Uninstaller? as mentioned a few weeks ago in
http://www.ghacks.net/2007/10/29/a-better-software-uninstaller/
Revo Uninstaller offers a mix of both softwares. It is faster than MyUninstaller, offers more details and functions than Safarp but does not support multiple uninstallations.
Your Uninstaller is good as well….
I thought the built in Windows uninstaller is the best and safest. Lol…
