Revo Uninstaller comes for instance to mind when users want to make sure that the default uninstall routine that the software uses clears all traces of it from the computer system. Many programs leave traces of the program on the system, often in places like the Windows Registry, start menu or the installation directory.</p><p>IObit Uninstaller is another application that tackles those uninstallation leftovers. The portable software uninstaller displays a list of installed programs in its interface. The sidebar contains several other useful shortcuts to only list toolbars, programs that have been recently installed, large programs, rarely used software and Windows Updates.</p><p><span
id="more-25694"></span>The option to list recently installed software is nice for someone who reviews software on a daily basis.</p><p><img

A search on top can be used in case lots of software is installed on the PC.</p><p>Checkboxes in front of every program entry can be used to select multiple programs for uninstallation at once.</p><p>IObit Uninstaller supports both normal and advanced uninstallations. A forced uninstall option is provided as well in case the uninstaller offered by the application itself is not available or working anymore.</p><p>The advanced uninstaller performs the same routine that Revo Uninstaller performs. It begins by starting the default software uninstaller of each selected program. The user has to follow the uninstaller until it finishes.</p><p><img

Leftovers that are found are then displayed so that they can be kept on the system or deleted.</p><p><img

IObit Uninstaller handles this step better than Revo Uninstaller as it lists the entries directly.</p><p>IObit Uninstaller creates a system restore point before the uninstallation is started to give the user an option to restore the settings if something went wrong during uninstallation.</p><p>The manage menu in the program interface holds options to export a list of installed applications, manage the log files that the program automatically creates and to start System Restore.</p><p>IObit Uninstaller is an excellent program to uninstall software in Windows. Its leftover scanner ensures that no entries of the uninstalled program remain on the computer system.</p><p>The portable software program is compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Windows. The download is <a

KUninstall is a portable software program that offers a similar functionality as Revo Uninstaller does. It will display the installed software programs almost instantly in its interface. The number of programs listed is higher than that of the standard Windows add and remove programs control panel module. Each program in the list is shown with its product name, version, publisher, install location, date, uninstall string and addition information like the company&#8217;s website.</p><p>A filter on tab can be used to quickly find the desired program in the list. There is also a finder icon which can be dragged onto any open window to uninstall the program or kill the process of it in Windows.</p><p><span

Another option is the uninstall icon in the top menu which is always accessible. A small menu is displayed afterwards giving the user the option to uninstall the program (this will trigger the default uninstaller) and to scan for leftovers.</p><p>KUninstall works faster and more reliable than the default Windows uninstaller. It does however lack several features at this stage in development that make Revo Uninstaller superior. It is for example not possible to select multiple programs for uninstallation (which would be executed one after the other). There are also no filters to hide Windows updates from the product list. The scan for leftovers is very fast which could mean that it is not as thorough as the one offered by Revo Uninstaller.</p><p>KUninstall is compatible with most Microsoft Windows operating systems (but apparently only 32-bit editions). It can be <a
