Revo Uninstaller Pro Review
Program removal under Windows is often not as thorough as it should be. It happens more often than not that program traces remain on the computer. This can be empty folders, files that the program created after installation or Registry entries. And while that's usually nothing to worry about, it may have consequences. Among them privacy issues, empty folders that clutter your sight and sometimes even compatibility issues if you try to reinstall a program or install a new version of a program.
Revo Uninstaller is one of the most popular third party programs to clean up leftovers after program uninstallations in Windows. The program runs the default program uninstaller first, before it scans the system for leftovers to make sure that no traces remain on the PC.
The standard version is freeware. Revo Uninstaller Pro has all the features of the standard version plus several more that are especially suitable for tech savvy users and professional work environments.
The application displays a list of all installed programs on start up. The list is immediately available and divided into new programs at the top and all programs below that.
All functionality provided by the free version of the program is available in the pro version. The interface displays all program modules of Revo Uninstaller Free more or less in the same place. New options have been added to the interface. This includes a sidebar menu on the left linking to a set of related tools (which are also available in the free version but there only under Tools), additional options in the main menu bar and tabs to display multiple program modules at the same time.
The program uninstaller works nearly identical to that of the free program version. A few differences exist that are worth mentioning. It is first possible to configure and manage program groups in the pro version. You could move all important programs in a work group, or all Internet applications into the Internet group. This can be used to distinguish important apps from ones that can be removed from the system.
The pro version creates a system restore point and a full Registry backup before running the default program uninstaller and its cleanup module. The cleanup module benefits from advanced scanning algorithms that are not integrated in the free version.
What's more? A forced uninstall feature is available to get rid of program remnants that are not listed (anymore) in the installed program list. That's useful for instance if you have deleted a program directory accidentally, or when you want to remove partially installed or uninstalled programs.
Another interesting option that is only offered by the pro version of Revo Uninstaller is the ability to monitor program installations. This basically monitors all changes made to the system during program installation. Programs installed this way are listed under traced programs in Revo Uninstaller Pro. The monitoring makes sure that all traces of a program will be removed from the system during uninstallation.
Additional pro-only features include the ability to export or print the list of installed programs, a customizable user interface, visual themes support, command line program support and full 64-bit compatibility.
The program options display several interesting preferences. Registry keys, folders and files can for instance be excluded from being analyzed and included by the program during cleanup.
Verdict
Revo Uninstaller Pro tops the free version in many regards. Backups, full 64-bit support, real-time monitoring of program installations, and forced uninstallations are all features that extend the free version's functionality. The developers could work on the reporting and log accessibility though. An option to create uninstallation reports would come in handy in business and professional environments.
In the end it all comes down whether you are satisfied with the functionality that the excellent free version offers, or if you need one or multiple of the features that the pro version adds on top of that.
Both the free version and a 30-day trial version of the professional program version can be downloaded from the developer website. A portable version is offered there as well.

As I install/uninstall a lot of programs in order to find the best ones for my needs, this would be very helpful is keeping my computer clean and functioning well. Throwing my hat into the ring for a license. Thank you.
I’ve had good use out of the standard version, but those extra perks of the pro software would be nice…
Looks promising software. Have used few free one of these for uninstalling programs in the past
revo was one of my favourite, count me in. Thank you
I used Revo Uninstaller back in the 32-bit days and loved it! I surely would like to try a 64-bit version.
Thanks for the chance to win a free version!
Count me in! ;)
Revo Uninstaller Pro and Total Uninstall are my favourite uninstallers:D
Hi,
Im currently using “Your Uninstaller 7” and it will be sweet to compare it againt Revo Pro. On the sheet it looks as Revo tops the competition, but there is nothing like a head-2-head to declare a winner; that is as far as im concerned.
So, will the dice roll my way this time ?
Thanks for the offer.
Revo portable is my default uninstaller.Would love a pro licence.
Count me in to these giveaway
Thanks for this interesting post ^^
I always loved Revo Uninstaller and the Pro version will be a bonus if I can lay my hands on it
I have been using the free version for quite a while. Pro looks really good
I am using the Free version from 2 years now and the experience is satisfactory. Though I am really impressed by Pro version’s features.
Woooow,my favorite uninstaller.It would be nice to win the pro version.Thank you.
Even the free version remains a top pick to uninstall apps.
I’ve been using the free version of Revo Uninstaller through several versions, and have always been very impressed. Its accuracy in selecting Registry keys and files to remove, without including those belonging to or shared with another program is, by far the best I’ve found–except for Total Uninstall when removing monitored installations. Within the last 2 months, I’ve tried Comodo Program Manager, Advanced Uninstaller Free, Ashampoo Magical Uninstall, Your Uninstaller, and Z-Soft Uninstaller. Some of those include installation monitoring, but it is very inaccurate. Even without monitoring, Revo was far superior. I’d be very excited to try to Pro version, both to see how much monitoring improves the uninstall results, and to try the forced uninstall feature. To the extent that it works, that feature would cut down on the laborious manual Registry surgery that is the only alternative for programs no longer listed in Add/Remove Programs (or the equivalent applets in later Windows versions).
Revo is the best easy use program I’ve found for removing ‘stuff” that doesn’t want to be removed.
I am using the free version of REVO and I really would like to use the commercial version. Thank for this great giveaway. Good luck to everyone.
Thanks for giveaway.
Very nice app. I really would like to win a license. Count me in.
HELP! HELP! HELP! What’s happening? who is crying? who needs a helping hand? ” it’s me!” someone answered . Truly saying I was somewhat confused and scared, because I thought that nobody was in my room. “Who are you?” I asked. ” I am your Windows, and I need help, please, help me!” Very strange fairy-tale , I am sure , everybody say these words. But I think nothing strange is in this. Everybody likes and, of course, needs to install many new programs. But after using them , everybody needs to uninstall them. And it is a very difficult thing, because after uninstallation many junk and unneeded files leave themselves in Windows registry. Poor windows! It has not got a tongue, and it can’t say it. But its actions are clearly visible. The system is getting more and more slow! And Windows needs your help. But how can we help it. I think, you know , my answer will be very simple- Good uninstallation program. Revo Uninstaller Pro is really a great program for this operation. It uninstalls unneeded programs very well. Nothing is left after using Revo. It has many unique features which a real help for windows, because its registry is clean and therefore happy. Of course, Every user is happy too.

Very good program. I’m using a free version.
Count me to this giveaway.
Revo Uninstaller Pro…awesome. The best uninstaller of them all, bar none

Great review Martin..

But, I´m getting pretty tired of all these cold leftovers from uninstalled & deleted programs in wich i find bloating all over my computer…
So this program will come in very handy…
Happy X-mas & so forth from Denmark :)
Using the free version, upgrade to the paid one would definitely be nice!
I have Revo Uninstaller Free. This is a very good program. PRO version allows for full control over the applications that are installed and I could use this version of OS 64-bit.
In my opinion, Revo Uninstaller Pro is the best uninstaller.
Thank You.
REVO Pro is the King of Uninstallers!
Great Tool to get rid of the Unneeded programs!
Thank you very much for Giving a License Away!!!
Hi,
The Free version is already one of my fav tool to uninstall software. With the install monitoring, the pro is a must to have when trialling lots of software. Count me in please.
Thanks for the giveaway.
I had to switch from the free version to IObit Uninstaller for some 64bit love. Would love to get back to Revo though!
This sounds an excellent program please include me in the draw
handy software
Yes, please! I use the free version on every PC I own & work on, and I’d love to have the pro version. Thanks
Thanks for the chance to win a free version!
Revo Uninstaller Pro and Total Uninstall are my favourite uninstallers
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002297135393
I think very highly of the Revo Group and the freeware they’ve provided. Trying the Pro version would be superb. Thanks Ghacks for the giveaway !!
Well, I´ll definitely like to win one of these! There are some programs that I can´t install sandboxed, and for those I need an excellent uninstaller like Revo´s! Thank you Martin!
This is a program that helped me a great deal in the past. I’d love to run a 64bit version on my system so 64bit programs can be uninstalled with the same ease. So count me in
ive been using the free version for quite a while.. would love to test pro v :)
Besides this review, I have heard this is the best uninstaller. Would love to win a copy.
Looks promising software. Have used few free one of these for uninstalling programs in the past
Throwing my hat into the ring for a license. Thank you.
I use Yourunistaller! pro.
I have once used Revo pro for 30 days (Trial version) and found Revo to be speedier.
Interface is claner and easier to understand.
Yes, please! I use the free version on every PC I own & work on, and I’d love to have the pro version. Thanks
Count me in!!!
as a user of the ‘normal’ version of Revo Uninstaller, I recommend it to all who intend to keep the health of their machines.
Believe that the Pro version is even better :)
Want one of the licenses!!! :)
A better software uninstaller? I’d like to see that! I have used Revo Uninstaller Free for many years and it has performed flawlessly.
Revo’s feature pack leaves the very standard Windows default Add/Remover in its wake. Relying on Default program Uninstalls leaves a lot to be desired,and this is where Revo comes into its own removing safely a very large portion of uninstalled program left overs. Revo’s feature pack is next to none alleviating the need for similar program cleansers.
IMO the very best of its kind. Highly Recommended
I’d like to have this software, as I am now using the built in uninstaller…
Very good program. I’m using a free version.
Count me to this giveaway.
Great review Martin. I´m getting pretty tired of all these cold leftovers from uninstalled & deleted programs in wich i find bloating all over my computer. Count me to this giveaway.
Happy X-mas & so forth from Germany
Awesome! Count me in… I really need this.
I need a license. Please count me in.
Pls count me in!!!!
One of the essential software that keep my PC well organized.
you mean that there is a better version of the regular revo uninstaller?? i’d love to check that out.
I’ve used the standard version, I wouldn’t mind having the pro version around…count me in!
Revo Uninstaller Pro is infact one of the best uninstaller utilities around and complete replacement for windows default Add / Remove Programs control panel. Please, count me in.
Best regards!
Thanks for the opportunity to win a Pro licence!
Because I use the free version for two years now with limited functionality, I would like to win the license so that I can use the pro version with full functionality.
Thanks a lot
I am using Revo Uninstaller now. It’s a great software for uninstalling application.
Please count me in.
This sounds very nice!
Thank you for this Giveaway! :)
Great program! Got rid of left over iTunes junk after a bad install. This program has saved me a lot of work.
Excellent program .Count me please
I’ve used Revo Uninstaller three years ago and it’s still good at totally removing all the files from the program you’re uninstalling.
Revo Uninstaller is an excellent product and I routinely recommend its use when dealing with un-installing software because of it’s ability to clean out the remnant folders and registry keys, allowing far less problematic re-installations.
Care does have to be exercised (especially with the free version) as the strongest registry cleaning can inadvertently remove registry keys for related software.
In general, I recommend to folks to use only the “Moderate” strength in seeking out “debris” to remove.
Overall, a great piece of software!
Don’t know what I’d do without the free version Revo Uninstaller. An upgrade to Pro would be awesome.
I have used the trial and free version and it is the best uninstaller yet. Would love a free copy of the Pro.
Revo Unistaller is an excellent piece of software. I found it very thorough and effective at uninstalling folders/registry items that many uninstallers leave behind. Three things I particularly like in the Pro version are its advanced scanning algorithms, real-time monitoring of system changes during program installations, and its ability to remove remnants of already uninstalled programs.
Many thanks to Ghacks for this great competition. Please include me.
been using the free version for a long time now, the pro would be a great update and would get a work out
I have used the free version and it works very well, but the 64 bit version would be very useful.
It’s more than just a good, safe and accurate uninstaller. This program is about many other useful features
I use the free so the pro would be great,thanks for the chance.
Thanks Martin and VS Revo Group for the giveaway.As long as an Uninstaller is not heavy on resources, they can be used on any OS.
Regards
Thanks for the giveaway. Please include me.
revo pro is wonderful prize for me, Please include me
many thanks
WooHoo!
I’ve been wanting me some of this one!
Happy Hols to ya Martin
I love this program, I have been using the free version for years.
When you first announced your annual Holiday Giveaway, and I saw that one of the programs would be Revo Uninstaller Pro, my eyes lit.
As a long-time user of the free version, I have been very interested in owning the pro version for many reasons – such as the fact that it creates a restore point and also lists all 64-bit programs, which is missing from the free version.
In the past, if I wanted to uninstall a 64-bit program, my only option was through the Windows 7 add/remove function, which leaves a lot of registry files behind and can clutter up the system.
I would be very, very grateful to receive one of the valuable licenses for Revo Uninstaller Pro – and I can guarantee that it would be put to very good use.
I hope you will consider me.
Thanks !
It’s nice to see this as a giveaway. I tested Revo Uninstaller a while back and found it useful but I didn’t keep it on my system. The idea of having a Pro copy is enticing enough to draw me back.
This is one of the greatest piece of uninstall software i ever see… count me in.
Thanks for this giveaway I want to win this licence
never seen uninstaller like revo pro it’s solved many unintalling problems of My pc
Now got the chance to win this licence
I have used the standard version for some time now and it has worked really well. I would like to have the Pro version.
Best program
Thanks for giveaway, Count me in.
another great giveaway…i’ve been using the free version for ages and would like a copy of the pro version just for the fact that one can monitor an installation. presently when i install a program i am dubious about i do a registry backup first but being able to install and uninstall from within revo pro would be great…thanks
Sure would come in handy!
Thank you!
This program falls into a rare category for me. One of the few I could really use, but have never owned!
Count me in too. I’ve been using Revo for the last three years and never had a problem uninstalling any software including apps windows couldn’t uninstall. I also recommend this software to friends and so far I’ve got some converts. Thanks for the give away and good luck to everyone.
Very good software, please count me in, thanks.

I liked the free version when I tried it time ago; now I have a 64-bit machine and the free version is not fully capable for it…
Please count me in for this contest. Thanks.
Revo Uninstaller Free is one of my must-have tools to fix and repair computers. However one difficulty with free version is that it does not support 64-bit Windows Operating Systems. Therefore if an applications is 64-bit, the Revo Uninstaller Free can not uninstall it while the Pro version can do. Therefore I would love to have the PRO version so that I can keep using it on 64-bit systems as well.
Thank you for this wonderful giveaway.
This product is excellent used the free one for years and would love a licence to unlock the full potential…please
Thanks Ghacks and VS Revo Group for the Revo Uninstaller PRO giveaway.I want one license for the Pro version because its supports 64-bit Win OS, removes the junk files left behind by normal uninstall, clearing of registry entries made by the app and finally the Real-time monitoring feature which keeps tracks of all files installed, changed, etc. till the point of deinstallation.
Thanks for the giveaway.
Thanks for the review. Please count me in on this draw. Been in many instances where the installed program did not uninstall correctly and I was basically stuck with the extra’s short of a complete reinstall of the OS. This also made installing updates to a program quite difficult.
Thanks again for the review.
Great software. Would love a license. Thanks
Standard version is my ‘go-to’ uninstaller. Unlike many others I have tried I like to see what is being deleted before I happens. Would like to have pro version to deal with 64bit apps.
this is the greatest uninstaller i can ever imagined
The best uninstaller! Count me for a license!
This is right at the top of my list of ‘wanted’ software, I have used the free version for a long time but it still leaves things behind from time to time something the Pro version should resolve.
I have system Windows 7 64-bit. I use free version Revo Uninstaller, but it pro version only see 64-bit apps. I need Revo Uninstaller Pro and I want to win it. Great contest. Please count me in. :0
Hello!
Revo Uninstaller is really a great and complet software even if
it is better to check what it proposes in advanced mode.
Please count me in !
Thanks for the giveaway !
Revo is an excellent program for uninstalling every program that you no longer need or want.
It scans the Registry for leftover entries and attempts to delete each and every one!
Way better than the standard Add/Remove included with Windows, which hasn’t changed since Win95!!
I am currently using a similar program, namely YourUninstaller Pro, but Revo is just as good.
Count me in for this giveaway, Martin.
Thanks!
Revo Uninstaller Freeware is my favorite uninstaller.
Hi, i’ve used revo almost every time ive had to remove software without a trace, I’d love, no, adore a chance to use the pro version and see what that can do.
Great software! Please include me.
Revo Unistaller is the best…i want to win
Wonderful software! I hope to win :-) Thanks for this contest!
Thanks Martin for the giveaway. I am using revo free, i use to install lots of 3D applications as well as security applications. Some times few nasty applications denied to install at that time i use revo free to uninstall those programs .
I am currently unemployed,so any free software like Revo Uninstaller Pro would be great,
Sincerely,Bob Phelps
Revo Uninstaller is absolutely must-have on my machine. because, I always test the software, before I use. If not, I will remove them. The default Windows uninstaller can not uninstall the program clean up 100%, still has unused files and unused keys. It will make the system more slowly in windows loading files. and, Revo Uninstaller to do a good job in this case. it’s why I really need this software.
thanks to gHacks for the giveaways. and count me in.
Revo Pro would be neat to have. Could use on my Windows 7 64bit.
I have used the free version for many years. Very happy with it.
Your comments about the pro version have made me want the pro. version!
well, what else do we expect from the pro vers., of course it ‘s better than the free vers. more features, more comprehensive, i’ve been using the free vers eversince…. longing to win one license, one thing i can say, Revo Uninstaller is one of the best, really a great giveaway, thanks alot…..
I’ve used the free version on 32-bit OS. Having moved to 64-bit OS I could use the increased functionality of the Pro version.
Count me in and thanks for this and the other giveaways. They are all among the best in their categories!
I am using the free version, will love a pro license.
Great review, been using the free version for years, and is nice knowing what the Pro version does. The extra features are really worth it
the freebie is excellent, would love to get the pro version!
Used Revo Free for years, then went to Pro for my use. Still add Revo Free to PC’s as part of my “free” help and advice to Seniors. Having Pro license to reward a Senior would be a great tool.
Thanks
Może tym razem a chyba już 3 raz startuję w konkursie wygram ten swietny program.Używam wersji darmowej,ale wersja pro to moje marzenie.

Please count me.:((
Thanks for the giveaway. Count me in

What I would like to see is a uninstaller app that can find leftover garbage from prior uninstalled apps.
I’ve been using the free version for ages. A chance at the pro version is definitely worth a comment.
I enjoy your newsletter very much and really like some of your giveaways (though I’ve not won one yet).
Would be nice to have the 64 bit version. So count me in.
I consider an uninstaller to be an essential Windows tool for anyone who installs and uninstalls lots of different programs. What I haven’t seen yet is a high quality uninstaller program that includes it’s own utility for compacting the registry after the program has been uninstalled. A program such as Apple’s QuickTime makes an enormous foot print on the system, especially in the registry. An efficient uninstaller will leave a large number of gaps in the registry files when it removes the unwanted program. Compacting the registry after such an operation is essential to good Windows registry management. There are plenty of free utilities for compacting the registry. But, it would be nice to have it included with the uninstaller program. I would dearly love to have a copy of Revo Pro!
Hi,
It really becomes frustrating when software’s leave some files behind after they are uninstalled or sometimes refuse o uninstall. Revo has been really helpful where others fail. i would definitely like to have this excellent software. :)
Revo is a great program! Thanks for the giveaway!
me too!! thank you.
I have been a longtime fan of the freeware version,a nd the Pro version would be awesome.
Thanks for the opportunity to win this great software.
Wow.. this is the give away I’ve been waiting for.
Thank you for the awsome review, Martin. By now, I am using Your Uninstaller! from a previous giveaway. However I used in the past Revo Pro and I think it is a lot better. I really hope to have the opportunity to enjoy its performances again.
Finger crossed!!
Cheers,
Lello.Siddi.
Thanks Dear Admin for this Giveaway. Thanks to Revo too for Providing the Licenses. For me Revo is the Ultimate Unistaller Tool that works really amazing according to my Experiences.

Thank you and good luck to all:)

I have been using Revo free for a long time and it would be nice to win the Pro version for my 64 bits new computer. Please include me.
Thank you for making this giveaway available.
count me in…..
Oops! My mistake. 8~0
I’ve been using this product for years and really would like the ability to uninstall 64-bit programs
Best in class uninstaller – safe mode is good for newbies to remove registry entries – would love a license – please count me in the draw – will use it to install the software I don’t need anymore clogging my PC!
Revo Pro is great, please count me in.
Thank you.
The trace feature of the Pro version is something that I’ve always felt should be a standard part of any computer OS. It seems that it would almost trivial for the OS to make a log file of EVERY file that a program writes during an install and then be able to truly uninstall ALL traces of the program during an uninstall.
For common files (such as DLL’s etc) that may be used by multiple programs you would need to track all programs that are using that particular file and only delete it if no other program still needs it. This would be fairly easy to do by just having each program place an ‘I’m using this’ flag on the file upon install and remove the flag when they uninstall. If there are no flags present then no one else is using the file and it can be safely deleted.
It creates such a headache and causes problems when lazy programmers doing write good install/uninstallers for their software and leave straggling remnants of their software around after you’ve asked them to uninstall.
Revo Uninstaller sounds like a very handy piece of software!
Revo Uninstaller is the best
I have been using the free version of Revo Uninstaller for years. 2 days ago I downloaded the the full version for 30 day free trial it is absolutely amazing removes everything it is something everybody should have when uninstalling unwanted software.
Revo Uninstaller Pro and Total Uninstall are my favourite uninstallers
I greet
Include me in the giveaway please.
Count me in. Revo is the best uninstaller out with superior options. Thanks for the giveaway.
I love the free version and would really like to try the Pro one.
I’ve tried the free version, looks great and I always use it. I want the full version though. =).
I use the Revo free version and could make use of some of the functions in the Pro version.
I would love to use the pro ver of this program
yes, i would like to pro version,
64 bit capability is only in the PRO version last time I checked and I would love to have this to remove unwanted programs safely. Plus the pro version has more add on inbuilt like cleaners.thanks for the giveaway , I would like to be considered for this contest.
I’ve tested the pro version two years ago, and I came to the conclusion that Revo is the best uninstaller by far. The other test unistallers were: Your Uninstaller, Total Uninstall and Ashampoo Magical Uninstall. Even without the monitoring installation feature, Revo had better results on my PC than the other three unistallers. When I used the monitoring mode the unistallation was perfect. Also the hunter mode is superb. To say the truth even the free version is better than the paid versions of some competitor’s unistallers.
Let’s see if I’m lucky this time and get a free license.
Woooooooooooow! I love the free version & WOULD DOUBLE LOVE TO HAVE THIS PRO!! PLease pick me!!
Thanks again, Martin.
Up ro now I use the stanadrd version, but it would be great to have the pro!
Nice 3. Advent

I’ve used Revo Free for years without a second thought as to what the difference might be. This review makes me think twice about try Pro version.
Great software! Please count me in!
The free version of Revo is great, but I’d love to have the 64-bit support of Pro.
This one is also indispensable to me.
Thanks for this contest !

I try out a lot of different programs so I do a lot of uninstalls. The free program is great. I would love to have the full version.
Thanks. Useful for the temp software
“We have 19 Revo Uninstaller Pro licenses” – 19? That’s a weird number of licenses.. did you use one? :P
Yeah I used one of them for the review. I usually get a separate reviewer’s license but not this time.
a very nice product, I install it all Windoze computers I repair, tune-up or de-virus.
Would love to be able to remove certain files that have trace remains cluttering up my computer. Please send me a free license and I will let you know how it works.
Turn me, please!
My Favourite uninstaller … Tops .. Would live a Pro Licence.
Use the free version and would love to use the Pro version. Thanks!
numero uno :D
Please count me in on the Revo Uninstaller Pro free license giveaway. I’m using the free version and the Pro would be a great plus for me Thanks.
Hey, better than the best- and those uninstall leftovers are so annoying- an ESET registry entry and another security program stopped Kaspersky installing. The first was unhelpfully identified, the second not by Kaspersky.
I need help – Revo’s! Thanks for the chance..
Ho, ho, ho! I hear comes Santa!
Dear Santa, today Ghacks hear one of my favorite programs. Please help me win. If you can not help to win, you give me for Christmas. I use Revo Uninstaller free, but really want to win a Pro.
Thank you very much for your attention to me. All the best!
I have tried the free version which is pretty good and I would now like the opportunity to have the pro version.
I need a good uninstller for Windows 7
This would be a nice addition to my software collection.
Thank you a lot for this giveaway!
Nice post, would be happy to get that license :)
I have used all uninstall programs but keep coming back to Revo.
Seems to be the most reliable when it comes to that pesky business of cleaning the gunge from the registry.
For anyone who hasnt tried it then do! You wont be disappointed.
Now a chance to get my hands on a Pro version. That would make Christmas!
Keeping my fingers crossed!
I have been usinn the free version of this outstanding program for several years. I will appreciate being considered for receiving a free license for the Pro version.
I’m in.
It’s surprising how much junk the standard version finds and removes when some apps are uninstalled.
I have used the free version for years but this makes me want to give the Pro one a spin.

Thanks for giveaway.
Revo Uninstaller is one of the best uninstaller to date. It effectively remove file and registries left by the program after you uninstall it.
Thanks for the giveaway. Count me in.
hi,I think the revo unistaller pro is the best software for uninstalling applications in windows.
I hope a win one license.
thank’s
I could do with one of those. I have some piece of software that I can’t get uninstalled. It doesn’t do any harm, but it annoyes me terribly that it sits there. I truly hope Revo can help me out.
I have used revo uninstaller free for many years and find it a well thought out program. I am planning to move to Windows 7 or 8 in the near future and would love to have the benefit of the pro version features, especially the 64bit compatibility and the installation trace. Thank you for the chance to receive one of your giveaway licenses.
I have been a very long time user of this program. Would really love to have this piece as use this quite often on server and it saved me several times. Even if I don’t get the pro version I would still say a big thank you to the developer :-)
Yes please! I hate it when uninstallers leave bits of data lying around.
Revo Uninstaller is a great piece of software that is a must-have. I’ve been using the free version for a few years and can’t imagine not having on my PC. I would love to have the Pro version. Thank you!
Great software, safe uninstalling with the free version. It uninstalls the program and cleans the registry, For the past three years of using it, I’ve never had a problem in any of the programs I’ve uninstalled with REVO uninstaller.
Hope I get a license for the PRO version.
Thanks,
I am using the free version of this software.
it is a great software. i would like to have the pro version

Thanks
Revo uninstall is an excellent software to remove programs. thanks for one more opportunity
Great program I use all the time.
I love Revo Uninstaller. I’ve been using the free version for years.
Count me in too. I have tried it out in the past and it is a great upgrade to the standard version especially for 64 bit versions.
Thanks for the chance to use this wonderful program.
The free version has served me well for several years. Now I have a new laptop with Windows 7 64bit and the pro version would be ideal. Thank you for your consideration.
Thanks Martin.
Please count me in.
Thanks,
Grr
I usually use Your uninstaller, but I would love to give this one a try.
Revo WAS always ONE of the leaders in Uninstallers but freebie version seems to have dropped in my cred : ( over the last 24 months
these days i resort to Windows 7 Manager that does a reasonable job
would appreciate to try Pro version to recharge my appreciation of this software that was once in my books in the Elite..
“A forced uninstall feature is available to get rid of program remnants that are not listed (anymore) in the installed program list”
I have used Revo free for years and it has been loyal friend
to obtain a PRO copy for FREE would be the ducks nuts
love your work Martin
Love your blog. Read it every day.
I would love to get a copy of this program. I have used the free version for some time now.
Thanks for offering it.
Count me in!
This would be a great tool to properly uninstall programs that don’t come with uninstallers.
Thanks for the opportunity.
Revo portable is my default uninstaller.Would love a pro licence.
I want to win this, count me in.

My favorite among uninstallers for a long time now. Count me in please for the Pro version giveaway.
Thanks
Please include me in the giveaway drawing.
I am another who is happily using the free version but wouldn’t mind an upgrade.
I HAVE USED A TRIAL VERSION OF REVO UNINSTALLER PREVIOUSLY. IT CERTAINLY DOES A BETTER JOB OF UNINSTALLING PROGRAMS AND CLEANING REMAINING TRACES THAN THE WINDOWS NATIVE UNINSTALLER. THE CLEANING IS DEEP, SAFE AND THOROUGH. THE END RESULT IS THAT A COMPUTER GAINS IN STABILITY, EFFICIENCY AND SPEED.
How could I get free license for pro version?
I am using the free version today and it is great
Thanks
Revo uninstaller pro which successfully clean and easily removed the annoying program. The most important thing that I like about it is the realtime monitoring of installation of programs and the force removal of already uninstalled programs .But I think the ‘Hunter Mode’ is the best feature, it’s the easiest way to uninstall a program.
I’ve always used Advanced mode and it complete removes every registry entry and any other leftovers the built-in installers always leave behind and registry cleaning. Revo uninstaller is one of the must have utilities remove for any program. and I like Revo uninstaller pro this very very much because creates backups of removed registry keys, values, files and folders. Before each uninstall of a program it creates a system restore point for maximum protection and safety first. Thank you

Revo Uninstaller Pro is an extended edition of the tools designed to remove unwanted programs installed on your system.
What distinguishes Revo Uninstaller Pro from the built-in “Add / Remove Programs” offered in Windows, it is primarily speed and a few extra tools supporting the application uninstall. Among them you will find the Auto-Start manager system, the function of removing unnecessary files left behind after installation programs, cleaning the browser history, Office and irreversible option to delete files and folders.
Another interesting option offered by Revo Uninstaller Pro is called. hunter mode by which the application is able to recognize itself, when you point to the icon of a program, how to uninstall it. The Pro version offers additional backup feature of their operations and systems support 64-bit.
Sorry, I use Google Translator, U know English poorly.

Sign me up. Cheers
Siempre que pruebo algún programa intento que sea portable. Si no es posible, desinstalo con Revo Uninstaller. He notado que de esta forma winfows no se degrada tanto y es bastante más estable.
Looks interesting the pro version. I’m a regular user of the free version and I can say it’s a great program to wipe programs and it doesn’t mess your Windows. Thanks for this giveaway.
Windows uninstaller does not remove the rubbish carefully. Are remnants in the registry, in folderach.Revo unistaller Pro perfectly suited for removing him programów.Przemawia: 4 steps to uninstall, system restore before you uninstall, clean interface, additional tools such as startup, the Windows and Removing unnecessary files. So please include me in the contest.
Thank you for this contest:) greetings from Polish
