This post serves as an installment from my previous article entitled, “Tips in finding a better uninstaller program“. As tackled from the latter, there are add-on features that make up a merchantable and an invaluable uninstaller program. While the use of built-in uninstaller within programs are a bit trivial, in this post, you will certainly know why a third-party uninstaller software is a must use.

Going back to uninstaller merchantability, a logger is necessary to watches any significant change that is made to the system during installation. Thereby, a system restore point is created prior to uninstalltion which determine change logs. The intangible part of third-party uninstallers is the Uninstaller itself which is used to reverse changes in the log. In this way, the applications can be uninstalled because all changes that were made at the time of installation are reversed.

Effective uninstallers include an Analyzer which is used to uninstall programs of which installation is not logged by the uninstaller. It analyzes the program and finds all related files and registry entries and deletes it should the user decided to uninstall the program.

Some uninstallers include a Watcher. A Watcher determines if there are running programs for installation programs such as SETUP.EXE, INSTALL.EXE, etc. It normally offers to start the logger when such programs are detected.

The add-ons are additional features that makes an uninstaller program merchantable and invaluable. These are certain applications that comes along with the software so you don’t have to get individual softwares to do certain tasks.

It’s rarely that you can find an uninstaller program with a built-in Autorun Manager, so this means that you can easily manage programs automatically running on Windows startup. Enabling or disabling certain programs is just a breeze.

Quick one click access to certain Windows Tools. This is definitely a one-of-a-kind. 

A Junk Files Cleaner is definitely a must have as this cleans up the hard drive from unnecessary files that may slow down you PC and free up disk space relatively.

A Browser Cleaner, Microsoft Office Cleaner, and a Windows Cleaner are simply an add-on worth having that comes along with a great uninstaller program.

One of the nifty features that I admire is getting an Evidence Remover along side the uninstaller I use regularly for years. Emptying the Recycle Bin doesn’t physically erase files and folders deleted because they are just left over in your hard drive. Eats up hard disk space and can easily be recovered by powerful data recovery softwares. Having this Evidence Remover deletes the data from your hard drive impossible enough to recover. I’ve tried this many times that even a hundred-dollar data recovery tool isn’t able to do its job.

One more thing is having an Unrecoverable Delete option within the program which makes deleting files securely and makes your disk space more spacious than ever. Like the former add-on, it deletes the files right from the hard disk making it unrecoverable.

So, do you want a slice of this piece of cake? You can actually get it from www.revouninstaller.com and the best part…it’s free.
