May 29, 2010If you’re looking for free alternatives, you’ve come to the right place, Roy. Just run a search on our site for ‘uninstallers’ and you’ll find all kinds of interesting articles about different programs. Here you go:

Based on what I hear online these days, the uninstaller tools from Revo and IObit are the best ones.

August 4, 2010The one I prefer because of the advanced options is “MyUninstaller” by Nirsoft. The best feature it has is to export the list with the uninstall paths to a txt or html file, which you can use to write scripts to uninstall “junk” or useless software that a technician working on many computers sees regularly.
My second choice would be “PC Decrapifier”, which automatically removes common factory pre-installed junk, then lets you check off the remaining software manually then just runs the uninstallers one after another.
I would also like to mention “APPRemover” by OPSWAT, which is only for removing outdated security products (or horrible ones like Norton or McAfee) to make way for a new one. You can remove most of them automatically and simultaneously with a few clicks
