Tom AZ Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Has anyone had any experience with Perfect Uninstaller? This appears to be a commercial program with a free demo/download. I have a couple nasty little apps that I'd like to get rid of, but they won't uninstall (I no longer have the installer -- or access to the install programs/disks). This app looks like it has a "force" uninstall, but I don't know how effective it is -- or if it would accomplish what I need to have done. I also thought that Revo Uninstaller had a "force" uninstall, but I can't seem to find it anywhere in the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icedrake Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Did you try using the Hunter Mode of Revo Uninstaller? I think that might be the force uninstall you're talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DennisD Posted April 11, 2009 Moderators Share Posted April 11, 2009 Have you tried "Windows Installer Clean Up" utility Tom? Depends what these little pains in the backside were installed with of course, but once installed WIC gives you a list of what you have that it can remove.

Corona Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 This is what I get when I right click on a program within Revo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DennisD Posted April 12, 2009 Moderators Share Posted April 12, 2009 The "force uninstall" right click menu item is in some way selective. To be honest, I can't find anything in the home page "features" list referring to this, and I've only activated it by trying it on all the programs it lists. Perfect Disk activates it, and would you believe, good old iTunes (a bit sarcasm there). You live and learn, and I've just learned about this.

I knew it was there, but I was getting the same results Corona was getting. For the life of me, I can't figure out why it would be "selective." Oh well . . . the marvels of technology .
