revo1 A better add remove program for free. (Windows Download)Freeware application Revo Uninstaller has both an installed version and a portable version for your thumb drives. We used the newest version release on June 17th 2008.

So I hear you all asking : “what does Revo do? Why is it better than the built in Windows Uninstaller?”

If you’ve ever had a piece of malware install itself on your machine, you can probably already answer that question. I hate malware and I hate spyware. Not because it takes time to undo what they have done, or the possible security issues. Well actually yeah I do hate those as well but I am talking about the virtual hoops these companies go through to make sure you CAN’T uninstall or disable their crap-ware.

When you first fire up Revo you will see something similar to this with your icons displayed:

Using Revo in “Hunter” mode is just plain awesome. Hit the hunter button and off you go. You will see a Sniper’s Cross Hair in the upper right hand corner of your screen just drag this to any Icon or open window to see what it really is.

Check it out I hit my Hunter Button and dragged it to my system tray. Amazed as i moused over icons and it told me what they were and where they were running out of. Wow.

Now I stopped on my VNC Viewer as you can see below.

After I release the mouse i get this window:

How cool is this?

And it also has the normal Add/Remove Programs beat on speed, as the list populates and displays SO MUCH faster than your Windows Control Panel. How about some more icing on the cake… After Revo uninstalls something – unleash it and let it track down and find any left over registry keys or fragments.

I am really in awe with this free application and probably have not scratched the surface of it’s true power…

Got any other neat things you use Revo Uninstaller for? Do you have a different favorite application for doing the same thing?

Let us know… In the comments!
