You can also monitor your system with a software like Process Monitor/Regshot/DiffView to get the changes produced in the file system/registry and then write a script (batch, vbs, phyton...) to delete those files/folders/registry keysThe ultimate solution is to create a system image backup your OS before installing any software, that way you can restore without any issues of missed leftover files and registry keys. And the best part is, it's free.
But who wants to do that?You can also monitor your system with a software like Process Monitor/Regshot/DiffView to get the changes produced in the file system/registry and then write a script (batch, vbs, phyton...) to delete those files/folders/registry keys
No offense but I think it's better option than:But who wants to do that?
You save a lot of time and it's also freecreate a system image backup your OS
The people who use Macrium Reflect have no complaints about restoring to an earlier image, or ones who use Rollback software. It enforces the advice about keeping backups as well.No offense but I think it's better option than:
I do not know if free verson of Macrium Reflec or Rollback software like RollBack Rx (for example) have the option to create realtime diferential backup/snapshot and restore/revert only the files that was changed since last backup, which would save a lot of time, since restore a full system image it's a big jobThe people who use Macrium Reflect have no complaints about restoring to an earlier image, or ones who use Rollback software.

I completely agree with you.An alt. solution - If you want to test a non-security software, a VM or Sandbox application is ideal.
CClenaer does not scan for leftovers.Revo Uninstaller is a great tool.. 9.5/10 For me but after using it i would prefer CCleaner.. changed to it after using Revo for a couple of months..in my opinion it has a more friendly UI
Yes, In my opinion this is the only disadvantage of Revo.I don't like Revo. It does a very good job of finding leftovers, but, because I've got hundreds of programs installed, it takes over 2 minutes to finish populating the list of installed programs
I did not know that Comodo Programs Manager monitored the system in real time... And it's also free! I just downloaded it.Comodo Programs Manager, automatically monitors any changes an installer makes, without slowing down the system at all and then can use this information to remove any traces left when uninstalling software.
It does not officially support Windows 8, or 10, but you can get it to run. I've posted about it before.I did not know that Comodo Programs Manager monitored the system in real time...
Macrium: full backup of 30gb system takes around 5mn (i5 & 8Gb RAM)I do not know if we understand each other but when I read "create a system image backup", it came to my mind "create a full system image" which requires a lot of time. Thats where my recomendation comes from.

Thanks I'll give it a tryIt does not officially support Windows 7, or 8, but you can get it to run. I've posted about it before.
If you want to try it, I suggest you use the v2 beta, which was sadly, the last version released.
