Thinking about buying Total Uninstall Professional but first have a few questions.

So let me get this straight Total Uninstall Pro is $39.99 plus $20 every year to stay up to date ? Is it worth it ?

I was going to redo my whole system maybe and install everything monitored by Total Uninstall.
 
Just do a fresh install of Windows. That should be more than enough PLUS its free. :)
 
It is worth every penny. It uninstalled software that did not appear in Add/remove programs or that were very difficult or impossible to remove by other uninstallers. For instance, Newsoftware`s Usb Block. This program is hidden from add/remove programs, it is not system or hidden process but it simply could not be uninstalled by any other uninstaller. Total Uninstall did it, although it was password protected the uninstallation. :)

I will surely buy it when my trial ends.

beware of uninstallation programs that promise to follow every step and undo it totally -- sometimes a different process runs while your program is being installed or right after, and that gets recorded too, and then, when you total-uninstall the program, you will uninstall that process, too.

Does it make you question about the software you installing in the FIRST place? If your C:/ drive is partitioned for Programs only (ie. no Personal folder), then creating a system image to an external medium would be ideal to revert back to.
Even with Total Uninstall, your PC is infected, what then? A backup system image would be ideal an other option to malware removal. Total Uninstall will not undo the changes of ransomware.

that sounds like a great function, I like that.
does anyone out there know how one could do such a thing on their own, or with a cheap/free program?

Geek Uninstaller.Fast effective program removal when others fail.
Reveal Hidden Programs with D-Uninstaller.

Got a problem with anything that one of these tools may miss, then seek it out manually with Everything Search Engine - Use that in conjunction with Unlocker. If you do use unlocker, it is bundled with third party apps, pay attention when installing it. Also, registrar registry manager, to seek and destroy and remants of the program in the registry, a cleaning with CCleaners registry cleaner after program uninstall is also a viable option.

Excellent remark and wise also. Thanks Huracan, you`re perfectly right but in my case I installed a legitimate bought software called Usb Block to password protect my usb drives from unauthorized access. Then, I decided to uninstall it and use another program called Stop Usb by Everstrike, one of my favorite security company. Being a security product the only way to uninstall it is through its own password protected uninstaller but it leaves traces on your PC so my Revo and Uninstall Tool and others (Reg Organiser uninstall feature, Your Uninstaller) simply cannot find it in my PC, even with the hunter mode enabled could not be uninstalled and then, guess what, my romanian soft Total Uninstall (gj Gavrila Martau) did it and removed it completely, services, dll, registry, files, everything and that`s why I decided suddenly that I must have it. :p

One can always perform backups and restore system but it is simplier (huh! but not safer) :rolleyes: with uninstallers. With good quality ones. I took into consideration the advice to be very careful when monitoring new installations. Excellent community here, very skilled and helpful. I simply love MalwareTips as it creates addiction for me with my daily/hourly visit. :)

Thank you all,
Hugs,
Ana F.
