[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 1036317, member: 31436"] They work differently. JV16 just runs an apps uninstaller and then scans for leftovers. Total Uninstall creates snapshots when installing apps, so that it was a record of every file and registry key that is created. Then when you uninstall and app, for most apps it just uses this data to remove the created files and registry keys without even running the apps uninstaller. For some apps, such as security software, it will run the apps own uninstaller first. In both case, it will run a scan for leftovers afterwards, which will sometimes find files and registry keys that the app created after it was installed. [/QUOTE]
