[QUOTE="jv16, post: 1076446, member: 98343"] PS. Version 2.1 of Uninstalr was released yesterday. One of its main improvements is that it will try to detect cases when user is doing something that looks risky, and in such case it will show an additional warning message to the user. I think it's sad that we live in a world where a cup of coffee needs to come with a warning that its content is hot, but it is what it is. Also for the record, there have been thousands of downloads of the version 2.0 already. So far I have seen about ten reports of something being wrong in the way Uninstalr analyses the system. That's a very good accuracy per cent in my opinion. Of course, I'm going to continue to work on improving that. Most of the reported issues have been non-critical, i.e. the software not detecting some installed app for example, or it detects some property of an installed app wrong. Out of all the reports of the analysis being wrong in a way that wrong data would be removed, I have been able to reproduce 0% of the cases and in 100% of the cases, any kind of issues would have been avoided if the user had followed the program's instructions to review the data before proceeding. Also, interestingly, the vast majority of all such reports have not been sent to me directly, but to discussion forums around the internet. Which is very frustrating, because if I don't happen to notice such reports, I obviously cannot do anything to study the reported issue or fix it. [/QUOTE]
