[QUOTE="jackuars, post: 1052687, member: 24462"] HiBit supports batch uninstallation, but it does not support complete silent uninstallation. I would prefer batch uninstallation over silent uninstallation because in the latter, the extra prompts from running the program's uninstaller would select the default option, which is generally not the best choice. For example, in the demo video of HiBit on IDM, a pop-up appeared asking if you wanted to perform a default uninstall or a full uninstall. When you selected the default uninstall, it defeated the purpose of the test and pop-up, which was to see how many leftovers remained behind, when you wanted to completely remove the program. But I do see the advantages of having silent uninstallation, for improving the overall user experience. Also its worth noting that you used another product created by you, WinFindr, to check for leftover files/folders and registry keys after uninstallation. This may bias the overall purpose of these tests. You could easily optimize Uninstalr with the results of WinFindr. All things considered, since it's a completely free product, it's a shiny new toy for me. [/QUOTE]
