[QUOTE="Morro, post: 1053022, member: 1765"] [B][I][U]Bad Uninstalr, Bad.[/U][/I][/B] :cautious: [USER=98343]@jv16[/USER] Yesterday early in the evening I installed the Vivaldi Browser, because I wanted to see if it could replace Google Chrome as my backup browser. (And it can in my opinion.) After having it installed complete with a few extensions, and trying Vivaldi out for a while, I decided to uninstall Google Chrome. So I started Uninstalr and searched for "Google Chrome", and then checked the box next to it. It was the only thing showing, so no other software, and I then clicked the uninstall button. While it was busy removing Chrome I also suddenly saw that Uninstalr was also removing my Razer Central and NVidia software!? (And who knows, maybe more!) I had to use my backup image to be certain that everything was in perfect order again. A uninstall program should only remove the program that it is asked to remove, not other software that has nothing to do with Google Chrome!! (I tried it a second time and the result was the same.) Uninstalr has potential, I think, but this is a big NOPE for me at this moment. I have removed Uninstalr, and maybe I will give it a try in the future after it has matured more. Sorry for this negative post, but this really surprised me yesterday? :eek: [/QUOTE]
