[QUOTE="mlnevese, post: 1040890, member: 36157"] What most vendor uninstallers do is make sure the most common files and folders are eliminated, drivers are unregistered, and the OS TCP stack is restored to working order, except for ESET uninstaller that may damage the OS network subsystem, including deleting network drivers as I've pointed out in another thread recently. Manually searching for leftovers is a good idea, using an uninstaller tool may cause some damage to your OS, even if the install was monitored, but normally what is left after a vendor uninstall won't cause any problems in the OS, just waste space.
