HiBit Uninstaller beats them all, has 0 false positives, junk files cleaner, and freeI'm a long time Revo Pro user but more recently I have been using HiBit regularly. I steer clear of Iobit products, I can't always control them how I want to.
This is what I'm looking for, "0 false positives", but did IObit Uninstaller make false positive for you?HiBit Uninstaller beats them all, has 0 false positives, junk files cleaner, and free
Didn't use IOBit, I did use Revo Uninstaller Pro and Total Uninstall and GeekUninstaller before but with them they have false positives here and there so you have to be really careful and it takes a lot of time to go through each entry when there are many left overs. With HiBit Uninstaller, I have tested it extensively and now I can just blindly hit clean all knowing it will work 100% without causing any issues every time. Also, despite it being free, the developer is very friendly and will help if there is any doubt you have regarding any entry, he will ask you take a screenshot of the leftovers and tell you if they're actual FPs or not.This is what I'm looking for, "0 false positives", but did IObit Uninstaller make false positive for you?
Me, too, had false positives with both Revo Uninstaller and GeekUninstaller, and they don't get frequent updates to fix such issues (I talk about the free versions here). Do you use the advanced scan with HiBit Uninstaller or the regular scan? I have it installed, but I use its other tools more than the uninstaller feature.Didn't use IOBit, I did use Revo Uninstaller Pro and Total Uninstall and GeekUninstaller before but with them they have false positives here and there so you have to be really careful and it takes a lot of time to go through each entry when there are many left overs.

I used to use HiBit but switched to Bulk Crap Uninstaller after Hibit failed in an uninstallation while BCU did its job without any problems.HiBit Uninstaller beats them all, has 0 false positives, junk files cleaner, and free
I had this problem with HiBit too, does Bulk Crap Uninstaller find leftovers more than other uninstallers? Last time I test it, it was mostly find prefetch files only.I used to use HiBit but switched to Bulk Crap Uninstaller after Hibit failed in an uninstallation while BCU did its job without any problems.
Yesterday, I tried to uninstall Wise Care 356 using HiBit and IObit found 7 registry entries missed from HiBit.I like Hibit Uninstaller. It was the only uninstaller the could totally remove Mcaffee Total Security. Even Mcaffee's uninstall tool, it couldn't remove it.
Nope, unless Bulk has improved a lot since the last time I tested it. It's close though.I had this problem with HiBit too, does Bulk Crap Uninstaller find leftovers more than other uninstallers?
It's common that entries are missed between uninstallers. What matters more is which one removes more associated entries and has lesser false positives.Yesterday, I tried to uninstall Wise Care 356 using HiBit and IObit found 7 registry entries missed from HiBit.
By your experience, which one has the least false positives among all uninstallers?What matters more is which one removes more associated entries and has lesser false positives.
Obviously the one that doesn't perform any advanced scans i.e. Windows uninstaller.By your experience, which one has the least false positives among all uninstallers?
I already installed HiBit, but I use its tools not its uninstaller , Revo does false positives for me in the past (yes I used the advanced installation selection).Obviously the one that doesn't perform any advanced scans i.e. Windows uninstaller.
What you really need is an uninstaller that strikes the right balance between thoroughly removing unwanted entries and minimizing false positives.
In my experience, HiBit is a top contender in this regard, especially since the last 1 or 2 years with regular updates. Revo Uninstaller is second, and both are excellent options when considering free uninstallers.
What makes HiBit far more useful that Revo is it's toolset, as it is not just an uninstaller.

I've been fortunate enough to not encounter any issues with registry cleaners since my Windows 7 days. It's essential to note that individual experiences may differ, and what works for one person may not work for another.Out of topic, is there a safe registry cleaner you recommend?
