Battle Which Free Uninstaller: IObit vs Geek vs Revo?

[Nautilus]

I have used revo for years and did not ever had any problems with it , same goes for hibit. iobit is not as thorough as these two. nowadays is use uninstalr wich is part of the jv16 powertools suite i own. its slower than the rest of the uninstallers , but it does a descent job

I have a lot of false positives with Revo advanced scan that it shows registry entries related to other software.

Be Careful With Third Party Uninstallers

Trying to uninstall Auslogics Registry Cleaner using Revo Uninstaller Advanced Mode and this is what it finds

malwaretips.com

I don't think I've tried it, maybe years ago. But that doesn't sound good. So var no issues with Hibit.

I noticed that Revo using the advanced scan can break other software when removing less known software, I'm now using HiBit, no issues so far.

IOBiT is thorough now and safe too, but I don't like its ads and that it's running in the background, and found that it do too many connections in the background, I don't know what kind of data is sends, but it's larger than being just checking for updates.

HiBit has issues with false positives too. I can't comment on how it compares with Revo in terms of false positives, as I don't use Revo anymore. But, no matter what uninstaller you use, it's a very good idea to check what they want to remove before letting them delete anything.

These issues make me sometimes thinking to rely on O&O AppBuster or use BCUninstaller instead of all other uninstallers.
