I don't think I've tried it, maybe years ago. But that doesn't sound good. So var no issues with Hibit.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 findsmalwaretips.com
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.
I do use Hibit and tried Neat Download Manager (NDM) for some time. But NDM downloads non- user initiated stuff on its own in the background , which just seems weird to me. Though NDM gives good speed but I tend to be more inclined nowadays towards FOSS tools as JDownloader or better as paid IDM than proprietary software on my PC.
I use Total Uninstall. But it's not cheap. You get updates to the version you purchased for a limited time, but the license does not expire. To use major new releases, you need to buy another license.
The last time I used it, which was some time ago, it did a poor job of finding leftovers.
Thank you, and between free uninstallers, what do you recommend?

I've been using NDM for a long time and even sent it to Bitdefender Kaspersky and ESET labs, and all of them sent a clean report. Trendmicro says NDM is spyware but it's a false positive like all of the false positives Trendmicro has. I did not encounter a thing that looked suspicious.
Nice to see that it recently turned freeware. I'll do a test once I have free time.
Thanks for the detailed comparison. I have a question about the "Leftover files cleaning" result for both HiBit and Revo uninstallers: is this result by using the default or advanced scan mode?
