[QUOTE="conceptualclarity, post: 801864, member: 11916"] I use all three. All three are good. In general, Revo finds the most traces. None are reliable for removing software drivers that have been slipped into the system32 folder. For that reason it is good to run a monitored installation of a new program or at least check system32 to see if it has new residents. If a driver has been put into system32 and autostarts you may have big trouble if you delete it without first using a registry scanner/editor to remove the registry entries tying it to system32. In many, many uninstalls I don't believe I've ever seen an uninstaller program offer me those system32 driver registry entries for removal. There is another good free uninstaller by HiBit that tends to outdo Geek and IObit in finding traces. [/QUOTE]
