[QUOTE="conceptualclarity, post: 872975, member: 11916"] I find that Revo catches the most files and registry entries. IObit is also very good as is the newer HiBit. When I do an uninstall I actually run several programs simultaneously, throwing in Geek and Soft Organizer as well. I find that it doesn't cause a problem to do that except it makes it slower. You do have to watch out for false positives. I don't find them to be real common, but I haven't seen a program that never has them. I don't find uninstaller programs be good at removing drivers. So that makes a good argument for monitoring your installations. It is very foolish not to monitor the installation of a security program in particular. The very least you should do with other programs is check to see if there's anything new in System32 and make a note of it. I've learned from painful experience not to manually remove a driver without first running my registry searchers to find and remove its associated registry entries. [/QUOTE]
