[QUOTE="Antig, post: 964829, member: 91131"] I agree it's usually excellent, matter of fact I bought a couple of years ago their product and used it without hassles. By the way, a year ago license expired and they demanded payment for another year. I was uncertain and hesitated for three weeks,by the end of which they had halved the subscription price two or three times. I said to myself: why not immediately 8 € instead of 25 or 30 €? I was impressed by the discount and renewed .Then their various 'helpers' like the software updater began telling me i had to update when i had already done it the day before and had been declared 'updated' by them on countless occasions. Removal of fragmented or remnants of software also misfired likewise. The final curtain came when I could not find anymore my Thunderbird mail program, nothing of it existed in my Windows10 laptop,not even the Registry carried a single item in it. I did not make any mistake,be assured. Iobit uninstaller had accomplished what CCleaner never did in 20 years of use and also Privazer never dreamed of: the hidden intent of AI of deciding by itself what to uninstall! Luckily I always have an Aomei image ready and didnt fall into gloomy moods,but I had no other option than go back to the less trendy but more secure Revo. Just my two cents of experience. antig [/QUOTE]
