Last fall, I purchased a Sandisk Cruzer 8GB flash drive to enable me to make a quick backup of files stored on my primary work computer. I do have a more rigorous backup plan for my primary workstation, but I also periodically travel, and I like to have access to my files. The Sandisk Cruzer was the right size and the right price, so I bought it. The drive came with U3 “Smart software” installed, along with a few other files when I first plugged it into my computer.

If you’ve just purchased a new computer, you’ll probably note that it comes with a lot of applications pre-loaded onto your computer. You may or may not want these applications; in many cases, the demo version works for a limited period of time – perhaps 30 or even 90 days. Once the demo period is expired, the application may stop working, or worse, it may generate pop-up messages periodically telling you that your free usage period is finished. Acquiring this software was easy, since it came pre-loaded on the computer you purchased. Removing software may not be as easy, however.

Software Uninstallers Don’t Always Work

Getting rid of programs may be more difficult than it seems. Programs sometimes have a hidden file structure that will prevent you from removing software. These hidden file structures may make it seem as though the software re-installs itself every time you reboot. This can be exasperating because no matter what you do, the software just seems to re-appear again and again and again.

That’s why I use Perfect Uninstaller to remove unwanted software from a computer. Perfect Uninstaller installs easily and offers a simple software removal interface. If a file is on your computer, Perfect Uninstaller will show it in its control pane. You select the application you want removed and Perfect Uninstaller goes to work. It continues to work until your file is gone, gone, gone.

Perfect Uninstaller finds all of the files associated with an application, hidden or not. It also finds all of the registry entries, libraries and support files associated with the application. Everything is targeted for removal and everything goes. Perfect Uninstaller also backs up the registry before it starts making changes, so you can restore a previous version of the registry if something isn’t working right after you’ve removed a piece of software.

Perfect Uninstaller works hard to find and remove the unwanted software components on your computer, as well as the leftovers that can cause persistent error messages and other problems like crashes. With Perfect Uninstaller, you can keep your system clean. You can also be sure that your system will be free of the software you didn’t ask for, don’t use and don’t want.

For those special cases, (and there are a few), where Perfect Uninstaller doesn’t get everything on the first pass, there is a built-in option called Force Uninstall. Force Uninstall doesn’t take “No” for an answer, and works until ever trace of the unwanted software is gone.

Perfect Uninstaller is reliable, accurate, easy-to-use, fast and complete. Nothing is left to chance and nothing is left behind.
