Programs Don't Stay Around When Perfect Uninstaller Is On Duty

Remove Your Data Safely

Few things are more aggravating than wanting to get rid of a piece of software that simply won’t go. The Add/Remove Programs tool doesn’t always work properly because it relies on other files in the file system to tell it what was done and what needs to be undone. When these files are removed, or become damaged, the Add/Remove Programs tool is lost.

Perfect Uninstaller doesn’t rely exclusively on log files to determine which files and program components are related and should be removed when a particular application is removed. Perfect Uninstaller goes about its work quickly and quietly. Before it makes any changes, Perfect Uninstaller backs up the system registry, so no important registry states are lost.

Perfect Uninstaller works hard to find all program components and remove them. You won’t find any forgotten files or program fragments, and you won’t get those annoying error messages that can crop up when you’ve incorrectly removed a program, or when a registry entry gets left behind.

Perfect Uninstaller doesn’t try to decide whether a program should be saved or removed. Simply install the software and locate the target in the easy-to-use interface. When your target application has been identified, click OK and off you go.

Perfect Uninstaller sees everything that’s on your hard disk. You won’t find any files that are “greyed out” or otherwise unaccessible. If it’s on your hard disk, Perfect Uninstaller can get to it and get rid of it.

This is a great way to ensure that malware programs like adware and toolbars get removed. Perfect Uninstaller works until the program is gone. If for some reason, Perfect Uninstaller doesn’t get everything on the first pass, Perfect Uninstaller has a Force Uninstall option, which provides brutal removal of the files you don’t want. No questions, no hesitation, just removal. Ultimately, that’s what you want, right?

Don’t put up with old software that you no longer want, and don’t settle for an Add/Remove Programs tool that doesn’t get everything every time. If you have old software hanging around on your computer and you want it gone, use Perfect Uninstaller to clean up your disk.

Software Removal Problems? Try Perfect Uninstaller

Not All Uninstallers Are Alike

Microsoft has included the Add/Remove Programs tool with its operating system. With the Add/Remove Programs tool, in theory, you should be able to remove whatever applications you installed on your computer. The breakdown in this theory occurs regularly, though. Taking a program off of your computer can be far more difficult than putting it on.

A lot can happen to software between the time it is installed and the time it’s removed. Files can become corrupted, damaged, or deleted, making software removal seemingly impossible. Other software packages don’t come with an uninstaller, and the Add/Remove Programs tool may not work correctly on them. Finally, some software programs (not very nice ones… like viruses and adware) may deliberately evade removal attempts. Getting rid of these programs and cleaning up the mess they leave behind can be time-consuming and frustrating. Then there are the programs that don’t fall into any of these categories, but may be considered a part of the operating system, and are “ineligible” for removal.

That’s why computer users need tools that are more powerful than the Add/Remove Programs tool. Users need programs that will remove software, regardless of what condition it’s in, or what its function is with regard to the operating system, or what other programs that may have been bundled together in a suite. Users also need tools that can remove stubborn, unwanted or dangerous software from their computers permanently.

Perfect Uninstaller works in all of these cases to remove the software you no longer want. Perfect Uninstaller does more than just remove the software; it removes all traces of the software, including support files that may have been installed at the same time. Perfect Uninstaller works hard to locate and remove the software you no longer want without damaging other software that remains on your computer.

Perfect Uninstaller is easy to install and simple to use. The user interface is designed for one-click use. Simply locate the software you want removed and press one button. Perfect Uninstaller begins work immediately on your software removal. Unlike some uninstallers, Perfect Uninstaller doesn’t forget about the registry entries, data files and libraries a software program may have installed.

Perfect Uninstaller works simply and reliably every time, which is why I have no problem recommending it.

Removing Trial Software From A New Computer

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.

What Might Cause Add/Remove Programs Tool To Work Incorrectly?

What Happens When This Doesn’t Happen?

Somewhere along the line, reality will intrude on this scene and the Add/Remove Programs tool won’t work properly. Either it doesn’t “see” the program you want to remove, or it doesn’t work at all. What’s going on here?

Some programs, particularly anti-virus programs, can affect the way the Add/Remove Programs tool works. In some cases, the A/V software can prevent the Add/Remove Programs tool from working altogether. The Add/Remove Programs tool may display a “blank” list of programs or may labor fruitlessly to come up with a list of installed programs on the computer.

Anti-virus interactions should always be considered when a “management” program of some type isn’t working properly. A/V programs have a habit of not making nice with other programs that have a lot of “authority” such as the Add/Remove Programs tool. Some clever malware authors use system components to add, remove or hide programs, so A/V software tends to get very suspicious of these kinds of operations.

If you’re experiencing a problem with a seemingly dead Add/Remove Programs tool, you can quickly check this out by disabling your A/V software (temporarily, of course) and re-starting your computer. If your Add/Remove Programs tool comes up dandy, then you know that the A/V software is exerting some kind of additional control over the Add/Remove Programs tool. You can either disable the A/V when you need to install or uninstall programs, or you can try a third-party software removal tool like Perfect Uninstaller.

Perfect Uninstaller works hard to get all of the unwanted programs off of your computer, quickly and permanently. Perfect Uninstaller doesn’t take “no” for an answer, so you can be sure that you have the programs you want on your computer, and the programs you don’t want are gone for good. You don’t have to put up with a lot of trash on your computer. With Perfect Uninstaller, you can remove the garbage you don’t want and it’s gone for good!

Perfect Uninstaller Is Hard To Improve

Unbeatable Results Every Time

The Add/Remove Programs tool has some limitations that make it less than ideal when it comes to software removal. First, it doesn’t “see” every application in the file tree. Perfect Uninstaller sees everything – applications, files, libraries and anything else that’s listed in your file system. The Add/Remove Programs tool doesn’t always remove the files it does see. “Components” like Web browsers and chat clients that were “designed” to work with the operating system aren’t easily removed. Except when you use Perfect Uninstaller.

Perfect Uninstaller removes whatever you tell it to remove, without question and without hesitation. Perfect Uninstaller works to get every trace of the applications you no longer want. It’s also a great tool to help clean up after a viral infection has hit your file system.

Perfect Uninstaller doesn’t give up. When an application doesn’t go peacefully on the first attempt, Perfect Uninstaller offers a built-in hammer known as Force Uninstall, which forcibly removes the program from your hard disk. Force Uninstall works until all of the offending files have been removed from your computer. It won’t quit working until every scrap of the program has been removed from the computer.

Don’t think that Perfect Uninstaller will forget about your registry either because it won’t. Perfect Uninstaller removes registry entries that are associated with the files you want to remove, so nothing … not one thing… is left behind. Perfect Uninstaller really is the perfect uninstaller.

Installation is very easy. Simply download the program and run the Setup.exe file. Perfect Uninstaller installs itself and is ready to go in an instant. You’ll find Perfect Uninstaller is easy to understand and use. Open the program, select the file or files you want removed from the interface and press the button. Perfect Uninstaller begins to work immediately and doesn’t stop until all traces of your unwanted software are gone.

When you work with PCs regularly, like I do, you learn quickly that there are a few indispensable tools you need. One of my “indispensables” is Perfect Uninstaller.

Software Removal Perfection Comes In Many Different Forms

Many different things can cause software removal failure. A corrupted program component can throw off the Add/Remove Programs tool. A missing or damaged install log can eliminate valuable clues. Some software simply doesn’t want to be removed.

In the absence of time to understand the problem, my goal is to fix the problem. For stubborn software removal, or software removal failure, I always turn to Perfect Uninstaller because I’ve found it to be the ideal software removal tool.

Perfect Uninstaller sees what the Add/Remove Programs tool doesn’t see and removes what other third-party software removal tools don’t remove. With Perfect Uninstaller, nothing gets left behind. All program files are gone, all registry entries are gone, all program components like libraries are gone. And gone means gone for good.

Perfect Uninstaller also has the advantage of being easy to understand and easy to use. You don’t have to do anything other than install it and identify the software you want removed. Perfect Uninstaller doesn’t ask a bunch of questions or fail when it comes to removing programs. For the few programs that aren’t removable with the standard Perfect Uninstaller remover, there’s Force Uninstall.

Force Uninstall works. I don’t know how else to put it. Force Uninstall simply removes all of the software that other removers won’t or can’t touch. Gone is gone, and gone is good with Perfect Uninstaller. That’s why I use it myself and I recommend it for use with any Windows PC.

Perfect Uninstaller will provide access to all files on the computer. Choose the offending program from a list, a group of icons or by the program details. Once you’ve identified the program(s) you want removed, press the button and that’s it.

Perfect Uninstaller goes after the old, empty or corrupted registry entries, too. Nothing, and I mean nothing, gets left behind. More than 1,000,000 downloads of Perfect Uninstaller means that the program works like it says. It’s also easy to use … perfect for the novice user.

What Part of GO AWAY! Doesn't This Software Understand?

Say Goodbye To Unwanted Software

Software removal shouldn’t be complicated. The removal tool should identify all components of a software program and eliminate them in whatever order is required to make the program go away. The perfect software removal tool would also clean up the registry file and remove all other traces of the program.

If only the built-in Add/Remove Programs tool worked like this. There are a lot of things that can come between your software and your Add/Remove Programs tool. These things may prevent your computer from being able to remove unwanted software. Simply deleting the program files isn’t an option because few Windows programs are self-contained.

When a program is added, it might also add or change libraries and other files, make entries into the registry and store various components all over the operating system. Simply removing the application file won’t get rid of the problem, and worse, this approach is likely to cause more problems when the computer discovers that certain program components are missing.

How do you get rid of a program you no longer want when the Windows interface won’t cooperate? I always recommend using a third-party installer. Don’t misunderstand: I use the Add/Remove programs tool just like everyone else does. But I also use a third-party removal tool to get the software that doesn’t like to be gotten, or that has been damaged and is no longer “visible” to the Add/Remove programs tool.

The Add/Remove Programs tool also has a certain “built-in bias” about some software, particularly that which comes from its own maker. Getting rid of software that has been “included” with the OS can be tough, if not downright impossible using the tools on hand.

Perfect Uninstaller (my weapon of choice) is really good at removing the software that the Add/Remove Programs tool won’t or can’t touch. It also has no built-in bias toward software programs. If you want it gone, Perfect Uninstaller makes it go away.

It also cleans up the registry so you won’t get stuck with leftovers and orphans from the software you’ve taken out. Perfect Uninstaller is good for removing stubborn programs, too. (Think adware and malware.)

Perfect Uninstaller is my choice because it’s been downloaded and used more than 1,000,000 times. That’s a pretty good recommendation in my book!

Perfect Uninstaller Works!

Perfect Uninstaller Will Remove The Most Stubborn Software

Most software that won’t allow itself to be removed isn’t being purposely tough. Don’t get me wrong; there are some software packages that simply don’t know when they’ve worn out their welcome, but most unwanted guests are simply hanging around because they’ve become corrupted or damaged and can’t cooperate with the Add/Remove programs tool.

In addition, there’s a slew of badly written software out there that just doesn’t avail itself of the whole Add/Remove Programs routine. That doesn’t mean that you have to put up with software you don’t want or can’t get rid of. You certainly don’t have to hand-delete files. This isn’t really recommended anyway since this approach simply doesn’t get all the files and program components off your computer. Deleting the application files can cause more problems than the software itself.

Some people advise that you re-install the unwanted software to repair the damaged components and then uninstall the package. That may work if you don’t mind making some extra tasks for yourself in the process.

When you simply want some software gone, I recommend Perfect Uninstaller. Perfect Uninstaller gives you all the tools you need to remove the software you don’t want. Software, even corrupted or badly written software, can’t hide from Perfect Uninstaller.

The Perfect Uninstaller interface couldn’t be simpler to use, either. Install the software and run it. You’ll be presented with a list of all of your applications. Simply check the ones you want removed and that’s it. They’re gone.

Now, there are some stubborn apps that won’t go away using the standard Perfect Uninstaller remover. That’s why Perfect Uninstaller includes Force Uninstall. Force Uninstall removes (by force) the most stubborn applications, including those that are nominally identified as part of the operating system. That would include things like MSN Messenger and other components you may not want. Force Uninstall gets rid of these applications every single time. Identify the application you want removed and it’s gone, just like that. Perfect Uninstaller is considered one of the best third-party software removal tools because it works quickly, cleanly and completely. Every time.

Microsoft's Malicious Software Removal Tool

Software Removal Made Easy

The best approach to protecting your computer against malicious software is by preventing infections in the first place. For any number of reasons, that isn’t always possible, but your first goal should always be to avoid infection in the first place. If the worst happens, and your computer becomes infected, a competent antivirus program should be used to remove software deemed malicious or dangerous. This includes viruses, spyware and malware, but it also includes “gray area” software like root kits. Some technicians argue that there’s a legitimate reason for some kinds of software that permit remote control of the desktop, but the arguments in favor of this are few and far between.

Anti-virus software should be your first choice in removing malware because the software is specifically programmed to locate and remove all malware components. Often, simply deleting the malware program files is not enough to either rid the computer of the malware or repair the damage to the computer.

Occasionally, you’ll come across software that defies removal for other reasons. These programs may be deliberately stubborn or they could be damaged in some way that prevents the built in removal tools from working. The Malicious Software Removal tool may not recognize these programs because they don’t fit the built-in malware definitions, meaning they’re not technically “malicious.”

Perfect Uninstaller is a good third-party software removal tool because it will absolutely remove any software you have installed on your computer. In addition, Perfect Uninstaller will remove registry entries that belong to the software it has removed. It’s an excellent tool to keep in your computer maintenance “toolkit.” It’s been downloaded more than a million times by PC users who want something that works more reliably than the built in Add/Remove programs tool. Perfect Uninstaller works well with your other maintenance software packages to keep your computer free from unwanted software and to make sure a program is gone-for-good!

Perfect Uninstaller The Perfect Addition To Your Software Toolkit

Removing Software Should Be Easy

Removing software from a computer should be easy. Should be. The Add/Remove programs utility should work. Should work. Sometimes it doesn’t. When the Add/Remove programs utility is the only tool you have to get rid of software and it doesn’t work, then you’re stuck, right?

Not any more. Perfect Uninstaller is here and has been downloaded more than 1,000,000 times for a reason. The Add/Remove utility doesn’t always work, but that doesn’t mean you’re stuck with software you don’t want or need. Perfect Uninstaller will remove even the most stubborn programs completely, and it’s very easy to use.

Why would an application be unremovable in the first place? Good question. Sometimes, it’s the result of improper programming. Sometimes, the software manufacturer doesn’t want you to remove the application. MSN Messenger is a good example. Microsoft considers MSN Messenger to be part of the operating system, and it doesn’t want this stand-alone application removed.

Some users don’t want MSN Messenger on the computer. (Same might be true for Outlook or Internet Explorer.) Perfect Uninstaller doesn’t care what’s loaded on your computer. It will show you everything and remove whatever you want gone. It cleans up after itself, too! Perfect Uninstaller will remove registry entries that belong to the programs you want removed. By keeping the registry clean, you can be sure that abandoned code isn’t clogging up your registry and making your computer performance suffer as a result.

There are a few programs that regular removal won’t touch. For these stubborn programs, Perfect Uninstaller provides Force Uninstall. Force Uninstall doesn’t miss anything! If the regular install routine won’t take it out, count on Force Uninstall to get your disk cleaned up.
