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.

Perfect Uninstaller Works Perfectly To Remove Software

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

Removing software doesn’t sound like a high-powered task and it shouldn’t be, but often it is. Take the case of a suite of software programs. Often software suites use related components, so removing one part of the suite may have negative consequences for the suite-mates left behind.

The Add/Remove Programs tool doesn’t always get these relationships, so removing one part of a software suite can either have disastrous consequences can turn out to be completely ineffective at removing the software. In some cases, the software manufacturer may claim that a certain portion of its software is “integral” to the function of other software in its suite, and will try to disallow the removal of any part of the software suite.

That’s where a program like Perfect Uninstaller comes in. Perfect Uninstaller understands the software on your computer, including software suites. It removes what you want removed and leaves the portions of code that other software relies on alone.

Perfect Uninstaller works tirelessly to remove unwanted software, including those packages that the Add/Remove Programs tool can’t see or can’t touch. Unlike the Add/Remove Programs tool, Perfect Uninstaller doesn’t rely strictly on the installation logs for direction. Perfect Uninstaller can detect software components without needing the installation log. This frees Perfect Uninstaller to remove what it finds cleanly and completely.

Perfect Uninstaller doesn’t play favorites either. If the file is one the computer, Perfect Uninstaller can see it and remove it. This is a great way to get rid of stubborn or corrupted applications that seem to get stuck and hang around forever.

Perfect Uninstaller doesn’t leave any stone unturned. Perfect Uninstaller will back up the registry and then remove all entries related to the target program. With Perfect Uninstaller, gone is gone.

For those programs that Perfect Uninstaller can’t remove completely on the first try, there’s Force Uninstall, a component of Perfect Uninstaller that will work endlessly until the target software is gone for good. Why not just start with Force Uninstall? In the vast majority of cases, forceful removal of software isn’t necessary, but it’s good to know that Perfect Uninstaller offers the option, and that the option works!

I recommend Perfect Uninstaller because it works, and in today’s demanding IT environment, that says a lot!

Removing Software Isn't Complicated Anymore!

Modern OS Design Complicates Simple Things

Modern operating systems aren’t all that simple. In fact, they’re tirelessly complex. The introduction of the graphical user interface (you know, the pretty windows and the drag-and-drop functions) made computers seem simpler, but that level of “simplicity” is a lot harder to achieve.

To support that kind of approach, software designers had to rebuild the modern operating system, pretty much from the ground up. There are an awful lot of things that go on “behind the scenes” of an operating system and most users don’t appreciate the herculean effort that has been put forth to keep things “simple.”

One of the most complex additions to the modern operating system has been the registry. The registry is talked about as a single unit, but it’s made up of several files, and it turns out to be more like a database rather than a simple file. Information about the computer’s attachments, installed software, and configuration are stored in the registry. As the computer accumulates more software, more hardware and more normal use, the registry grows.

Updates to software may write new information into the registry and cancel out old information from the registry. In all of this activity, information stored in the registry may become corrupted. The corruptions may cause additional problems for the computer, and may make what seem like ordinary tasks exceeding difficult to pull off.

Installers are supposed to conform to certain standards, and for the most part, they do. Some installers, however, don’t behave the way they should, or the information they leave behind may be inaccurate, incomplete, or damaged. Installers are supposed to write a log of what they do, so that when it comes time to uninstall software, the uninstaller tool can figure out how to undo what was done.

Without the log, uninstallers have no hope of finding all of the program files and configuration changes, and are therefore likely to balk at removing an old piece of software.

For just this reason, I use Perfect Uninstaller. As a technician, my time is valuable, and I need as much of it as I can gather because there are just some problems that require my effort, but removing stubborn software isn’t usually among them. Perfect Uninstaller works reliably and predictably every time.

Why The Add/Remove Programs Tool Sometimes Doesn't Work

What Would Cause An “Add/Remove Programs Tool” Failure?

The seeds of your computer’s discontent may be sown long before you try to remove an unwanted program. In fact, the software package’s installer may be responsible for some of your software removal frustrations.

Software installation is more involved than simply copying program files to a specific location. A lot of other information has to be written to both the disk and the operating system. Specifically, the installer routine copies program files, registers shared files, installs drivers, makes icons, links other installed programs to the new software, and so on. Important information about the software may be written into the computer’s registry, too. Everything the installer does is logged in a file. The log is then saved, usually in the application’s folder. The uninstaller will use this log to “undo” whatever got done during the installation process. So… what could possibly go wrong?

Well… just about everything. Some applications don’t actually make installer logs. This may be true of freeware, shareware and other similar programs. No installer log means no directions for the Add/Remove Programs tool to follow when it tries to remove the program. Aside from that, the installer log could get thrown away, damaged or moved to a location where the computer can’t find it. Any of these conditions would also give the Add/Remove Programs tool a little heartburn.

In the absence of knowing what the installer did, how can you get rid of a program? If you know a lot about computers, you can make some educated guesses about where the program files reside. You may also be able to determine whether other programs are sharing libraries with your removal target. You may even be able to locate the correct registry entry. In this case, you can manually remove the offending program and be done with it.

Realistically, however, if you don’t have the time or the interest to track down what the software installer may (or may not) have done to your computer, a safer and easier removal method involves using a software removal tool like Perfect Uninstaller. Perfect Uninstaller can locate and safely remove all of the files associated with an application, reverse or eliminate relevant registry entries and clean up a stubborn installation in no time. I recommend Perfect Uninstaller because it’s so easy to use and so thorough in what it does.

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 Made Easy

Perfect Uninstaller provides access to every piece of software loaded on your computer. Regardless of who made it or why the Add/Remove tool won’t work, Perfect Uninstaller gives you the options that built-in support doesn’t. Simply start Perfect Uninstaller, locate the software you want to remove and remove it, along with all of its associated files.

Perfect Uninstaller also cleans the computer’s registry file. This step removes all traces of the program so when it’s gone, it’s gone for good!

There are many reasons why a software package won’t uninstall properly. Sometimes, the uninstall files have been corrupted, or the installer log is missing or damaged. In other cases, the software author doesn’t want you to remove a program or its components from your computer. In the case of the operating system, some files will be reinstalled even after you’ve unloaded them. You can get rid of the files you no longer want, however. Perfect Uninstaller will remove all traces of the programs you no longer want or need without damaging programs and program components you still want.

Don’t allow irritating applications to hang around on your computer, taking up space you could use for other things. Download Perfect Uninstaller and exercise you right to decide what stays on your computer and what goes! Clean up your computer, reclaim hard disk space and remove unneeded entries from the registry with Perfect Uninstaller.

Removing Software Isn’t As Easy As Deleting Files

In a perfect world, getting rid of unwanted software would be as easy as dragging software to the Recycle Bin. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way, and “recycling” unwanted software can lead to other problems, not to mention large portions of the application that get left behind.

Most, if not all, applications write information in the computer’s registry file. This information would all be left behind, even if the application itself were deleted. Also left behind may be libraries that the program uses and temp files the program creates. There’s a reason that Microsoft has created the Add/Remove programs tool and when it works the way it’s supposed to, the Add/Remove tool does a good job of getting rid of software.

Unfortunately, the Add/Remove tool doesn’t always work the way it should. Sometimes, it doesn’t provide the option to remove a piece of software you no longer want. In that case, how do you get rid of the program? Simple. Download and install Perfect Uninstaller.

Perfect Uninstaller has been downloaded more than 1,000,000 times and is one of the most trusted software removal tools available on the market today. Perfect Uninstaller provides you with the options that the Add/Remove tool doesn’t. Perfect Uninstaller is easy to download and install, and it’s easy to use. Simply install the program and open it up.

Perfect Uninstaller will show you a complete list of software that’s installed on your computer. Select the application(s) you want to remove and that’s it. They’re gone! Perfect Uninstaller will remove all program files, along with all other program components. It will also remove all of the registry entries associated with the program(s) you want to eliminate, so absolutely nothing gets left behind.

Few programs work as simply and as completely as Perfect Uninstaller does. Perfect Uninstaller also provides an exceptional Force Uninstall function that clears out even the most stubborn software packages. Don’t settle for less than perfect. Choose Perfect Uninstaller to eliminate the unwanted software on your PC.
