Judging by the huffy and petulant replies on the Revo subject at the
top, I think they must be the shareholders !

Strange think about Unlocker - it keeps disappearing off my comp !
I run Win 7 64. Use the new 1.90 x64bit version.
Ive now installed it 3 times ! (and no, i'm not accidentally removing it
with Revo)

It's not slow on mine, as mentioned I use Advanced mode.

Stage 1: It initiates the uninstall of the program. You can now stop
the process after doing that, but I prefer to clean out the registry &
the remaining program files & folders. One big advantage of Revo, it
dos'nt care if you installed a program, before installing Revo.

Stage 2: It cleans out the registry.

Stage 3: It cleans out the remaining Files & Folders that the program
uninstall left behind.
