Go to: http://www.revouninstaller.com. 2. Click on "Downloads" (or just go to http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html) 3. Scroll down under all the red "X"es and click on "DOWNLOAD Freeware" (or just click on this link: http://www.revouninstaller.com/download/revosetup.exe As the site says, it's the "Pro" version download which is a 30 day trial unless you pay for it. The "freeware" version lacks the following: * Extended scanning for leftovers - more advanced scanning algorithms * Real-Time monitoring of system changes - during install of programs * Forced Uninstall - remove remnants of already uninstalled programs * Multi-level Backup system - including full Registry backup * Print and Print Preview of installed programs * Export of installed programs - in TXT, HTML and MS Excel * Customizable and flexible User Interface * Visual themes support * Command line program uninstall support * Full 64-bit compatibility - Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 but there is no time limit on its use. Revo is okay if you have to remove a program you didn't monitor when you installed it. The two main freeware programs for monitoring installations are: 1. The last freeware version of Total Uninstall (2.35): http://www.aplusfreeware.com/categories/util/uninst.html 2. ZSoft Uninstaller: http://www.zsoft.dk/index.php?goto=software_details&prog_id=4 Both of those programs will monitor a program's installation and if you want, can totally remove that program later. -- John Corliss BS206.

I used to run free TU and ZSoft in the past in W2K and Win98SE(think so here). But AFAIK none of them nor free Revo version has native 64bit support. For 64bit OS has usage of native 64bit utility the similar importance as 64bit ( at least core/engine ) Antivirus / Antimalware. -- Poutnik The best depends on how the best is defined.

Well that sucks. Not being able to *completely* remove installed programs is a deal killer for me as far as going with Windows 7 64 bit. Guess one can always use a VM. However, what about the scenario where you install a program thinking you're going to use it forever, then find something better and want to remove it? With XP, I have freeware to do everything I want. If I upgrade to W7 64, I'm going to lose way too much. -- John Corliss BS206.

Seems obvious to me, but... Of course, Win7 calls it something else, but you get the idea. I'm not kidding, though. Really. Or you can wait for a freeware 64-bit uninstaller to come out, if it's really that important to you. -- When I am right, No one remembers. When I am wrong, No one forgets.

The key word in my post is "*completely*" and that's why I put asterisks on either side of it. Completely -as in no orphan files, folders or registry entries. So yes, it really is that important to me. -- John Corliss BS206. Because of all the Googlespam, I block all posts sent through Google Groups.
