Uberstaller
in [Freeware]

From: Thip on 5 May 2010 12:54 I just downloaded and installed this on Win7 x64, and it runs fine. And it's a whole lot prettier than Advanced Uninstaller. :-) Be aware that it tries to phone home looking for updates, but other than that it's clean. http://uberstaller.com/ "The Windows OS comes with an Add/Remove Programs feature, which includes a basic uninstall programs utility. As opposed to uninstaller, it runs slow and leaves behind unnecessary files, folders, and registry keys from the uninstalled software. This unwanted digital information builds up on your computer and, if it's not regularly purged, can slow down or even crash your operating system. Fortunately, Code Precision has released Uberstaller, a state-of-the-art, freeware uninstaller package that makes the Windows version virtually obsolete. The Uberstaller program uninstaller is lightning-fast, allowing you to quickly find the program(s) you want to eliminate. Once the software is located, all essential program information-version number, publication date, and more-is displayed in an easy-to-read table. Programs can be highlighted and uninstalled right from this screen, with an ease that simply can't be found in other uninstaller software. The Uberstaller uninstall tool even includes a configurable layout, so you can get the information you need in whatever visual format is easiest for you...."

FWIW, WOT gives an abysmal rating to a perfectly innocent crochet site I like to use. Google for Maggie's Crochet and see for yourself. WOT is a good tool, but like anything else, common sense helps.

It only downloads a text file with version info for updating purpose. It can be easily verified with any network sniffer tool.
