[SOLVED] Which is better Advanced Uninstaller Pro or Revo-Unstaller Pro for Windows 7 x64 ?

Which uninstaller is better Advanced Uninstaller Pro or Revo-Uninstaller Pro ? Any input on this one's appreciated. It will help me decide on if I'm renewing Revo-Uninstaller Pro in August or switching to Advanced Uninstaller Pro in it's place.

I have tried both but don't like either one.

The one I use and many others is: Your Uninstaller! Pro Which is much better in my opinion to the ones inquired about.

More features and a much more thorough removal of program and software traces on one's system.

Thanks Nibs. I've never heard of that one.

Save your money. A very good uninstaller program called MyUninstaller is offered as freeware by NirSoft. I have used it for years and it works very well.

I'll try both of them. When I switched to 64 bit Vista, back prior to building this pc, I had to switch from Revo-Uninstaller free to the Pro version. The free version only works on removing 32 bit software, not 64 bit.

MyUninstaller is a really good program, it doesn't have to be installed to do it's job. I save a copy in my docs for quick access, along with the portable SIW, which my AV doesn't flag like the installed version does.

I use Revo Uninstaller Pro (the 30 day trial) when reinstalling from the recovery partition or when I buy a new computer. It completely removes all traces of unwanted apps. The user can control the aggressiveness of it's trace cleaning.

However, if one doesn't want to take the chance of screwing up the registry (this can happen, the user must be careful in what's being deleted), either MyUninstaller or the uninstaller within CCleaner does a good job.

Hey Cat! According to your Computer Specs, it shows that you have all your new hardware and such. So you completed your build? If so, how did it go? Just curious... sorry to go off topic here.

Well, this is interesting!! MyUninstaller is really nothing more than another way to uninstall a program using the original software's uninstall program and nothing more. It does NOT remove registry traces and such. One might as well use the Programs and Features section of Control Panel.

From their website:
No wonder it's free!

You guys use the free stuff, I'll stick with the best: Your Uninstaller! Pro.

Hey Nibs when I go to purchase Your Uninstaller the page freezes in both IE 9 and Firefox 4.01. My pc doesn't have any malware according to MSE, Malwarebytes free (new version released 1-2 days ago) and SUPERAntiSpyware (new version released last week). I wonder if Web Of Trust (W.O.T.) or McAfee SiteAdvisor Plus is the cause of the issue.

When I got my notebook, being that it's the better of my 2 computers, I changed the specs to that one, a couple of days after it arrived.

As far as my next one, I'm still saving. If I could get around better, I'd be picking up beer & soda cans & putting that towards it.

I was going to sell this one, but not for the prices they're going for ($300 tops). Times are bad, one can buy a brand new Dell Core2Duo w/Win 7 Pro 32 bit for a little over $400. All that's needed is a monitor & ISP, and a 64 bit OS disc to clean install it with.

No one is going to pay out much for mine, I've turned it into a playtoy. It's running XP Pro 64 bit now, in IDE mode. I'll reinstall 7 in a day or two, this install was one PITA.

Revo Uninstaller helped me to get the trial & error crap off of here during the install. That recent ATI Catalyst update/patch that was posted screwed the screen up bad. Fortunately, I had the presence of mind to create a restore point prior to installing it.

EDIT: It wasn't that the patch was bad, I had to find a Video Controller (VGA Compatible) for the install. After playing with it, the screen looks decent now.
