Revo Uninstaller Pro

Here is my experience with it:

I was looking for a good uninstaller and all the reviews pointed to Reo Uninstaller Pro

so what I did was purchased it, formatted my system, so that I can record all the before/after states of the registry with Revo Uninstaller Pro the way it should be done.

Great, everything was recorded perfectly

One day, a new JAVA update is released, so what I did was, uninstalled the old Java using Revo Uninstaller Pro

After the Uninstall went through, I noticed that it reset my Firefox Profile and I had to sit there for 30 mins reinstalling all the adons and configuring my settings, tweaks, and logging in to all my fav. sites 🙁

I contacted Tech support about my awful experience and instead of helping me see whats the problem, they were happy to give me a refund! wow, seems they know their app sometimes breaks aother things.

From then on, I only use the Free Geek Uninstaller.

It doesn't monitor apps installations, but after it uninstalls an app, it looks for any left over registry entries and deletes them. never had a problem with it...EVER

Another problem with Revo Uninstaller is that it cannot monitor the apps that force a restart!

Example: try to install Nero 12 or Nero 11, the way their installer works is, it first installs a few components like Visual C++ 2010 then restarts, so after the restart, the recording of Revo Uninstaller is broken and nothing gets recorded from the actual installation of the app. Not to mention the fact that it is impossible to monitor such an installation because Nero 12 installs so many diff. things for the complete package to work. This is just ONE example

it has issues with anything that needs a restart
 
Thanks I don't really use the hunter mode because there is a log database now.

I got 3 licenses for $23.54 and didn't think it was a bad deal. Even cheaper than two licenses.
 
It's worth it for native 64bit support and what was mentioned above.

The only problem is that they have a very agressive activation policy. Reactivating the software on the same machine (after a format for example) will result in a failed activation unless you have some unused activations left over.

Other than that it's decent software.

Thanks how do you reactivate then after a format ?
 
I hate software that limit you to activations when you have purchased it.

For example, I love Internet Download Manager because it lets me activate as many times as I want as long as it's on the same PC. They monitor the PC name and specs
