We at Geeks For Your Information are very pleased to announce our 
Revo Uninstaller Pro 4 Valentines 2020 Giveaway

 

 

We would like to thank VS Revo Group Ltd. 
for sponsoring us the giveaway prizes

Overview

Revo Uninstaller Pro is an innovative uninstaller program which helps the user to uninstall unnecessary software and remove easily unwanted programs installed on the user's  personal computer. Revo Uninstaller gives the user the convenience to optimize his device, as well as get rid of all the program files he does not need which slows down the his  computer processes. The user might be surprised to learn that the "Add/Remove Programs" option in the Windows Control Panel does not always completely remove all software data from his system. Traces like registry items or program files and folders may still remain. Most programs come with their own uninstallers, but in most cases, these don't do complete the job thoroughly, leaving behind temporary files, leftovers, unused registry entries, and other unnecessary program files. These remnants take up space and slow down the user's system, and can cause conflicts during upgrade to a newer version of the same software in the future. Now with Revo Uninstaller the user can be sure that he can clean his system from all these remnants thus providing more comfort and optimization to his device and computing life.

 

 

With its advanced and fast algorithms, Revo Uninstaller Pro analyzes the application's data before uninstallation, and scans the user's computer for leftovers (after the built-in uninstaller of the program finishes). After the program's regular uninstaller runs, the user can remove additional unnecessary files, folders and Registry entries, usually left over by a program. Even if the user has a broken or corrupt program installation, Revo Uninstaller Pro can scan your hard disk drives and Windows Registry, and show all files, folders and Registry entries found, so the user can delete them easily/safely. 

 

User Interface

Revo  Uninstaller  Pro’s interface is basically divided into user components that will help the user effectively. The left portion of the main window will show the "Components Panel" which is divided into two (2) groups: Uninstaller, and (2) Tools. Each group has its own tools/components depending on the user's needs. 
 

Uninstaller Group

Uninstaller group has six (6) modules: (1) All Programs, (2) Traced Programs, (3) Windows Apps, (4) Browser Extensions, (5) Logs Database, and (6) Hunter Mode.
 

(1) All Programs
As the user starts Revo Uninstaller Pro, the main window displays all installed programs on the computer. The default view displayed is the "Details view."

The user can right click on the column header to sort, and from there he can show or hide some of the columns. Let it be note that "printing" works only in Details view, which is why it is better to setup printing in landscape mode, as that would contain much more information. By default, Revo Uninstaller Pro displays programs in in two (2) groups: 

(a) New Programs
Groups all programs installed in the last 7 days (the number of the days can be changed in the options) or since the last run of Revo Uninstaller Pro; 
  
(b) Other Programs
Groups all programs installed before the last 7 days, or before the last run of Revo Uninstaller Pro. 
 

Assign program to a group
The user can assign each program to a group by using the context menu when right clicking on a program. Removing a program from a group is also possible from the same context menu. The default groups are Internet, Games, Multimedia and Utilities. The user can add groups as desired via Options > Groups manager > Add. 
 

Revo Uninstaller Pro has a very powerful feature called "Forced Uninstall".  It will remove leftovers of programs that are already uninstalled, incomplete installations, and remnants of programs. It does not matter if the program the user want to remove is not listed in the "Programs and Features" or “Apps and features” applets. Forced Uninstall is the best solution when the user have to remove partially installed or uninstalled programs, and programs not listed as installed at all. 
 

Uninstall Options (Uninstaller > All Programs)

Uninstall
The use can select a desired program he wants to uninstall (or a group of programs). This will bring out the "Uninstallation Wizard". Revo Uninstaller Pro will silently try to find a matching trace log or logs of the program the user are uninstalling "first". It searches among the logs the user have traced or imported, and the logs in the Logs Database. If there is more than one log related to the program the user are uninstalling, or the user have a log for a previous, the user will see a window asking if the user wants to use the found log(s) during the uninstallation procedure. If there is an appropriate log and Revo Uninstaller Pro is going to use it, the user will be notified on the second step of the Uninstallation Wizard, during the initial data analysis.   

After the Uninstallation Wizard is displayed, Revo Uninstaller Pro tries to create a full Registry backup (if not disabled in the Options) and a System Restore Point, and then runs the built-in uninstaller of the program the user are uninstalling. When the uninstallation with the built-in uninstaller is finished, he can click "Scan" to continue the uninstallation process with Revo Uninstaller Pro.  

The user can choose from the following the leftover scanning modes: 
 

• Safe - performs a scan of the Registry and the hard drive to find leftover items that are safe to delete. This is the safest and fastest mode. 
  
  
• Moderate - includes the Safe mode, and performs an extended scan to find all of the application's leftover information in the most common places of the Registry and the hard drive. 
  
  
• Advanced - includes the Moderate mode, and performs a deep and thorough scan to find all of the application's leftover information in the Registry and on the hard drive. This is the slowest mode. 
  

The user can simply check an entire parent branch, as that will automatically select all of its children via "Select All". Thus eliminating the need to check each individual leftover item manually and separately. Let it be noted that only entries that are checked and in bold will actually be deleted (applies also with "Select All" when used)

Only entries that are checked and in bold will actually be deleted. This also applies when the "Select All" button is used as well. Deleted Registry entries are backed up, so if the user needs them later he can restore them using the Backup Manager (Tools >  Backup Manager).

Advanced algorithms are used to locate/find leftovers related only to the uninstalled program. But in some cases (when using Advanced leftover scanning mode) Revo Uninstaller Pro could list some items related other programs. As with other programs that come in the form of suite like Microsoft Office and Adobe Creative Suite, it is advisable that the user use the program/suites built-in uninstaller for "uninstalling" a single component of that particular suite and not Revo Uninstaller Pro as the scanning mode may list leftovers that are related to other programs within the particular suite. If the user is "not" uninstalling a single program from that suite/package then he can use Revo Uninstaller Pro to remove the entire suite. 

Revo Uninstaller Pro creates a full Registry backup, a System Restore Point, and backs up every item the user delete. In case the user wants to change the scanning mode, he click the "Back" button, and return to the previous step, select different scanning mode, and press "Scan" again to go forward.

 
Quick Uninstall  
Another way to uninstall a program, or a few programs at once, is via "Quick Uninstall". 

Note: 
 

• If the user selects "only one program", the "Quick Uninstall" command will be available in the "More Commands" button. 
   
  • If the user selects "multiple programs", the regular "Uninstall" button will switch to the "Quick Uninstall" button.
    

 

The Quick Uninstall is similar to the normal uninstallation process in that it will open a window, and start the uninstallation of the selected program(s). The differences from the normal installation are:

(a) Quick Uninstall will try to run a silent uninstallation of the selected program. A "silent uninstallation" would mean that the user would not see any prompts or even a progress indicator of the built-in uninstaller. The user would only see a notification after the built-in uninstaller has done its job. 

(b) Quick Uninstall will not show any leftover lists . It will scan for leftovers as usual but instead of prompting the user to select which ones to delete, Revo Uninstaller Pro will delete them automatically. 

After the deletion, Revo Uninstaller Pro will continue with running the built-in uninstaller of the next selected program. By default, all deleted Registry entries are backed up, and any deleted leftover files and folders are moved to the Recycle Bin. 


(2) Traced Programs
This module shows all installation logs traced with Revo Uninstaller Pro. To trace a program with Revo Uninstaller Pro the user can right click on its installation (setup) file, and select "Install with Revo Uninstaller Pro", or click the Install Program with Revo  Uninstaller  Pro  button  on  the  "Commands  Panel"  while "All  Programs"  or  "Traced Programs" modules are opened. 
 

Uninstall Options (Uninstaller > Traced Programs)

Uninstall  
Uninstallation of a logged program reverts all changes made to the system during its installation the way they were logged by Revo Uninstaller Pro. This process includes changes to the Windows Registry, files and folders.  After executing the command, uninstallation of Registry items, files, and folders begins, and the user can see the progress.  The window closes automatically when the uninstallation completes. By default, all changed Registry items are backed up. If the user want to back up the removal of files and folders, the user have to change the setting in Options -> Uninstaller. 
 

Custom Uninstall  
A Custom Uninstall of a logged program allows the user to select which changes made to the system during the installation of said program the user want to revert. After executing the command, the uninstallation wizard will start. The wizard may consist of one or two steps, depending on the items the log contains. A tree structure displays all logged (if any) Registry items in the first step of the uninstallation wizard. The wizard has two windows – the left one displays the Registry keys tree, and the right one displays the Registry values in the corresponding key. There are two counters in the lower part of the window; they show the numbers of logged keys and values (key counter). 
 

The user have to check items that the user want to uninstall. If the user want to uninstall all of them, the user can use the "Select All" button to check them all. However, regardless what items have check marks, only items that are both checked and in bold will be deleted.  To start the uninstallations, press the Uninstall button, and the user will see the progress bar for the operation.  
 

If there are any logged files and folders, the user can click the "Next" button to see the list. There are two counters in the lower part of the window; they show the numbers of logged files and folders. There is also an option to rename items that had existed with a certain name before the installation of the program, but were renamed during said installation: Execute Rename operations of previously existing on the system files and folders. If the user wants to uninstall files and folders, he can either check them, or use the "Select All" button to check all existing items, and remove them by clicking the "Uninstall" button. 

 

Advanced Uninstall  
While the uninstallation of a traced program is in progress, Revo Uninstaller Pro may detect that there is some data related to the uninstalled program, which was not deleted because it was not logged by Revo Uninstaller Pro during the installation of the program. In that case, the user will see a window with an "Advanced Uninstall" button. The "Advanced Uninstall" feature lets the user review and delete the aforementioned data. If the user wants to review and possibly delete it, press the "Advanced Uninstall" button. This will start the "Advanced Uninstall wizard", which may consist of two steps, one for the Registry leftovers, and one for the file and folder leftovers. 


Manage
The Manage menu (available when clicking the More Commands button) has the six (6) commands: (1) Delete Log / Delete selected Logs, (2) Merge selected logs, (3) Rename Log, (4) Edit Log, (5) Import Log, and (6) Export Log.  The Edit Log  contains three tabs:  (1) Properties, (2) Registry Items and (3) Files and Folders.
 

(3) Windows Apps
Revo Uninstaller Pro makes it easy to uninstall "Windows Apps" that come pre-installed with the latest versions of Windows, or are afterwards installed by the user from the  Microsoft  Store,  where  the user  have  access  to  tens  of  thousands  of  apps.  As with the uninstallation of a program, Revo Uninstaller Pro searches for leftover files, folders, and Registry entries, and allows the user to delete them. 
 

(4) Browser Extensions
Some programs mislead the user to install unwanted browsers extensions, or in most cases do it silently.  These  browser  extensions  change  the user's  browser  settings  without  the user's approval,  thus  they compromise  the user's  browsing  experience.  This module lists and helps the user remove/delete different kinds of extensions (also called add-ons), which popular browsers install for additional customization. Browser extensions are shown in groups, based on the browser. Currently, supported are: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and Microsoft Edge. 

 

(5) Logs Database
This is a database of logs of "Traced Programs" from the monitoring module of Revo Uninstaller Pro. It is a "log list" of traced programs that is compatible with the user's version of Windows. The Logs Database is created and maintained by Revo Uninstaller Pro's team. The logs are stored on Revo's web server, and the user can use them to uninstall programs or to remove leftovers of previously uninstalled program. Using a log from the Logs Database is the same as if the user has made the log and traced the program by himself. 

Thus the user has an advantage when installing Revo Uninstaller Pro on a computer that has existing installed programs for he has all the possibility for better and complete uninstallation using the trace logs from the Logs Database.  The user only has to search for the program the user want to uninstall, and select click "Uninstall".  When the user open the Logs Database, (by default) the user will see a list of logs compatible with his version of Windows. The number on the left side of the status bar indicates how many programs are listed based on the current filter settings and search terms entered. The number on the right side of the status bar indicates the total number of logs in the Logs Database. The database is updated automatically by Revo Uninstaller Pro's team. 

 

(6) Hunter mode
Hunter mode is an innovative and flexible feature of Revo Uninstaller Pro, which gives the user the ability to uninstall, stop, or delete simply by pointing to application icons on the Desktop or system tray, or opened application windows. This can be very useful because many applications loading on start-up and/or remain in the system tray without the user's consent, or the user does not even know which application that is. When the user click the button, the Revo Uninstaller Pro’s window will disappear, and a small blue target icon with a crosshair will appear at the upper right corner of the user's screen. Hunter mode is now activated. Right clicking the target icon brings a context menu with the following options: 
 

• Open main window (exits Hunter mode, and re-opens Revo Uninstaller Pro’s main window)
  
• Auto Start with Windows (sets Hunter Mode to start automatically with Windows)
  
• Window's size (allows the user to change the size of the target icon to small, medium or large)
  
• Transparency (set transparency level)
  
• Help (opens Revo Uninstaller Pro’s help file)
  
• Exit (exit application) 
  

 

Tools Group

Tools group has six (7) modules: (1) Autorun Manager, (2) Junk Files Cleaner, (3) Windows Tools, (4) History Cleaner, (5) Evidence Remover, (6) Unrecoverable Delete, and Backup Manager.
 

(1) Autorun Manager
Revo Uninstaller Pro's "Autorun Manager" gives the user control over the startup process of the user's operating system by selecting which processes, services, and scheduled tasks are allowed to start with Windows. With this tool, the user can not only enable or disable applications from automatically starting, but also get more information about them, like publisher, description, launch path, and whether it is currently running.  As the user keep installing new software, some of it will set itself to start with the user's computer. They can be viewed in the system tray (near the clock in Taskbar) as small icons. Often such applications are messengers, adware, optimizers, and other applications the user do not need to start automatically. The user can enable/disable what he desires via this module. 

 

(2) Junk Files Cleaner
The Junk Files Cleaner allows the user to find and remove various types of junk and unnecessary files from his computer. Normally, such files are deleted by the application that had created them as soon they become unnecessary. But these days most programs let some remain in the user's hard drive sometimes when a certain program that created them was terminated unexpectedly, or it was not programed to delete said files, or say a system crash, etc. These files that accumulate over time may impact system performance. Revo Uninstaller Pro's "Junk Files Cleaner" allows the user to select which drives to scan, and what extension of files to scan for. It is also possible to manually add a specific folders (in the Options -> Junk Files Cleaner -> Include), whose content will be considered junk and will be emptied at every scan. 


 

(3) Windows Tools
The Windows Tools section in Revo Uninstaller Pro gives the user a fast – one-click access to more than ten Windows tools, which he can use in his maintenance routine. These are the useful tools and components bundled with every Windows operating system ranging from some that have complex command line options to others which are difficult to access. 


 

(4) History Cleaner
Revo Uninstaller Pro's "History Cleaner" tool combines three other cleaning tools: (1) Browsers Cleaner, (2) Windows Cleaner, and (3) Microsoft Office Cleaner. Each of them is accessible from a tab located on the top of the main window of the History Cleaner. They can be used separately using the "Clear" button when a cleaner is active, or the history of all cleaners can be cleared at once if the user clicks the "Clear All" button. 

(1) Browsers Cleaner
Each browser makes a detailed record of every web site the user have ever visited. Revo Uninstaller Pro erases web site history of the following web browsers: (1) Microsoft Edge, (2) Internet Explorer, (3) Firefox, (4) Google Chrome, and (5) Opera. With the Browsers Cleaner, the user can also delete temporary Internet files, which include images, videos, audio files, etc., all the web pages the user have visited. Deleting temporary Internet files will also free a disk space on the user's hard disk

(2) Windows Cleaner
Microsoft Windows keeps tracks of many things the user do, like file search history when the user searches for files and folders; recently opened document history; open/save history used in standard open/save dialogs; start menu clicks history; last opened Registry key history, and more. History Cleaner's "Windows Cleaner" allows the user to remove all of this history and temporary files quickly and easily. The user can also empty his Recycle Bin, and delete temporary files, freeing more disk space. 

(3) Microsoft Office Cleaner
Allows the user to remove history of most recently used files in Microsoft Word, Excel, Access, and PowerPoint. If the user does not want somebody else to see his last opened or edited documents, spreadsheets, or other files created using Microsoft Office, he only needs to select those, and click the "Clear" or "Clear All".  The user's most recently used files will no longer be listed. 


 

(5) Evidence Remover
Deleting the user's files and folders does not mean that they are gone forever. When the user empty the Recycle Bin, the user's files and folders are just marked as deleted but they are not physically erased. The user can easily get back the user's important documents and other files that he has deleted using any recovery tool or un-delete program.

Revo Uninstaller Pro's "Evidence Remover" will eliminate all chances to get data back from the user's hard drive(s). It will forever erase files and folders that are already deleted, but left physically on the user's hard disk. No matter what tool the user or somebody else uses to recover data, including professional and expensive recovery tools, the result will always be the same — the data erased with Evidence Remover is impossible to recover. 

 

(6) Unrecoverable Delete
Revo Uninstaller Pro's "Unrecoverable Delete" allows the user to securely delete a file or folder, and to be sure that no one, with any tool, could be able to recover that file or folder. Deleting files and emptying Windows Recycle Bin does not mean they are gone forever. They are still on the user’s hard drive, but marked as deleted. Anyone with a file recovery tool (free or commercial), could recover deleted data easily. With "Unrecoverable Delete" tool it is impossible, even if the user tries to do that with the most advanced and expensive tool on the market. Deleting files in Windows means that they are marked as deleted, and the space they allocated up until that point is free to use. This is because if Windows has to physically erase all deleted files, it will take time and will slow down the user’s computer. There is also a lot of system, temporary, and other files which are unimportant so making them unrecoverable would be waste of resources. Unrecoverable Delete physically erases all files and folders that the user choose, which is why it takes more time than simple deletion. 

 

(7) Backup Manager
Revo Uninstaller Pro has a multi-level backup system. The Backup Manager is the main part of that system. It helps the user manage backup information stored by Revo Uninstaller Pro, such as deleted Registry entries, files, and folders. When restoring backed up items, the user can restore all of the deleted data, or he can select which individual items he needs. If the user needs to free up disk space, he can any and all backed up data. The other levels of the backup system are: 
 

• Creating a System Restore Point before each uninstallation 
  
• Full Registry backup before each uninstallation 
  
• Full Registry backup once a day, if Revo Uninstaller Pro is started.
