Performance – 7

When you uninstall a program it completes in an acceptable amount of time, however there may be too many screens to navigate through for more experienced users.  IT is easy on system resources though and did not bog down our PC.

Conclusion

Overall this is an effective application for removing software programs including left behind registry settings and unused files.  Beginners will really appreciate the easy to use wizards that guide you through the process.  The extra utilities like the Junk Finder help keep your hard drive clean of abandoned and unused files.  Experienced PC users will find more functionality in other free uninstaller utilities though as this utility is very basic.  It will work on Windows Vista and XP (32 and 64 bit versions) and includes a free trial period and after that it is $19.95 after that for a full license.
