Iobit uninstaller review plus#
Like the SlimWare SlimCleaner Plus ($29.97 at Slimware) tune-up utility, IObit Uninstaller's Toolbar & Plug-ins section leverages community ratings to help users determine which items should remain installed.
Of all the uninstallers I've reviewed, only Ashampoo Uninstaller boasts similar capabilities. IObit's ability to remove browser toolbars and plug-ins isn't a common one. In fact, Comodo and Revo didn't recognize the plug-in when I searched on "Amazon" using their respective search boxes. I used IObit Uninstaller to remove an Amazon plug-in for Google Chrome, which is something I couldn't do using Comodo Programs Manager or Revo Uninstaller. Toolbars, Plug-Ins, and CommunityIObit Uninstaller's ability to kick browser toolbars and plug-ins to the curb is what truly differentiates it from Comodo Programs Manager and Revo Uninstaller.
Iobit uninstaller review full#
IObit Uninstaller's been ahead of the curve in this respect for some time now Revo Uninstaller only recently implemented full 64-bit compatibility. IObit Uninstaller's full 64-bit Windows compatibility means that your PC's 64-bit apps are thoroughly removed, leaving no junk files behind. IObit also includes Force Uninstall, a feature that's designed to delete applications when they refuse to be removed in a traditional manner-very handy. That's a small inconvenience, but after that I discovered that IObit removed Geekbench, Steam, and other applications in a shorter time than Windows' built-in uninstaller. IObit Uninstaller lets you queue up multiple programs, but you must confirm the uninstall for each app before the removal process begins, much as you do with Comodo Programs Manager and Revo Uninstaller. Checking multiple application boxes lets you queue a string of program deletions, which is something that you cannot do in Windows' Programs and Features.
Iobit uninstaller review software#
Uninstalling ApplicationsUninstalling a single application, toolbar, or plug-in is as simple as highlighting a software listing (for example, Symantec Norton Utilities ) in the All Programs section and clicking the large, lime-green Uninstall icon. Sure, a utility's attractiveness doesn't trump functionality, but it's a welcome bonus. The Windows 10-compatible IObit Uninstaller (also available for Windows 8/7/Vista/XP) has a clean interface that makes navigating the application's three main sections-Programs, Toolbars & Plug-Ins, and Action Center-a breeze. IObit Uninstaller, on the other hand, lets you queue up multiple applications and remove those stray files. Second, the uninstall process often leaves behind junk files that may affect system performance. First, it only lets you remove one application at a time, which proves tedious if you want to uninstall lots of software at the same time. What It DoesWindows' built-in Programs and Features uninstaller lets you remove applications, but it has two issues.
