Review:

When I actually started to install the product, it was too slow to begin with. It was scouring for various softwares installed on my machine and it was definitely slower than the standard windows uninstaller, but under the hood, the program is detecting lot more details of each software installed on the machine than the windows uninstaller. So, its worth the wait.

Once the launch and software details are displayed, it is pretty fast and I am more impressed with the categorization of softwares. Because, not many people would want to uninstall windows patches. This tool allows us to easily segregate and ignore these windows patches and it even highlights (in yellow) the broken softwares links. I bet they are the ones that are not completely uninstalled. This tool does a great job in 'force uninstall' softwares. There are many products (like sex website dialers etc) that are hard to be deleted from the registry, and this tool does a clean job.

The software view does not have any sorting option for its columns, and the right pane (for search) cannot be turned off to have a wider screen to view the product details.

When column sizes are reduced, they are hidden as if they donot even exist. It will be little hard to locate and bring them to visibility.

Conclusion:

Worth the money, except few user-friendliness related issues but the majority of the functions are good.
