Thanks for your hard work on the Poll aefstoggaflm !
I voted Windows Add/Remove.
I'll generally do a manual search for remnants left behind when I'm done though.
Have also been 'playing around' with Revo Uninstaller a bit, after seeing it mentioned here. (I've actually had that on a Thumb Drive for quite a while and forgot all about it...nice GUI).

I start with Windows Add/Remove Programs. However as we all know it leaves Folders (sometimes empty but oftentimes not), as well as .dll & .dat files scattered around on my NTFS C drive. Knowing that, I use Windows Explorer and manually delete any of the aforementioned items I can see or find.
If the program is more entrenched, such as my currently installed Norton Internet Security 2008 program, first I run Registry Mechanic from PC Tools because it's not quite as aggressively scary to me as CCleaner, then I'll run CCleaner to see if it picks up anything.
One thing I always appreciate about the Polls is that they include links to the programs so I get to learn something new, which is always the case on this site.
Thanks again for another great Poll, Michael |

Used CCleaner and Cleanse Uninstaller.
Will use Windows Restore if the program is a real dog to uninstall (e.g. CyberLink Power2Go) |

Total Uninstall. It's the only one that gets rid of the hidden nifties dropped by shareware program's to not start anymore after the trial period is over.
But it has a deadly drawback, snapshot before and after installation takes about 2 x 20mins, which is way too much. Registry scanner is slow as a snail.  |

I voted ZSoft Uninstaller. I use it together with Registry Seeker 1.5.(not an uninstaller of course). These two work fine for me and on rare occasions Add or Remove Programs.

I use MyUninstaller or Windows Add/Remove then CCleaner.
I do have the Ashampoo Uninstaller but I keep forgetting to use it to INSTALL the program in the first place so I haven't really had a chance to test it.
Good poll, aefstoggaflm! |

Stopped using stand-alone uninstallers, update managers and tuner-uppers years ago. Never seemed to be enough upside to warrant the added cost/overhead/hassle.

Re: [POLL] Uninstallers - 2008 Member Choice
Thanks for the poll, aefstoggaflm.
For older programs I basically use the Windows A/R, Ccleaner or the uninstaller in JV16 power tools.
For newer installs I use snapshots to restore to a prior state. EAZ-FIX pro.
Not an uninstaller per say, but it does go back as if the program never existed.
