free unistaller

[bluedad]

My dad's computer has a bunch of junk on it, namely from snap.do
I've tried unistalling from the control panel; I highlight snap.do, click on uninstall but nothing happens.
Are there any decent freeware uninstallers?

I've only used Revo.
It goes deep. Be careful with it.

It has helped on many occasion.

Just don't be trigger happy. Take your time. It walks you through the options.


Sometimes, nothing else will do.

Even if you don't use it to clean, you can use it to see what is in your registry.
It still makes the harder decisions for you. I have trusted it many times not knowing what was what, and it never let me down.

Your experience may be different though.

IObit Unstaller is really good:

There is also a portable (no install necessary) version:

It can uninstall toolbars/plugins as well as apps.

After having a bit of trouble with Revo in Win 8.1 I switched to Geek. Does the trick every time and doesn't need to be installed - just run it from a USB stick.

As with the others, take care what you select when it presents you with all the stuff it thinks should be removed.

Revo is all I use to clean out client computers. (PC Decrapifier and IOBit are okay, but they're just not as thorough.) The free version is great for 32-bit apps, but you'll need the paid version for 64-bit apps. The 32-bit version will work on a 64-bit version of Windows, but it won't even see the 64-bit programs to uninstall them.

On slow computers, or computers with a LOT of software installed, Revo may take time to list everything. Be patient. Once you get used to it, go into the options to make sure it's showing you all the components of each app; otherwise, you may miss some parts when you're uninstalling. Read the manual if you're not sure what to do, and never reboot after an un-install if an app wants you to. Always let Revo remove what's left. Then you can reboot.

After you thoroughly remove the app (using the "Advanced" option in Revo), clean out the Windows Registry and disable unnecessary start-up applications with the free CCleaner. It's free (donations welcome!) and available in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. There is a paid version, but you really don't get much more for your money.

This is what I get paid to do when I'm not doing music, and I wouldn't recommend Revo if I didn't think you'd be happy with it. And if you really like it, take advantage of the 50% off offer within the app to get the full version.
