Just like messy guests that come to your place, take advantage of your hospitality and leave your house like a storm passed by, some software applications leave traces on your computer even after you uninstall them. Since looking for useless keys in the registry is not something really smart to do, even if you're a Windows guru, simply because it takes a lot of time, if you really know what you're doing, using a program for this purpose is the better choice. Of course that the program we have for you today takes care exactly of this task, and even a bit more...


Setup

Total Uninstall is the name of the program we're going to talk about now, and its last version, labeled 4.21, was released one of these days. I can't tell you exactly when simply because the official site wasn't updated yet at this time, showing that latest version of this software application is 4.20. Leaving this small issue aside, I have to tell you that the setup package has only 2MB in size and installing it is a piece of cake, as you can see from the screenshots below...


Interface
Total Uninstall's interface looks clean and well organized, but when I opened the program for the first time, some drag and drop operations were needed to resize the tabs in the applications panel and the panel itself, so I can see the full names of most installed programs. Anyway, I must confess that this nice - only "nice", and nothing more - interface didn't prepare me for what was going to happen next...


Features

...because Total Uninstall is not one of those "please, uninstall this program" applications. To take full advantage of its features, some things must be known first.

Usually, a program like this should be the first application installed after you setup Windows, and the main reason is its ability to monitor software installs. The Total Uninstall agent sits peaceful in the system tray, and when it detects that you are running an application called setup.exe, install.msi or something similar (custom name patterns can also be defined), it saves the changes performed to your system for later use. This way, when you'll uninstall a program later, there will be no trace left, and accidental file deletion won't happen.

Since most programs installed already on your system create a log file of the changes performed during install, Total Uninstall can give you a lot of details about them too, so you can notice strange behaviour of potential malware or simply clean your system after uninstalling an older application that wasn't monitored by this utility.

What you should know is that the trial version is fully functional for 30 days, and I am sure that this is enough for you to decide if Total Uninstall is worth its 29.95$ price tag for a single license.


The Good

Total Uninstall is fast, reliable and very powerful. The trial version has no limitations or nag screens, and if you consider purchasing it for your entire family, a Family License that allows you to install and use the program on up to 4 PCs in the same household is also available for 39.95$.

The Bad

At first sight, Total Uninstall is not one of those fool-proof programs, so you have to spend some time checking its well written documentation to get prepared for the action.

Conclusion

Unfortunately, I am already using another uninstaller, and my Windows is not that fresh anymore, so I won't change that now, but I'll add Total Uninstaller to my "golden software" list, because this is a program that really deserves your attention, so be sure to hit the download link below and get the trial version up and running as soon as possible!
