free uninstallers.
« on: July 10, 2012, 08:44:15 PM »
hi
Could anybody recommend a free 64bit uninstaller please.?
Im currently using revo uninstaller but it only uninstalls 32 bit apps.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks. 8)

Yes, but it works better on apps installed AFTER CPM. (Reference)

Thank you i have just installed the comodo programs manager and it seems to be running just fine and leaves a small footprint on my memory usage too.It is a very attractive looking program.
Regards and thank you. 8)

I don't know, but CPM has a restore function for accidental deletions.

We both know that by the time you find out that the shared .dll has been removed it's usually to late to do any kind of restore.
Hopefully when you find out that a new install is required, you still have access to that program.
In essence, CPM isn't any different that the other generic uninstallers.
I wouldn't use it any sooner that I would use any of the others.

Many years ago, Symantec released the Norton Cleansweep to remove remains of software.
It did scan the computer trying to find them.
They've dropped such project.

Revo works with simple programs.
CPM says it can monitor the program installation (using it resident service). But, for me, it really messed Windows Updates and also mix programs and files and remove what it shouldn't. Besides, for me, it was never a stable application (bugs, crashes...).
The best things in life are free.

Sounds like a few other Comodo products which are no longer being developed but in their day,
where going to revolutionize the security industry.....
