Revo Uninstaller 1.91


Revo Uninstaller 1.91

License: Free
Language: English
Developer: Revouninstaller
OS: WinXP/2003/Vista/7

“Superb free uninstaller for programs you can't remove”

One thing that I've always thought is woefully inadequate in Windows is the Add/Remove Program console in the Control Panel.

Until now, I'd been using CCleaner to remove programs simply because I find it much easier to navigate what's on my system than using Windows default tool. However, Revo Uninstaller has changed all that. Revo Uninstaller is definitely the best uninstaller I've ever used on Windows and allows you to remove even the most stubborn programs.

Using Revo Uninstaller is very simple. As soon as its installed, the main interface displays which programs are installed. Simply select the one you want to remove and Revo proceeds to perform a very through removal process including making a backup point in case anything goes wrong or it removes something you don't want it to.

Revo delves deep into your Registry to remove all entries and other temporary files that most other uninstallers leave behind. At each step, Revo Uniinstaller prompts you to select which files you want to remove. This was the only thing I found a little unintuitive first time round because I selected everything and then clicked "Next" but what you're supposed to do is select everything, click "Delete" to remove them, and then "Next". Once you've done it once though, it's very clear how the procedure works.

There is a Pro version of Revo Uninstaller although the free version is so powerful that I can't see any real need to upgrade to it unless you've simply been unable to remove a program with the free version.

There is very little to fault with Revo Uninstaller. I'd recommend using it to remove all of your programs from now on because it removes all those nasty little files that frequently get left behind.
 
Pros 

Incredibly thorough uninstallations
Delves deep into your registry and temp folders
Very easy to use
 
Cons 
 
Deletion of files stage a bit confusing first time round
Too many buttons along top of interface.

Developer: UltraReach

“Browse the web without leaving personal traces”

UltraSurf is a small app that works as a secure filter when you're browsing the web,  preventing the browser from saving information such as history of visited sites and  cookies.

UltraSurf doesn't require installation and can be run from a USB memory stick, which makes  it perfect to carry around in your pendrive and use if you need to browse the web from a  public computer. It works on both Internet Explorer and Firefox, encrypting all of your  internet activity so that third parties can't trace what you have been viewing or doing  online.

The only drawback to UltraSurf is that it is not easy to see if the application is working  properly, and as the default browser is Internet Explorer, it's hard to know if UltraSurf  is doing its job when you switch to an alternative.

With UltraSurf you can now browse the web in a completely safe way without leaving any  traces behind you.

Pros
No installation required
Easy to use
Deletes all browsing traces automatically

Cons
Can slow/complicate browsing

Editors Review:
Reviewed by: Seth Rosenblatt on February 18, 2009

This freeware program promises to encrypt all your Internet connections, but since most public wi-fi access points in the U.S. are open, it's a bit hard to gauge Hotspot Shield's effectiveness. However, the connection itself is a bit wonky.

Once the program is installed, it creates an HTML link on your desktop. Double-clicking on it will open the application in your Web browser, and you'll be taken to a page detailing your Connection Status, IP Address, Server Address, Bytes sent and received, and the duration of the connection. Hotspot Shield is ad supported, so you'll get a big banner ad that lives at the top of every Web page, too. Closing the tab with the app's control panel doesn't disconnect the shield, though: for that, or to reload the control panel, you have to go through the green shield icon that gets loaded into your system tray. Also, there's a 5 GB transfer limit.

Overall, we can't give Hotspot Shield a strong recommendation, but as a last resort it might be worth trying out.
