Ashampoo UnInstaller Suite 1.31 I would advise against this one. Spyware!!!

QuickClean 3.0 from McAfee, it does way more than clean your folders and registry.

I've got this fancy program that came with windows called Add/Remove Program that seems to work just fine. If it didn't work for some reason I would just delete the program folders of the program you were trying to get rid of then use a regleaner to get rid of the rest of the crap.

Maybe I'm old fashioned but I prefer start - settings - control panel - add/remove programs. What is the use of a separate program ?

Most uninstallers do not remove: registry entries, folders created by the application and shortcuts to uninstalled programs.

And you need a separate program to do that ?

If you have time and know windows then do it manually, if you are lazy then just payzero for a program to do it.
