If you’ve ever tried to rid your computer of some software that you’ve installed…and failed…here is the solution you need. Revo Uninstaller grabs those pesky apps and rips them out, including the roots, for free!

Here’s the link you need to download this free bit of genius software :http://www.revouninstaller.com/

Install it. Run it. Almost immediately you’ll have a screen full of things that you can delete. I chose The Sims Life Stories on my current computer. I also chose SAFE, which is the screen that comes up next and has to do with the level of operator skill (this means you!) at the controls. Safe will weed out the bits and piece of the app and remove them PLUS it will look for stray wisps of detritus in the registry. If you don’t know what the registry is, DON’T CHOSE SAFE, just choose Built-in which ensures that only the app will be removed, not all of the registry things. Hint: The registry is the brain of Windows, the heart, blood and nerves, too. If you screw it up, you’re lost!

Revo then scans, deletes and waits until you choose something else to install. Once you’re through with deleting anything you don’t want, shut Revo down and reboot your computer. I usually reboot after any major uninstall activity, just to clear any temp files that might be in use. It doesn’t always work but it’s a good suggestion.

That’s it! I’ll keep my eyes open for cool apps such as this. Comments are welcome.
