Ashampoo UnInstaller 2010 v1.0.3.0

Windows® applications are notoriously difficult to remove from your computer. They install parts of themselves all over your system and rarely make any effective provision for deleting themselves completely. Ashampoo UnInstaller 2010 changes this. Instead of installing a new program directly you start the installation program with Ashampoo UnInstaller 2010, which creates a complete record, called a "log file", of all the changes made to your system by the installation of the program. If you ever decide you want to remove the program you just load the log file with Ashampoo UnInstaller 2010, which then reverses all the logged changes - deleting added files and registry entries and restoring changed entries to their original state.
Ashampoo UnInstaller 2010 is actually a complete Windows maintenance package with over a dozen powerful tools. It comes with an advanced hard disk defragmenter, a file wiper, a file undeleter, an Internet cleaner, a Windows Registry cleaner, a Windows system restore point manager, file and folder backup and much more.

Powerful new Features.
Ashampoo UnInstaller 2010 is now better than ever before, with new features, improved functionality, two new utility modules and a new graphical user interface.

- Improved UnInstaller: Uninstall performance and accuracy have been further improved, particularly for “staged” program installations. This means that programs installed in several logged stages, for example with multiple updates over a period of time, are now removed much more efficiently.

- Improved Internet Cleaner: The Internet Cleaner deletes all traces of Internet surfing sessions from your computer (all browsers normally save records of everything you view). The new version supports all the latest versions of Internet Explorer and Firefox, and now also allows Firefox users to choose which cookies they want to keep or delete.

- New graphical user interface: In additional to the functional improvements Ashampoo UnInstaller 2010 has been given an attractive new graphical user interface that makes the program easier and more intuitive to use.

Other highlights.
In addition to the new and improved features Ashampoo UnInstaller 2010 continues to offer all the other tools and features that have made it so popular with novice and experienced users alike.

- Installation Monitor: This small system tray tool identifies almost all program installations automatically, logging the entire installation process so that you can remove the program later with the Ashampoo UnInstaller.

- Monitor secret program activities. Just take a “Before” snapshot with UnInstaller, run the application that you want to monitor and then take another snapshot. UnInstaller will then show you all the changes the program has made anywhere on your system, including Registry entries, new files, file changes and other changes.

- Reinstaller: Get insurance against changing your mind! Reinstaller reinstalls your removed programs along with all your individual settings so that you don’t have to go through the hassle of configuring everything all over again.

- Drag & Drop Desktop Uninstaller: Just drag the icon of a logged program onto the desktop icon to remove it from your computer with Ashampoo UnInstaller. Great for getting rid of trial versions quickly.

- Find invalid installation entries: Add/Remove Programs in the Windows Control Panel often contains invalid entries for programs no longer on your system. This tool locates and deletes these entries, freeing up resources on your machine.

- Manage system restore points: Windows has a system for saving “rollback” backups of your system called “restore points” that allow you to return your system to an earlier state without losing your personal data (text documents, emails, browser history etc). The restore points manager shows you all your restore points. It also enables you to activate and deactivate automatic restore points, create manual restore points and load restore points to return your system to a previous state.

- Registry Cleaner: The Windows Registry is the central database where both Windows and most programs save all their (and your) settings. Lots of leftover junk data often accumulates here, particularly when you remove programs without Ashampoo UnInstaller. This tool helps you to identify and get rid of this cruft that is clogging up your system.

- Manage fonts: Fonts you don’t use can use up a surprising amount of memory and Windows resources. This tool enables you to view all the fonts on your system with detailed information on each font and remove fonts you no longer require.

OS: Windows XP, Vista, 7
