MemberI saw that the other day. I spend too much money on games to have money for that. No, I just took my computer back to factory settings a couple weeks ago and I was dying to get the new Ashampoo Winoptimizer 7, but I think I'll pass because this time I am just going to run the basic utilities and what they give me in Norton Security Suite by Comcast which is actually Norton 360.
But maybe I will actually listen to people this time. Some people don't recommend you run registry cleaners or anything like that. Norton 360 has a registry cleaner, but I don't think it does a deep scan as their Norton Utilities finds more problems. I would actually get it if you could use it on more than one computer and you can't. Norton Utilities you can, but any Ashampoo program you can't. My father and I tried once and I noticed Ashampoo Winoptimzer an earlier version was running on his computer but it wouldn't clean the computer because I had it installed. As soon as I took it off it cleaned his computer.

MemberCleans just files out of your registry. It says it works with it here http://www.ashampoo.com/en/usd/prq/1003/System_Utilities/Ashampoo-UnInstaller-4
Terri honestly I don't think you need it. There are plenty of freebies available. Besides you can get an earlier version for free.

Take your pick I think all versions are the same. I just yahooed it. Their uninstaller utility I don't think you need that either. Though it is up to you.

MemberRevo Uninstaller (like many other uninstallers) is good for attempting to remove programs that were installed before getting the uninstaller. That is, it searches for keywords in the registry, file system, etc to find leftover items not deleted by the developer's uninstall process. It can miss a lot of things.
Ashampoo Uninstaller (etc) is similar to Windows' System Restore, except more thorough and detailed: That is, it takes a snapshot of all the files and registry just before installing a program. Then, it takes another snapshot after installation to see what changes were made. It shows you these changes in an Explorer-like window, and lets you see and choose what to remove (in case you don't want to put everything back like it was before the installation). Also, this information is stored so you can view it again at a later time if something unexpected happens later on down the road. You'll have a record of the original install to compare to.
Both methods can run into problems uninstalling because of Windows' security settings. Windows often won't allow some files or registry entries to be deleted, for example. At least with the Ashampoo Uninstaller, you have a record of such files or registry entries, and could find a way to remove them if you wanted to bad enough by temporarily changing some security settings.
Nowadays, I usually use Sandboxie when installing new software (when possible). That's because it sandboxes and records the changes made in real-time. Thus, you can check it out without worry of damage, see what was done and remove everything instantly by deleting the sandbox. If you want to keep it, you can just make another (permanent) install knowing ahead of time what to expect.
For those programs that won't install properly under Sandboxie, I run an older (free) version of Total Uninstall, which is similar to Ashampoo Uninstall. It works fine under XP. I don't know if it works under Vista, etc..

I Love their burning program(1 of the easiest to use). But I NEVER buy their programs. They are always offering them free when a new version comes out. So all you need to do is be patient.
