But Revo Uninstaller might be pulling into the lead with the release of version 1.4. This is the first version that comes in portable or installable versions. In other words, you can download a ZIP file containing Revo Uninstaller, throw it on a flash card and take it from PC to PC, making Revo a killer app for optimizing every PC in your home or office.
Other updates in the latest version include:
- New advanced, safe, and moderate modes when scanning for junk files
- Added option to start Revo Uninstaller in hunter mode on Windows startup
- Added automatic creation of system restore point before uninstalling applicaitons
- Faster operation

Revo has some nice features, like scanning your registry for entries left behind when a program is uninstalled. It's implementation of this particular feature is rather flawed, unfortunately. It's scanning methods are rather primitive (those that entail searching for the uninstalled program's name in your registry) and can frequently turn up non-related registry entries. As such, you need to painstakingly go through each and every entry, file or folder to make sure it's not accidentally deleting something important or something that it shouldn't.
Revo is a nifty tool in concept, but in practice for me, it was more of a headache.
