Batch uninstall Windows programs with Absolute Uninstaller

Absolute Uninstaller
The folks at CyberNet seem to have a knack for finding good applications for uninstalling programs. First they introduced us to Revo Uninstaller, and then they were among the first to notice when CCleaner 2.0 beta was released.

So we probably shouldn't be surprised that Cybernet has reviewed another great application for removing programs from your Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/Vista machine. Absolute Uninstaller loads faster than either Revo Uninstaller or the default Windows Add/Remove programs utility. Like Revo Uninstaller, Absolute attempts to clean up the gunk that's left behind after running an uninstaller.

Probably the coolest feature is the batch uninstaller setting that lets you select a list of applications to uninstall. You'll still need to confirm each operation one at a time, but as soon as one uninstaller program finishes running, another will begin. Overall, Absolute Uninstaller makes the process of uninstalling multiple programs much quicker and easier.

Remove unwanted programs with Revo Uninstaller

Revo Uninstaller
You know how when you uninstall Windows software you always wind up with a few leftover files and entries in the windows registry? You could skip the Control Panel and use a program like CCleaner to remove programs and then perform periodic registry scans. Or you could try Revo Uninstaller, a free program that cleans up after itself when it uninstalls software.

Revo Uninstaller works with PCs running Windows 2000/XP/Vista. At its most basic level, the application lets you find and remove programs. But once its done running the uninstaller, it will ask if you want it to search for leftover files and unused registry entries, which you can delete with just a click or two.

You can also run Revo Uninstaller in "Hunter Mode," which lets you drag an icon over various programs to uninstall them, or just to find more information or kill running processes. Another feature lets you manage what programs auto-start with Windows, while another useful tool cleans up your web browser cache.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
