AppRemover
Uninstall stubborn security tools

If you find you can't uninstall the average application - a browser, say, graphics editor or word processor - then it's a nuisance, but no more. Windows and the rest of your software will probably go on working just as it always did.

If the uninstall fails for an antivirus tool, though, it's a different story. Security software makes many low-level changes to your PC, and if these can't be undone then your PC may become unstable, or behave unpredictably. Worse still, you may find you can't install any new security software because it detects the remnants of your old package, and demands that be removed first.

There's a simple solution to these problems, though - and it's called AppRemover. Run the program, choose the option to look for failed uninstalls, and it'll scan your Registry and hard drive looking for remnants of old security packages. Hundreds of packages are supported, from all the major security companies: AVG, Avira, F-Secure, Kaspersky, Lavasoft, McAfee, Microsoft, Panda, PC Tools, Symantec, and many more. The chances are it'll detect what's left of your security program, then, and you can have it removed in a couple of clicks.

For build 2.2.25.1 information, take a look at the release notes.

Verdict:

This isn't a program you'll need often, but when you do it could save your PCs life. Be prepared - download a copy now

Did not work on Win7 x64. Didn't do a thing.

Weird, it's definitely 64-bit compatible according to their website. Worked on our test 64-bit machine?

Spotlight: Free Full Software

Giveaway: WinISO Standard 6.1.0

Free Full Commercial Software

WinISO is a very comprehensive tool which provides everything you need to create, edit and convert disc images.

If you've an image file already, for instance (ISO, CUE/ BIN, NRG, MDF, CCD, IMG and DVD formats are supported) then you can open it in a click or two, browse the image contents, and extract the files you need with a quick drag and drop.

It's just as easy to create new ISO9660, UDF, even HFS+ images. Just choose the option you need, then either manually build up your preferred file and folder structure; drag and drop your files and folders from Explorer onto the program; or create an image directly from a CD, DVD or Blu-ray disc.

Of course you can edit images, too. Is an ISO file too large for your needs, say? Open it up, locate and remove any surplus files to free up a little space.

WinISO program has full support for reading and creating bootable image files. A simple conversion tool makes it easy to convert disc images into the format you need. And the program can even mount ISO files as Explorer files, or burn images to disc when you're ready to save them.

Please note, this trial version of WinISO Standard will not save files greater than 500MB in size.

Giveaway: on Wednesday, we're giving you the full current version of WinISO Standard 6 worth $29.95. The download link here will take you to Downloadcrew Giveaway.
