Keep your Windows clean! It's quick, it's easy and it works
Written by Elena Opris on March 30th, 2012
Ashampoo UnInstaller is a program that comes packed with a few clever tools for completely removing installed applications from your hard drive.
The interface of the software has clean elements and is easy to navigate through.
So, you can view a list of all currently installed programs on your computer, available log files, as well as registry, file and system changes.
Furthermore, you can delete a log file and access "Observation Options" to check out the registry, drives and system files, as well as create a file exclusion list.
In addition, you can load a log file, reinstall a removed program, save the current configuration and create a comparison log.
But you can also install a new program and keep a log file of the installation process because this helps you completely remove the respecting application afterward, by comparing the initial and current registry status.
Moreover, you can compare two configurations, print the report, perform a defrag on the hard drive, clean the registry, as well as remove junk data (e.g. invalid links, empty folders, duplicates, temp files), clear Internet tracks, undelete files and use a file shredder.
Plus, you can manage restore points, services, fonts and Internet Explorer addons, backup files and folders, check for invalid installation entries, and more.
Ashampoo UnInstaller has a complete help file with snapshots for beginners, along with short descriptions displayed on the interface for every major feature. It uses a moderate amount of system resources and didn't freeze or crash during our tests. We recommend it to all user levels.

Here are some key features of "Ashampoo UnInstaller [DISCOUNT]":
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.
