ReviewMcAfee Uninstaller is a multipurpose disk-management tool. It’s good for deleting unused files and applications–all the dead wood from your hard disks. Though Uninstaller works under Windows 95, 98, and NT 4.0, we had some disturb installing this product underneath Windows NT. The default setup program refuses to work underneath that operating system; Windows NT users have to dig into the CD-ROM using Explorer, then run a setup program that’s found in a subfolder. It is a minor inconvenience; Windows 95 and 98 users don’t have any trouble at all. At set up time, Uninstaller allows you to specify (by file-name extension) kinds of files Uninstaller ought to never delete. It then scans your hard disks, searching for folders it identifies as necessary and undeletable (apparently, it doesn’t want to delete folders that incorporate a lot of data files, such as word processing documents and accounting files). Then, you’re invited to unleash some QuickClean routines on your hard disks. The QuickClean routines delete such apparent rubbish as the contents of your Recycle Bin, the files in your Internet cache, and shortcut files whose references are bad, a well as dead Registry entries. You may establish a schedule for the QuickClean cleanups at installation time if you like.
When you later run Uninstaller, the program takes galore time to entirely scan the contents of your hard disks. It then presents you with numerous options:
- Remove, which gets rid of an installed application you no longer want
- Archive, which compresses an application into a comparatively little file
- Move, which relocates an application to another place on your file system, adjusting references amidst files consequently
- Transport, which is similar to Archive except it’s meant to move an application (and it is preference settings) to another computer
- Restore, which reverses an Archive function
- BackTrack, which watches as apps are installed and may undo their installations more accurately as a result
- SpaceMaker and PowerClean, which help you distinguish files that may be deleted in order to recover space
SpaceMaker and PowerClean are specially cool. They (the divergence amid the two is in their levels of sugarcoating) distinguish respective kinds of files that are distinctively deletable, such as duplicates and unreferenced code libraries. It then allows you to delete them.
Though hard disk space is for less than ever, and conserving space is less primary than it used to be in the days of dollar-a-meg hard disks, McAfee Uninstaller may aid you recover wasted space on your hard disk and in general tidy things up.
Your PC is crammed with undesirable software and junk files that may slow down your PC and cause problems! If you try to remove these without UnInstaller, you may overlook some, or worse, delete required or critcal files. All-new Uninstaller makes it a snap to totally clean this clutter and keep your PC humming like new. UnInstaller never deletes important Windows files, making it safe to clean up your PC.
