uninstaller with real time engine looking for

Hi
i'm looking for an uninstaller ,like revo pro , with a real time engine that can track registry changed and files...


i used revo pro , but i got lots of crashes and freezes
and i was forced to hardware reset


is there a software like revo pro ?

thanks

 

What about Total Uninstall ?

 

Total Uninstall is the best app of its type imo. Give a try.

 

but it does not have a real time engine to monitor installed programs,does it?

thanks

 

I've not tried this for a while but I believe it has real time monitoring, plus there's a free version.

You need to read carefully the Help file of Total Uninstall.

 

yes thanks
to read the help file i have to install it

but i guess it make a snapshot before and one after
please can you tell me if i'm right

 

Yes. It makes quick snapshot before and one after installation. Then it compares and presents the differences (both file and registry) to user to review it. It can also export registry entries (settings, key info, etc.) for later installation.

 

That's right. You run a before and after snapshot. If you need a reboot in between then Total Uninstall completes the snapshot after reboot. For uninstall the best/safest approach imo is to ensure TU is set to always uninstall using first the provided uninstaller (i.e. the applications own uninstaller). When that's complete change the View to "Traces after Uninstall" and you can review what is left over and make a decision about whether to do a Clean Up.

Another tip I have is to do some "Clean Boot" installs. To do this create a new snapshot, and then just reboot your PC and complete the snapshot. This will show you all the items that have changed as a result of a boot and you can then add them to the Scan Exclude list (right click on the item) or Compare Ignore list. Do this several times until a boot shows no items changed. This ensures that when you install new software that requires a restart only the items changed by the program are recorded and not items that change every boot as a matter of course.

Final tip - after installing new software, run it (e.g. just open the GUI and close it again), before you complete the snapshot.

 

Thanks Scoobs72 for very useful tips I am also considering using it. Your tips will help me a lot against numerous troubles, which I may have to face.

 

Total Uninstall =

Been using it for years, no problems

Also there is InCtrl5 you can use as well - http://www.freewaregeeks.com/?page=detail&get_id=2060&category=107

 

thanks a lot
by the way revo pro has a real time engine
it 's pretty cool because monitor only the program you are going to install

but under xp i got some crashes
under w7 works great


does somebody use revo pro? some crashes?

 

Comodo Programs Manager

 

do you use it ?
is safe?
thanks

 

Use it under Win7 64bit and it performs flawlessly. Was interested to hear it has a real time engine. How is that activated. I can find no reference to it?

 

I tried it in a virtual machine a few months ago. It didn't cover every installed program, if I recall correctly. Also, it changed my Automatic Updates settings. I kept the installer for possible future use but decided not to use it, for now.

 

thanks
but doesn't have an exlorer extension like"install with comodo realtime engine"
sad it can't monitor every programs

 

have you the pro version ?
because only the pro version has this feature
real time engine
mouse right click install with revo
or run revo install program , browse and select the program you want to monitor

i guess that's it , good luck

cheers

 

Hi Mantra

Yes, I have the Pro version but had never twigged on this function...which I can now see when doing as you described. Will have to try it out and see if it is any good. Thanks.

I recall many years ago using an app call Cleansweep (from Quarterdeck, I believe, but long since absorbed by Symantec) and it had a real time monitor that would intercept install...without any prompting and then proceed to log the changes, etc. and then when uninstalling it referred back to its log, etc.

Those were the days, eh!

Now where is my zimmer frame?

 

I believe it does have such an explorer extension.

 

If you like Ashampoo products.....For XP/VISTA users
Ashampoo Magical UnInstall older version is free and it 'monitors each new installation'
http://download.cnet.com/Ashampoo-M...895.html?part=dl-AshampooM&subj=dl&tag=button
and register for free key...configure/internet/register for free key

 

thanks
i'm using
but seem to work like total uninstaller
i mean make a snapshot and a second shapshot , and make the compare

for real time monitor , i mean like revo , it doesn't make snapshots , it's a tiny driver 20k i guess and in real time while you are installing a program monitor the change in the registry and file

 

It will be difficult to find another uninstaller that has a real time installation monitor, as it appears to be a new approach and currently unique to Revo. In fact, this is the first I am hearing about it.

How well does it work?
Is it as good as snapshot based monitors?
How does this real time engine monitors if a program needs a reboot after installation?

 

How well does it work? -> 100% really
Is it as good as snapshot based monitors? -> i guess better

How does this real time engine monitors if a program needs a reboot after installation? -> don't know really but i send an email they told me it will 100% work in the next version

cheers

 

So, you are saying Revo real time engine currently can not monitor those programs that require a reboot during their installation routine? That appears to be a major drawback. I have never tried Revo pro before. I will give it a try and see how it compares with other snapshot based uninstallers.
