IObit Uninstaller is a free program-removal tool for Windows that goes beyond the built-in "Add or Remove Programs" list. After removing an application, it scans for leftover registry keys and files the standard uninstaller left behind, and it can force-remove programs that refuse to uninstall normally or that have a broken uninstaller entry. A paid Pro version adds extras like automatic bundled-software blocking and priority updates, but the core uninstall-and-clean feature set is free.
Why Use IObit Uninstaller Instead of Windows' Built-In Uninstaller
Windows' own "Apps & Features" list simply runs each program's uninstaller and stops there, often leaving registry entries and configuration files behind. IObit Uninstaller runs the same uninstaller but then scans for and offers to delete those leftover traces, and it keeps a log of newly installed software so you can spot bundled toolbars or browser extensions before they take over your default search engine.
