We were only interested in the "forced uninstall" option. Wise Program Uninstaller got off to a bad start by not only requiring installation, but also offering to install SpyHunter, a third-party app, along the way. Overall Geek Uninstaller proved to be a likable tool, and effective at removing hard drive junk, but there are more thorough uninstallers around. (We tried the commercial version and that didn’t do any better.) This meant that, when we ran our test installer again, post-cleaning it acted as though it was running for the first time.īut Geek Uninstaller missed the file association, and the Registry reference to our service, as well as the test app’s \Users\Name\AppData\Roaming folder. Unlike most of the competition, It also found all the MSI-related installer keys.

The program found all the most obvious components: the main application folder, the Start Menu entry, the desktop shortcuts and the HKLM\Software and HKCU\Software folders. We selected "Force Removal", and after a very few seconds (this program is fast) everything Geek Uninstaller wanted to delete was displayed in a tree, all checked by default. But right-clicking any application reveals some useful options, including web searches, the ability to open related Registry keys or Explorer folders, or remove the entry entirely.

The opening screen is just as straightforward, a simple list of installed programs, their size and installation date.
