TC is going out on a limb by proclaiming Geek Uninstaller\u00a0 a tad better than Revo Uninstaller (free version). The reason is simple. Geek Uninstaller uninstalls as thoroughly as Revo Uninstaller — and Geek Uninstaller is easier to use and can be run from a flash drive or right from its exe file because it doesn’t need to be installed. If you’re going to be an uninstaller it’s nice not to have to list yourself among the installed programs.<\/p>\n
Also (and many of you might not know this) but Revo Uninstaller (free version) does not recognize or remove 64-bit programs, whereas Geek Uninstaller does. So if you’re using 64-bit Windows you should consider this. If you want 64-bit functionality you’ll have to buy Revo Uninstaller Pro.<\/p>\n
Another reason why I like Geek Uninstaller better than Revo is ease-of-use. Revo has several different uninstall options (Safe, Moderate, etc.) which can be confusing to beginners. Geek Uninstaller is as simple to use selecting the program you want to remove from a list and double-clicking it to start the uninstallation process. Also, another feature I like in Geek is the forced uninstallation. This comes in handy when a program’s uninstaller is missing. Revo has a similar feature but it’s more complicated — it’s called Hunter Mode.<\/p>\n
One thing Revo does that Geek does not is create a restore point before uninstalling a program. It’s a nice feature but I can live without it.<\/p>\n
If you like Revo – it’s a great program. If you’re using 64-bit Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8, keep in mind that Revo Uninstaller Free doesn’t recognize or uninstall 64-bit programs – Geek Uninstaller does. It won’t hurt to have both on your computer.. Geek Uninstaller doesn’t install. You simply unzip the program and click its exe file to run it.<\/p>\n
If you’re interested in giving Geek Uninstaller a try, you can get it free at\u00a0http:\/\/geekuninstaller.com\/<\/a>\u00a0 . Both Revo Uninstaller and Geek Uninstaller are true freeware — no bundles and no garbage. Since Geek Uninstaller has no paid version — there’s never any attempted upselling as there is with Revo Uninstaller Free.<\/p>\n Hey — but they’re both good. So if you’re not with the one you love, love the one you’re with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" TC is going out on a limb by proclaiming Geek Uninstaller\u00a0 a tad better than Revo Uninstaller (free version).
