There are a number of applications that, once installed, simply cannot be removed from your system. Whatever you do, they seem to try and start with your computer, leave Registry entries and more. This can apply to Vista where it's easy to install software, but when you find they are not truly Vista compatible, removing them can be a real pain. The automated Windows Add/Remove uninstall function is reasonably successful, but you have limited control over the procedure.
Total Uninstall 4.2 is commercial software that enables you to dig far deeper in to an installed application and will show the results of an installation - if it boots with your computer, what Registry entries have been written and more. You can then manually choose to remove the software. Once on your system, Total Uninstall 4.2 will monitor installations, taking note of what's installing and where, so you can use this powerful tool to remove apps in the future.
