    Hi panais

    I know this isnt the answer you are looking for but the best on is the cpanel add/remove programs. Any other can and will leave fragments behind. It may work or may not. Why di you think you need a different one?

    I am experimenting with Revo Uninstaller and it seems to be OK.

    By default, it simply runs the program's uninstall routine, as would be done from add/remove programs.

    After that finishes, there are options to dig into the registry in 3 separate stages: deep, deeper, and deepest.

    You can go to these 3 steps if you want to, individually, or go no farther than add/remove programs would have done.

    I have used it 3 or 4 times. Each time, the default step did in fact leave registry entries behind, but going through the additional three steps removed them.

    So far so good, YMMV, etc.

    I swear by Revo, i think it's a good tool.
    It creates a restore point automatically each uninstall, cleans up junk files, obsolete reg keys etc.

    I swear by Revo too,. but you also have to do a search in the Registry.

    You can opt-out of that if you like

    For those who don't understand Revo,. here's how it works.

    It first creates a restore point
    Then it runs the programs regular Uninstaller
    Then it searches for leftover file and registry entries.
