We all know how Windows Add/Remove Programs app doesn't always COMPLETELY remove an unwanted & unneeded program, but what I'd like to know is this: which of these 2 free apps is better at COMPLETELY removing an unwanted & unneeded program, which is faster, easier to use & looks good cosmetically (listing icons of installed programs, menus, etc.?

1. Revo Uninstaller
2. Absolute Uninstaller

This has been discussed in another thread and the winner seems to be Revo.

Thanks everyone. Thought Revo came out on top, just wanted a few opinions.

BTW, are there ANY free x64 uninstallers? Pro version just out of my budget range right now.

Very slow
Speaking of uninstalling on x64, I was totally baffled at why my programs weren't showing up to uninstall on Revo until I found that out.
