CCleaner Or Not?
siouxdax:
Hello all:
I'm needing to remove an entry on my Add/Remove Programs list that just won't go away no matter how many times I "uninstall" it. I found CCleaner (ccleaner.com) as a possible freeware utility to remove it from the registry. Is this a good idea or not? Is there something better out there? I don't want to fiddle with my registry any more than I'd have to. CCleaner also touts to be able to remove unnecessary files, which I would like, but I'm nervous about doing things like this.
Any help, suggestions, etc are much appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Daniel In Tulsa

RevoUninstaller - It'll also try to remove any files or registry entries left by the program.

i dont know about that particular function in ccleaner, but it is a good program.

If you are going to use CCleaner then yoiu should consider going to the 'Other Builds' download page: http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds
The normal CCleaner installer includes the Yahoo Toolbar (although the toolbar installation is optional). The Portable or Slim builds do not.
