My guess is that the rather silly name is the reason I never have heard of it before; The features are spot on, making it a worthy challenger to Revo Uninstaller Pro:

Giveaway of the Day - free licensed software daily. Soft Organizer 3.40 - Soft Organizer will help you remove the unwanted applications from your computer and keep an eye on the changes made to the system.

Soft Organizer is an excellent and very easy to use application to install and uninstall programs completely. Applications can be installed with tracking, which means the tool records all places in the system where the installed program leaves traces. In the future, these data allow removing that program completely, including all leftovers that may stay in the system after regular uninstalling using the Control Panel.

Soft Organizer is also equipped with a search mechanism to find traces of programs that were not tracked automatically. For programs you prefer to keep installed, Soft Organizer can check for available new versions and notify you about them with a special symbol in the application list. The built-in rating system provides a way to locate and get rid of unneeded and low-quality products.

CAPABILITIES

• SEARCH FOR TRACES (RESIDUES) OF THE UNINSTALLED PROGRAM

Allows you to remove traces of programs that were not tracked while installing (powered by the Full Uninstall technology).

• TRACKED INSTALLATION OF PROGRAMS

Installs apps and tracks changes in the system to enable removing tracked elements later (powered by the Full Uninstall technology).

• NEW! BUILT-IN PROGRAM RATING

Program rating allows you to evaluate installed applications. The rating is calculated based on the total number of users who have removed this app from the computer shortly after installation.

• PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

If the purpose of some program in the list looks vague, you can view its description by clicking the special question icon near the program title (not available for all programs).

• CHECK FOR NEW VERSIONS

For installed programs there’s an option to check for newer versions of a program. This allows you to keep applications up-to-date, as well as to eliminate bugs and problems caused by the outdated versions.

• AUTOMATIC RESTORE POINTS

Automatic creation of restore points during the removal of application residues indemnifies the system against any possible emergency.

• REMOVE MULTIPLE PROGRAMS AT ONCE

You can easily remove even multiple applications in Soft Organizer by simply selecting all programs you don’t need anymore and clicking "Uninstall".

• "SILENT" PROGRAM INSTALLATION

For those setup packages that support silent install, you can install applications in the "no questions asked" mode in one click.

• EXPORT THE LIST OF INSTALLED PROGRAMS TO HTML

When you contact the support staff of a company, they may ask you about the programs installed on your computer. You can easily get such a list in a few clicks. The list is saved as an HTML file that is easy to open and to read.

• SORTING AND GROUPING OF THE LIST

The list of programs can be sorted by various parameters (install date, tracking status, title, and others) for instant search for given apps in the list.

• PROGRAM QUICK SEARCH FUNCTION

With quick search, you can find a desired application almost immediately, as long as you know its title or a portion of it. The list dynamically shortens as you type the text in the search box.

• AGENT TO DETECT INSTALLER LAUNCHES

The Agent allows you to detect if an installer is launched and initiate installation tracking without manually starting Soft Organizer.

• BUILT-IN AUTOMATIC UPDATE MECHANISM

Soft Organizer automatically updates to new versions. You don’t need to visit the website of the program or download or install the tool manually. You simply click the Update button, and the program does the rest.

Soft Organizer was previously known as Full Uninstall.

ChemTable makes an excellent registry editor called Reg Organizer ($39.95 for 2 computers) which includes much of the basic uninstall capability of Soft Organizer, without the program management features like update checking.

Is this more a competitor for Total Uninstall, i.e., monitoring/tracking installations?
