Going nuts trying to remove software from your PC?  Removing problem software applications from your PC can be a very frustrating experience.  We have found several websites and products however which are dedicated to assisting folks on how to properly uninstall software that is difficult to uninstall. Two have free or trial versions that do a great job. Some have a premium or pro level that does deeper cleaning for really difficult to remove complex software.

At the end of this post are a few links you might want to check out if you are having trouble uninstalling or removing any of the following very complex programs:  Adobe Software, McAfee Anti Virus, AOL Toolbar, AVG Anti-Virus, Norton 2006/2007, Avast!, AVG, ESET NOD32, Internet Explorer 8, OovoO, McAfee, Microsoft Office, Nero, Sims 3, iTunes, Norton Security, and any others that are difficult to remove.  This type of software utility is just simply good to have on your “desktop” because it removes software much better and more thoroughly than the Add / Remove Applications utility fournd in your Windows Control Panel.

Fixing this can make you go completely nuts, and in the process really mess up your PC.

Clean Me Up Scotty!! Sometimes PC registries get so messed up that you have to clean them or you can’t use Add/Remove properly.  Even after using a special uninstaller program you may still need to clean up your registry if the uninstaller did not have an automatic registry cleaner built into it. Perfect Uninstaller requires the paid version to get the registry cleaner.  If you have pre-existing PC registry problems you may have to run a good registry repair tool like RegCure first. You can find RegCure and many other top free PC optimizer software, tools, uninstallers and utilities over at Rockbridge Downloads in their Freeware Section available for immediate download. We recommend RegCure if you have severe registry problems! It works great.

Good luck…

P.S. we don’t recommend that you try and fix your PC registry manually by hand. Use a good automated registry cleaner like those mentioned in this article unless you know exactly what you are doing. Messing with your PC registry is a sure way to crash your entire PC’s windows operating system and end up with a permanent visit from the dreaded “blue screen of death” !
