IE was the only browser installed in the VM. I cleared all temporary files (System and User), emptied IE’s cache and emptied the Recycle Bin.

I thought I would have a look at IObit Uninstaller 4 so tried to download v4.2.6 directly from (rather than from or ). And that’s just what I spotted during a quick trawl through the installation log created by InCtrl5.

I haven’t been a fan of IObit since I discovered the installation of IObit Advanced System Care also added Spigot adware, an unwanted IE BHO, toolbars for IE and Firefox (Firefox wasn’t installed), settings for Safari (Safari wasn’t installed) plus a monitoring program called ToolbarAcceptRate.exe. Boy, it seemed to work great ! It even notified me it was really digging deep to uninstall ALL ruminants of any software I was looking to uninstall.Īnyone else had experiences with this software,….good, bad, neutral ? Shop owner says she has been using this for quite sometime, and is very complimentary about it. I thought might as well try out this IObit uninstaller. So I had occasion to uninstall these unwanted files that had been downloaded. As it so often happens these days my free download of some sort of Zip file that’s was deemed necessary to open the ‘rar file’ came along with some unwanted crap/tracking software (and no warnings or asking permission to download this ‘hidden crap’). I subsequently attempted to download a very simple program to open up a “rar” file to install a driver for a wireless Tenda W311u stick. In the process they installed a program called “IObit Uninstaller” I recently had my old desktop computer worked on by a third party (took Win7 off, and reinstalled XP as my computer did not have a fast enough processor for Win7).
