To start it press its button in the lower part of the Commands Panel. Using a log from the Logs Database is the same as if you have made the log and traced the program yourself. Therefore, even installing Revo Uninstaller Pro on a computer that already has many installed programs that you had not traced, you can still take advantage of the possibility for better and complete uninstallation using the logs from the Logs Database, as you only have to search for the program you want to uninstall, and select click Uninstall.

When you open the Logs Database , by default you will see a list of logs compatible with your version of Windows. The number on the left side of the status bar indicates how many programs are listed based on the current filter settings and any search terms entered.

To start it, you must have opened either the All Programs or the Traced Programs module, and click the Forced Uninstall button on the left side.

This feature helps you locate and remove leftovers of programs that had been uninstalled previously before Revo Uninstaller Pro was installed on the computer , or have been incompletely installed or uninstalled, and there are still remnants of on your computer. Forced Uninstall gives power to the user while maintaining the safe and accurate results. It is important for the name to be as exact as possible, because Revo Uninstaller Pro searches your entire system, and may falsely detect leftovers if you enter an incomplete or inaccurate name.

If for some specific purposes you need to enter more than one name here, you can do that, separating names with a semicolon ;. You can enter the path manually, or you can use the Browse button to locate a file or a folder related to or created by the program you want to uninstall.

You can enter multiple paths. After you enter either of the initial parameters, Forced Uninstall will trigger a search for a built-in uninstaller and any trace logs of the program you want to uninstall. Revo Uninstaller searches for logs based on the entered name among the logs you have in the Traced Programs, as well as the logs in the Logs Database module. If both built-in uninstallers and logs are found, the results are shown in two tabs — Found xx programs and Found xx logs. If there is a built-in uninstaller or several possible uninstallers found, Revo Uninstaller Pro lists them in the same window, so you can choose to run one of them.

If there is at least one log found based on the name you have entered, it is listed with the following information:.

If you want to run the built-in uninstaller before scanning for leftovers, just select the option Run selected built-in uninstaller checked, and click Next. Revo Uninstaller Pro will try to run the built-in uninstaller as usual, and after it finishes, you will have to click the Scan button to continue the uninstallation process with Revo Uninstaller Pro by scanning for leftovers.

Revo Uninstaller Pro has a feature that allows monitoring program installations, and detecting system changes. The process is done in real-time — while the program is being installed. This feature is also very powerful, because by monitoring system changes during the installation, we eliminate the necessity of all scanning algorithms applied during the uninstallation. You can use the installation log for a complete removal of the program, just as if it had never been installed at all.

With this feature, we monitor system changes and we are sure that the changes are made by the installed program. In order for the trace log to be as clean and accurate as possible, each traced program needs to be installed separately. You do not need to stop all already running programs, but you need to not run any new programs or program installations.

You can use the Custom Uninstall mode on Traced Programs , which allows you to mark and uninstall the items you want, so even if by mistake you have started another program or setup, you can still customize the uninstallation of the traced program. Still, it is recommended that you avoid the need for this altogether. The tracing feature has one more advantage — because it works in real time, it does not incur almost any additional time to the time required for the actual program installation.

Beginning a trace takes only a few seconds.. When an installation process is started through Revo Uninstaller Pro, a toolbar will appear at the top of your screen. The installation process will continue in the usual way, and Revo Uninstaller Pro will monitor system changes during the installation. After the program has finished installing, we recommend that you to run it if there are several components to the program, run them all , make any desired changes to its settings, then close it.

That way Revo Uninstaller Pro will log the configuration settings and when you uninstall that program, it will remove these settings as well. Revo Uninstaller Pro will suggest a name for the log. That name will be listed in the Traced Programs tab in the uninstaller. Enter whatever name you wish, or leave it as is, and click the Save button. Some programs require rebooting the computer before you are able to run them for the first time. In that case, you will have to stop monitoring, save the log, and reboot.

Revo Uninstaller Pro has the ability to detect system reboots, and save the log automatically, although in such a case the name of the log will be set by Revo Uninstaller Pro.

Hunter mode is an innovative and flexible feature of Revo Uninstaller Pro, which gives you the ability to uninstall, stop, or delete simply by pointing to application icons on the Desktop or system tray, or opened application windows. To start it click the Hunter mode button in the lower part of the Commands Panel.
