This is a great uninstall program for 32-bit & 64-bit programs. It has a lot of other tools included; file & registry tools, Internet browser tools, PC reporteranalyzer, start-up & service managers, privacy cleaner, start menu cleaner, font manager, control panel manager, web tools and PC health check. What "Raptozilla" was complaining about was the PC health check program. Even though you check for AU Pro to not start up, the health check program will still start up. This is rather annoying. Use Autoruns to stop the exe file from starting up.
It does a thorough scan after you have uninstalled a program. Make sure you don't have many files on the desktop or it will take a long time.
The only thing I don't like about it is the interface. The functionality works, but it is too retro looking. It still looks like it belongs to XP. I think the GUI needs a more modern look, but not necessarily a Win8 Metro style, though many may prefer that.
Overall it is a good uninstall program even though you may not need the extra ones included in it.

I use Iobit and Revo but decided to give this uninstaller a try to see if it was any better than those two. I installed the Advanced Uninstaller software, but before I could use it to uninstall anything, a problem related to the software developed.
Upon every starting of the computer, Advanced Uninstaller did a scan of several areas, and I got a popup telling me that the scan had detected things that needed to be rectified. Since I really wasn't interested in this feature of the software, I went to the setting to see if I could keep it from doing the scan at startup. There is a box there that be unchecked to keep Advanced Uninstaller from starting with Windows, so I unchecked it and saved the settings.
The next day, I again got the popup, and when I checked the setting to keep it from starting with Windows, it was checked, so I unchecked it again and saved the settings. To make a long story short, this happened for the next several days, so I just uninstalled the uninstaller.

This is excellent software! Even though it's free it will remove most of the traces left in the registry and other folders/files left back from the uninstalled software with the added bonus of telling you that: "2 files or folders couldn't be removed" so that you can go to Program Files/Data and App Data and remove them manually!
I've tried it's major competitor, which has a free version but this version always told me that it was done with no leftovers and this was not true since Uninstaller Pro managed to find those missed files!
This said if you work with Notebook resolutions of 1200x600 or less (CRT) the interface won't work on your screen size... Bummer!
