    @PG – Sorry to read about your experiences. It is the first time I see that the program crashes though. But we reviewed version 5.7, and I see they are at version 6.3.3.9 now. The most recent release of January 11, 2012 might have issues that we are not aware of.
    I would suggest you get in touch with the software vendor and give them your feedback.
    As mentioned in comment #4, we prefer SecureUninstaller over PerfectUninstaller after reviewing both.

    What a load of rubbish – keeps on crashing after registering – I now need an uninstall software to remove this “uninstall software”
    NOT HAPPY!

    @Pamela – Sorry to read about your experiences with the uninstaller software. As I mentioned in an earlier comment, antivirus software can be hard to remove since it integrates to tightly into the operating system.
    That is required to offer high levels of security, but makes it more difficult to uninstall.
    Have you had a look at the Trend Micro suggested method of uninstalling Trend Micro software?

  4. Pamela says:

    After numerous, unsuccessful attempts at removing Trend Micro Titanium, I purchased Perfect Unstaller. Not only did it remove some of the Trend Micro files, it removed key Windows 7 registry files rendering my computer unusable. It would lock up when loading. Unfortunately, I was forced to restore my computer back to “inbox” condition. Don’t buy this product!

    Saul
    My experience seemed not unlike yours. I paid for the full perfectUninstaller product but found the serial number provided for registration declared `invalid’. I emailed the company and the response apparently repeated the identical serial number asking whether I now recognised my mistake. I thought either I must be going mad or was the subject of an unpleasant scam – however I again followed instructions given although still unable to keep the product registration window on the screen when trying to `paste’ the serial number to it, I therefore once again transferred it manually only to get the same `invalid’ message.
    Now annoyed I again emailed the company expressing my now hopeless disillusionment – the email I got back was like the Damascene light, explaining everything
    It seems when transferring the serial number I’d failed to notice that the `O’ between four registration numbers was the capital letter `O’ not the number zero as I’d assumed – after making this simple adjustment the registration successfully completed and thereafter the product worked perfectly rapidly and successfully removing persistent discontinued Spyware left on my commuter.
    I’m now pleased with the product – why not consider this possibility Saul to solve your problem.

    You should check out AppRemover (http://www.appremover.com), which is a free tool to completely uninstall security software such as antivirus and antispyware.

  7. Cole Skinner says:

    Do not like “demo” or “freeware” programs that

    a) don’t tell me *before* the download if they’re going to hit me up for a charge later

    b) get my email address before telling me the’re going to hit me up for a charge following that stage of the registration

    c) don’t offer an uninstall option, making me add/remove

    d) then fail to uninstall themselves completely

    This program is total bs.

    @Norm / HisMusicNMe – A lot of antivirus software is very hard to remove. They also know it, so many provide removal tools to delete their software completely.
    Have you had a look at the Kaspersky removal tool?

  9. HisMusicNMe says:

    @Norm – So, what was your other solution to completely removing Kaspersky? I have a LEGACY_kilf folder in the registry that won’t let me delete it (a Kaspersky folder).

  10. Norm says:

    I tried this program…. to uninstall kaspersky 2010 anti virus program. it says it could do it… but it still left the hidden files the regular uninstall program left behind as well…. I found a different solution… BUT! when i went to uninstall Perfect Uninstaller.. The “Perfect Uninstaller” uninstaller said “some components have to be uninstalled manually”…then quit with no farther advice…Making me pause with worry! So the Perfect Uninstaller requires a better Uninstaller to remove it.. leaving me with the question.. What hidden files did it leave behind? and Why? Any insight?

  11. Anthony says:

    @saul – Unfortunately I have seen more complaints about this. Just do a chargeback on your credit card or ask paypal to refund it if you used that.
    Have a look at SecureUninstaller. Kyle reviewed that recently and it is a good alternative.

  12. saul says:

    I purchased perfect uninstaller on sept.7 and when I tried submitting the serial # sent to me, the message came on that it was an invalid serial #. I have sent them numerous emails since then to correct the situation, but I have gotten absolutely no response even though they state that they “promise” to respond within 24 hours. Sounds like a scam to me!

    such as deep freeze. How can i remove it??

    Tom —

    Well, it makes a difference to me. I wouldn’t touch it with a 10 foot pole.

    Fully-functioning trials prove a program’s worth, not useless demos.

    Thanks for the heads-up.
