I haven't tried the uninstaller..but had run a registry scan and fixed it. Next time I open a .mp4 file, it won't open. This software is unable to distinguish between what's important and what's redundant. A combination of Ccleaner and IoBit uninstaller will do the job much more efficiently.

I never received the key. I checked all folders too. It looked like a great program too.

After reading all the comments, I guess I won't be raining on anyone's parade when I say Ashampoo can't even Uninstall it's OWN software.

I was once a big Ashampoo fan, until one day I tried out a program that totally *rearranged* all the folders on my Desktop. (It wasn't supposed to do that!) I contacted Ashampoo and asked how to get everything back to normal - - and spent the next two hours doing all they said, and getting nowhere. We even tried using their built-in "uninstaller" to remove their software and it wouldn't remove. Even my laptop's own uninstaller couldn't get rid of it. The Ashampoo "tech" person finally gave up, saying they had exhausted all options. Leaving me, of course, with some software that didn't work right and about 30 folders that needed to be rearranged.

Since then, I've been very careful about using Ashampoo programs. (Altho I still have a few I got here that I like very much.)

I installed Uninstaller 5 on Win 10 Pro and registered it! I had a number of previous GOTD's that were taking up space and got started right away with good success as it was able to handle the associated files scattered about as well!

I do use a number of Ashampoo Programs and didn't have need for this one but as I dug into the optional features I found the interface easy and access to many of the system and resource features within Win 10 quite useful. I will admit that the novice user could get into some trouble if they do some of the things offered. Normally the novice would be happy with the standard MS options!

I am going to keep this! ---- Thank You Ashampoo & GOTD

I never have problems with this site but I just can't get this program to install. When I click on the "get free activation key" it just sits there. I want this program but time is running out. The last version of this I have is 3.... really want this one. Help! Windows 10 64 bit.

If you insist on installing ANYTHING by this company, use a secondary email address
As far as third party uninstallers like this one go, it's very useful provided the software to be uninstalled was monitored during installation by the uninstaller - that software will be completely and thoroughly removed. Any old software on your PC will be uninstalled in a manner similar to windows built in uninstaller plus a removal of SOME registry entries attributed to the software that is removed.

That being said, as someone that d/l and installs a lot of software, I find this GOTD useful.

The download and registration was very easy. I used the Uninstaller to remove the Bing bar from my system. (no worry's Microsoft will reinstall fast enough)
The program will not recognize all files that pertain to the uninstall unless it monitored the installation.
If the program monitors your installation it does a good job, but I highly recommend you do a restore point.
The programs on my system that monitor things are an enemy to me as it uses system resources. (can be shut off)
If your a gamer you know what I mean.
The extras that are provided with the program I could write a 2 page report on them alone.

With all that said I am a Ashampoo user for more years than I care to think about. This program is not up to the regular quality that they offer with so many of the programs. (very sad)
With that said a thumbs down on this one.

This program worked better than the free Revo Uninstaller in uninstalling Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit. Revo did not even find the installation to begin with. Impressed!

hello folks,

ok, still can't get a download from this new sight, I wish they had continued the email downloads or continued them where I could see them! anyway I downloaded the app from the website with the link that was provided by someone, can someone give me the address to send my request for a key to please?
and as to the comments by folks to the other visually impaired user here, thanks to those who gave a "hey no problem" reply, and although you ment well, the one who said "why don't you try" its a case of what works for each of our visually impairements, one thing works for one of us, and something else for another!

laters,
BCU

I use Advanced Uninstaller Pro 11, which has always done the job well for me and for free.

I use Your Uninstaller! It will uninstall everything, if a program requires restart, it will wait till after it has gone thru the registry. I am actually afraid to switch but I really like Ashampoo programs also.

Good program, it does what it is supposed to do. No problems with registration. Appreciated. Thanks

For those using a Hotmail account, I used my Hotmail email address and the email for the download link was sent to "Junk" or spam. Downloaded fine.

This program worked better than the free Revo Uninstaller in uninstalling Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit. Revo did not even find the installation to begin with. Impressed!

I can't get past the 'get a key'. It won't activate for me. Windows 10 64 bit

This program is a failure because the installation monitoring "feature" frustrates users and makes the process intolerable.
Ashampoo needs to go back to the drawing board and redesign the software. Throwing in lots of unrelated extra utilities is like an after thought. Sophisticated buyers want to buy 1 software that is excellent for 1 particular use. Not an average software with 10 unrelated utilities to entice buyers that you get more for your money.

I 've paids softwares and giveaways. I really like the products of the Ashampoo company. They are solids, with good usability and transparency in the use of resources / services. Free upgrades or ultra discount. Thanks GAOTD.

"when you start to install a program,the way Ashampoo makes you wait while it scans the system, then afterwards you have to start the program (not possible when a restart is required by the program) so that it can scan again, makes it a very tedious uninstaller."

I don't like the sounds of that. I don't use that option with other uninstallers; people say to be safe with them you need to shut down every program other than the one you're installing.

Ashampoo says: "Our developers have discovered a new way to monitor your system during installations providing maximum accuracy at minimum system resources. In Ashampoo UnInstaller 5, performance is king."

Is it really true that you don't have shut down all your other programs when Ashampoo Uninstallers is doing its realtime monitoring?

Can you not get Ashampoo Uninstaller and opt out of realtime monitoring with it?

Think will pass even tho seems to have bunch of 'extras'. I mean if Revo works ok even when a program required being restarted after installing, why not this one. Wise 360 also ok. I guess if don't have an uninstaller it's worth it to try. Careful of Ashampoo habit of emailing lots of junk.

I beg of you to go back to the old webpage. This new one is too big and bulky and confusing. Let the negative votes begin on me.

I always get my serial key super fast. Like 5 seconds later. Have been a frequent downloader of Ashampoo giveaways. The website recognises my email and password to their server.

This software gives impression of slowness because of a feature called Installation Monitoring 2.0.
Ashampoo UnInstaller 5 monitors file and system operations in real time during your install.
If you don't like that maybe you can turn that off. Not sure if you can.

Some one else has done an excellent review of Ashampoo Uninstaller comparing it against Iobit Uninstaller and Revo Uninstaller.
Roundup of Software Uninstallers - Reviewing IObit vs Ashampoo vs Revo. You can read it here.
Rusen's review shows that Ashampoo's Installation Monitoring can be a big headache if you tru to install certain software.
Worse, if you did not allow Ashampoo to create a log during installation, then you will not be able to use Ashampoo Uninstaller to uninstall. Unfortunately the log system of removal is not accurate and sometimes remove files needed for other important software that you want to remain in your PC.
Looks like this is a work in progress and Ashampoo will improve it in future.

In the spirit of giving the customer MORE, Ashampoo has slapped on many additional utlities unrelated to Uninstallation of software. Such as:

Registry Optimizer
Find Duplicates
Startup Tuner
Font Manager
Link Checker
System restore Manager
Service Manager
Undeleter
Clean system
File Wiper + Disk Scrubber
Drive Cleaner
Internet Cleaner

Oh dear, this is a dreadful mistake. They threw in everything including the kitchen sink. MORE is not Better.
You are strongly advised not to trust the slapped on "Registry Optimiser" until you have had strong endorsements from people who have cleaned their PC registry with this and come out unscathed.

I will continue using portable freeware Revo Uninstaller.

Tried V4; bad. Advanced Uninstaller PRO found a number of leftover items after this did its' thing; uninstalled.

Waiting for next Soft Organizer Giveaway. Much more intuitive to use to monitor install and uninstall complete program. Also possible to track those few awkward programs that need a reboot to complete installation. Although that is tedious as it requires a complete scan both before and after reboot to see what final change is made. Skipping that probably will not leave behind anything too critical. My guess is 99% of all traces will still be removed.

Unable to obtain a free activation key.

I AM NOT SHOUTING BUT AM VISUALLY IMPAIRED AND MUST USE ALL CAPS TO SEE WHAT I AM TYPING--OKAY?

I LIKE THIS PROGRAM, HOWEVER I'VE PAID FOR THE PRO VERSION OF REVO UNINSTALLER AND DON'T USE ANYTHING ELSE AS IT SUITS MY NEEDS AS WELL AS HAVING OTHER USEFUL UTILITIES. THE FREE VERSION OF REVO UNINSTALLER IS ALSO GREAT! BUT THANKS FOR THE OFFER GOTD!

I downloaded ran setup and entered email. Now it is asking for a password.
Too much to remember. I guess I'll just pass on this.

Unable to obtain a free activation key. Ashampoo Home unresponsive

Is it as good as Wise care 365? I have found that to be good, but your comment says you found it to be the best there is. Anyone know differently? I hate to have too many programs that do the same job, but if one is better I will always go for it. Thanks for any comments about this please...

Thanks again for a great giveaway. I like Ashampoo's products.

I already use the paid version of Uninstaller 5 on my desktop PC, and it is a solid fully featured program that is easily as good as Revo Uninstaller which I also have.
If you haven't got an uninstaller program, this one from Ashampoo is about the best you can get!

ARE YOU NO LONGER SUPPLYING A LINK TO THE PROGRAM'S WEB PAGE?
