Thats a sexy chick you have in your avatar ;)
By the way, iObit is full of crap ware in the toolbox except for a few things. Advanced SystemCare is much better.

Best way to completely remove software is through the uninstaller that comes with the program itself, usually located in the directory with the main executable. Don't use anything else. They don't know how the program got installed on your computer as good as the original uninstaller does. The original uninstaller is designed to uninstall the program by doing everything in reverse from the install itself.
I'm not talking about Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs though. I'm talking about the actual uninstaller located in the program's folder itself.

Why would you need a program to do it for you then? Just more space on your computer that it takes up. I think the other features of the program would be better to use though

It's for files and regkeys that were missed... Obviously you cannot trust the default uninstaller, there are files left behind a majority of the time.

No the default installer is designed to remove everything, and is actually the most trustworthy.

You have not even tried the uninstaller yet. I cannot personally trust the built in uninstaller because a majority of the time it leaves back on average 5-10 files. Sometimes on occasion, even 200. Thats my opinion, and I approve of this message.
