Remove programs, Windows updates, Windows 10 apps, and browser modules
Aside from applications, IObit sports a separate function for inspecting and removing toolbars and plugins from web browsers, offering support for Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera. It can uninstall faulty Windows Updates too.
Windows 8 users will notice a third pane dedicated to removing Windows apps. There's also a batch uninstall option that basically permits you to select multiple programs to swiftly eliminate them.
How it works with or without user intervention
The tool creates a system restore point as a backup measure, runs the default uninstaller of a program, scans the computer for leftover files and entries, and deletes them. However, apart from the default uninstaller, all these steps and file shredding are optional.
Worth mentioning is that, for some applications, IObit lists a "Quick install" option. This means that it won't pop up any panels for user confirmation when proceeding with their removal. It's also equipped with a "Forced Uninstaller" feature designed for removing otherwise stubborn software components, and for identifying the source of a file or folder.
Additional Windows tools
The utility features autostart and task managers which enable you to remove apps from the Windows autorun launch, as well as to terminate currently running processes. Moreover, an integrated cleanup utility is designed to find and remove invalid shortcuts, Windows patch cache, along with useless downloads from the default download folders of popular web browsers and download managers.
