Reviewing 2.5.3 (Nov 20, 2009)
I previously used RevoUninstaller. Smarty ups the ante a bit detecting recently installed apps and "possibly broken installations", it will also finish incomplete uninstalls.
My only real criticism is its fairly slow and long routine when it starts.
No big deal that it calls the programs uninstaller and runs it!
I let it detect all the rubbish left behind - folders, shortcuts and registry entries and let it clean out the lot. So far (!) it hasn't broken anything - and I've used it a lot over 5 or 6 months - so i'd say it is very safe and reliable - whether it (or Revo for that matter - actually cleans everything out - I'm not about to go hunting through the registry!
Hard to get too excited about this program - mainly because it does what it is supposed to do without too much fuss. An added benefit (which they don't tell you about) is that it comes bundled with a very good and simple process inspector, a secure deletion tool, and a startup manager.
Runs flawlessly on Win7 too.

sflorack is right. Same problem with programs from the same developer.
Reviewing 1.6.1 (Dec 11, 2006)
Doesn't monitor programs during installation, it just preforms a disk/registry scan upon uninstall. It inadvertently removed good registry keys and caused a few programs to not function properly. (ie removed Google Toolbar for IE, and it removed registry keys for Google Earth.)
I'd recommend running the uninstaller for the program you're trying to remove, and then purchasing a good registry cleaner to handle the rest.

This is an excellent piece of software,not as good as your uninstaller,but still does manage to do things quite efficiently with a better interface!

It does what it says, but they should let us edit the removal list -- add / remove / etc.
Overall, highly recomended. Ill give it a 5.
