IObit what kind of program is this:

At first glance, it may seem that Iobit Uninstaller is a useful tool, but in fact, this program does more harm than good. Therefore, the best solution is to remove IObit from the computer completely and forever.

The main disadvantage of IObit is that it requires a lot of system resources to operate, which is why weak computers can seriously slow down. In addition, IObit uninstaller is installed virally without the user’s knowledge, as are Related Searches and QQPCRtp.exe.

For example, installing the Amigo browser will be enough for IObit uninstaller to appear on the system. This tool is introduced into the system and takes away the uninstall function from it, so it will not be possible to remove IObit uninstaller using the standard method. Interestingly, you will not be able to use all the functions without activating the program and entering the license key.

Main features of the Iobit Uninstaller program in Russian:

* Search for programs that are rarely used by PC users;

Hello everyone, IObit Uninstaller is an advanced tool for uninstalling other programs. That is, something like or . It's just that it's less popular. Allows you to remove not only programs, but also toolbars and browser extensions. In general, the deleter is made quite well, I like its design and how quickly it works

After uninstalling the program, IObit Uninstaller scans the system for debris in order to remove it later. But I’ll be honest, I personally think that Revo Uninstaller will find garbage better, it’s still a specialist in this matter.

The only thing that users don’t like is that sometimes it happens that IObit Uninstaller ends up on the computer when installing other programs. Well, that is, such viral marketing is used, so to speak. I read that for some users the IOBIT 360 antivirus installed IObit Uninstaller itself, these are the pies

Previously, the program did not have the Russian language, but now this has been fixed.

So, I launched the program and this is its main window:

This window contains a list of programs that you can remove and then scan the system for remaining garbage. On the left it is indicated that this is the All programs menu, there are also recently installed, large and rarely used programs:

When I clicked on Large programs, I was given this list:

So everything works, the installation date of the program, its size, and version are indicated. And by the way, it’s convenient to see how much the program weighs, no need to dig through folders.

The next main Tab is Panels and Plugins, here you can fully control all extensions in browsers:

Now look what a mess I found. On this tab, that is, on Panels and Plugins, I selected Mozilla Firefox and, interestingly, it was written that the Google Update plugin (1.3.30.3) was installed in this browser. But even if you right-click on this plugin, there will be an option to open the location, well, the folder in which Google Chome is installed will open. That is, this plugin has nothing to do with Mozilla and this is a real glitch. What does this mean? Well, at least that there may be other problems, so be careful...

Here is the actual tab where the Mozilla Firefox subsection is open:

Only SunJavaUpdateSched was shown in startup; this is a Java component for updating.

Among the unsafe processes I found iexplorer.exe and jusched.exe:

Tools tab. For me, the most interesting thing here is the Cleaning subsection. This is removing broken shortcuts and clearing the Windows cache:

You can also clean out your Downloads folder. This dad is usually what you download on the Internet.

Well, that's pretty much how we looked at the tabs.

On the All programs tab there is a checkbox that activates batch removal, here it is:

Thanks to this uninstallation, you can uninstall several programs at once.

There is a force delete function, here's how to run it:

I specified the Yandex browser shortcut to check how the forced deletion would occur:

Then they asked me again if I wanted to delete the browser, I clicked Delete:

There is also a checkbox to create a restore point, this is in case something goes wrong, you can use system restore to return everything back.

In general, what happened then. IObit Uninstaller launched the browser’s built-in uninstaller, there was a message from the browser itself asking if I wanted to remove it, I clicked yes and then it was removed. After this, it was suggested to run Power Scan:

Well, I launched it. And look, this is what IObit Uninstaller found:

To be honest, I don’t understand why the Destroy files checkbox is needed, maybe for advanced deletion. In any case, it is better to install it. Then click the Delete button.

That's it, then there will be a message that everything was deleted successfully:

Now I'll try to simply uninstall a program, such as Microsoft Silverlight. I go to the All Programs tab, right-click on Microsoft Silverlight, and then select Uninstall:

Then I click Delete:

Removal started:

Then we launch Power Scan:

By the way, you can put a checkmark at the bottom so that Powerful scanning always starts automatically.

This time no garbage was found in the system, but it was suggested to install IObit Malware Fighter:

You can get to the program settings from this menu:

There is nothing superfluous here, all options are placed in one window. In principle, you don’t need to change anything, except that you can change the dark theme to white:

The light theme looks better to me:

Although after dark it seems unusual

At the bottom of the IObit Uninstaller window there is a button Upgrade to PRO, but to be honest, apart from extended support, I still don’t understand why the PRO version is better...

In general, I’ve finished the acquaintance, now it’s time to draw conclusions.

Here are my thoughts, so to speak, my review of the IObit Uninstaller program. Pros:

• all the tools are really conveniently located;
• the program works quickly, so to speak, the interface is smart;
• stylish design, there are no questions here, everything is done conveniently;
• FREE, as I understand it, IObit Uninstaller is really free and this is a significant plus;

• For all its beauty, it seems to me that searching for garbage after uninstalling software is not as effective as in;
• in some places the translation is crooked, for example I saw a Delete button without a soft sign; You can’t call this a minus, no, but it makes it clear about the attitude of the developers towards users or, in general, about the seriousness of the software; there are other errors; This information is for you to note;
• Browser add-ons do not show everything correctly, for example, a component from Google Chrome in the Mozilla Firefox subsection; I already wrote about this above;
• sometimes some messages pop up asking you to download some other software from IObit;
• some users on the Internet write that IObit Uninstaller can be installed on the system along with other programs; that is, this is advertising and viral marketing; My opinion is that normal companies do not use this to promote their software; By the way, I advise you to familiarize yourself with these left checkboxes;

In general, it seems like this. Personally, my rating is 50 to 50. Underneath the convenient and beautiful design of the program is hidden a program that is not particularly stuffed with functions... There are reviews that CCleaner is head and shoulders above this program, and in principle I agree with them.

Iobit uninstaller, what kind of program is this - One of the most popular search queries, this happens because usually this program can be found unexpectedly, and only by looking at the task manager.

People are unpleasant that their computer was, in fact, rummaged through without their permission and a utility was installed that they did not ask for, but they can be understood, and it is quite logical that anything installed on your PC without the user’s knowledge does not bring anything good.

But in this particular case, you don’t have to worry, it is not a virus or a malicious application, it is quite normal software that makes it easier for you to communicate with other programs.

But then the question arises, why is it spreading so much? You know, black PR is still fame. Now we will explain to you why you should not be afraid of the program from Iobit, and how to make the most of this situation.

So what is this app?

Iobit uninstaller - designed for personal computers, the main function is to simplify the process of removing any software from your computer as much as possible.

Ironic don't you think? You just googled how to remove something that is designed to remove the same kind of junk. The creators definitely have a sense of humor.

Even if the purpose of the application itself is one-sided, it copes with it as rationally and with the greatest grace. You can read more about how to use the full capabilities in this article.

How to delete a locked file?

As is clear from the above, Iobit uninstaller is specifically designed to remove what is almost impossible to remove for various reasons.

Perhaps this is the main advantage and meaning of this utility, because it often happens that some mail.ru agents that really clog up the RAM and hard memory are almost impossible to remove, because these applications have fairly good protection against uninstallation.

She also takes liberties and offers you a list of applications that you generally, or simply rarely, use.

Thus, iobit is very helpful for drives that clean their computer once a year, that is, for some gamers, that’s the best thing, because it often happens that you installed a game, forgot about it, and it takes up a lot of space. But the utility goes even further, it has a function that is rarely used even on Windows.

However, this time the return point has an advantage: you can independently choose the disk on which it will be stored, and you no longer have to delete them every six months so that you have at least a gigabyte of free disk space.

Which, by the way, is very useful, because among our friends there are craftsmen who, having played with deletion, managed to demolish firewood and even Windows itself, these are, of course, unique cases, but it is better to keep useful files or photos, a thesis, for example, out of harm’s way.

But not so useful, but still used, is a list of deleted programs with the ability to restore them. This is in case you need a small widget, but you don’t want to roll back the system a week ago for the sake of a clock. At this moment, you simply click on this magic button and download the program again!

How to work in it?

There is no specific trick here, the main thing is that when you launch the window for the first time, do not be intimidated by the English interface. It can be changed in the settings, and also separately in the program files, but fortunately this is not so necessary, because the uninstaller interface is intuitive for everyone.

The only problem

The main problem with Iobit uninstaller is that the user finds out about it not thanks to our article, but often by installing some suspicious executable file from another site. Well, now you know more, and you can no longer worry when you see this title!

Over a long period of time working at a computer, in any case, programs or games will appear that are simply useless. To avoid clogging up your hard drive and free up space on it, the best way is to delete them. This is precisely why the iObit Uninstaller program was created. This article will talk about iObit Uninstaller: what kind of program it is, reviews about it and how to use it will be discussed in detail further.

Where to download the program

But before we go into a story about iObit Uninstaller - what kind of program it is and how to remove applications using it, it’s worth telling where you need to download it. Although this question is very simple and does not need a detailed analysis, many people still make serious mistakes.

And there is only one mistake: they download the program from unreliable sources, which, in turn, risks introducing malicious software onto the computer. This is the case due to the fact that Uninstaller is free software and can be downloaded by absolutely anyone, even an attacker. Having knowledge of programming, he can insert a virus into the program. Subsequently, he will upload the already modified program to some file hosting service, from where a gullible user can download it.

It doesn't take a genius to guess what the consequences will be. That is why, when downloading iObit Uninstaller, download it only from the website of the direct developer.

How to remove programs

Now let's move directly to iObit Uninstaller - what is this program and how to use it to remove other programs installed on your computer.

I would like to immediately say the only thing: those who are familiar with the standard Windows utility (programs and components) will easily understand the presented program. This is so because the processes of cleaning a computer from unnecessary things are identical. But clarification is still required so that there are no unnecessary questions.

So, the program has started. Immediately in front of you you will see a list of all programs and games installed on your computer. This is exactly what we will work with. In addition, it is worth paying attention to which is on the left. Now the “All programs” section is selected; we’ll talk about the rest a little lower in the text. This section has four subcategories: all programs, recently installed, large programs, and rarely used. They make it very convenient to find programs to remove.

For example, you want to quickly free up a lot of disk space, to do this, select “Large Programs” and only heavyweight software representatives will be displayed in the list. If you recently installed the program, then it will be located in “Recently Installed”; if you have not used the software for a long time, then it will be in “Rarely Used”.

We have more or less figured out the interface, now we will tell you how to remove the program. And it's very easy to do. All you need to do is select the program to remove from the list and click on the large round “Delete” button. After this, an uninstaller window will open, similar to the program installation window. After uninstallation, you can use the most powerful cleaning; it will remove all additional components that belong to the removed software.

By the way, if you are wondering about iObit Uninstaller (how to uninstall this program), then you can use it to uninstall itself.

How to remove panels and plugins from browsers

Let's continue talking about iObit Uninstaller. We have already figured out what this program is and what it is intended for, but it will help you remove not only other programs, but also plugins with panels from browsers. Now let's figure out how to do this.

In general, everything is very simple. You need to go to the second category in the sidebar - “Panels and Plugins”. All installed objects will immediately appear in the main area. Removal occurs in the same way as in the previous method - you select the desired plugin and click "Delete". By the way, here you can see the rating of the object, it is indicated in stars. In subcategories you can also select the browser in which panels and plugins are installed.

Working with Win Manager

To fully consider iObit Uninstaller (what kind of program it is), we also need to mention one category in the sidebar - Win Manager. This is, roughly speaking, an analogue of the task manager on Windows, only with a more intuitive interface that is convenient to use.

In the "Startup" category, you can quickly and effortlessly turn off, turn on, or remove any of the components by clicking on the corresponding fields. In the "Processes" category, you can instantly close a program. This is especially useful when the program has stopped responding. And in the "Windows Updates" category you can remove an update you don't like. But you should do this with caution, as this can lead to a lot of inconvenience.

That's all, so we figured out what the iObit Uninstaller program is for and how to work with it.
