How to Uninstall Programs

1. Launch the TuneUp Uninstall Manager module by going to the Optimize System category in the

Start Center and selecting Uninstall unneeded programs in the Reduce system load area.

Alternatively, you can start the module by going to Overview of all functions in the Start Center and

selecting the Uninstall entry under Installed programs.

Before the program starts, the startup screen may appear for the Rating function for pro-

grams. Here you can decide whether to enable this feature and click OK (read more about

this under How to Turn On the Rating Function, p. 145).

TuneUp Uninstall Manager shows you a list of all installed programs. In the menu bar, click Organize

to sort the table by column or select a filter under View to display only selected programs. This will

help you quickly identify what programs you no longer use or which take up the most space.

2. If you select an entry from the list, additional information on the program is displayed in the Details

area on the right.

You will see details of the manufacturer, installation date, date of last use, size of program files on

your hard disk, system usage and rating of the program.

If, despite the statistical data that TuneUp Uninstall Manager shows you, you are not sure whether

you wish to uninstall a program because you do not know what it contains, click on Online search in

the toolbar. A web page opens displaying the results of the search for the program selected in the list.

This page provides detailed information on the program. This information will also help you to decide

whether you should uninstall a program or not.

The Rating column is also helpful for your decision-making process. This provides you with infor-

mation on how useful you and/or other users of TuneUp Utilities found the program. If you have not

yet provided a rating, you can rate it now. The ratings of other users are called up by TuneUp Utilities

from a serverdatabase and displayed. These ratings are automatically updated regularly.

3. Click Uninstall to remove a program.

To remove a program correctly from your computer, highlight the entry and click Uninstall. You can

also double-click on the entry.
