IObit Uninstaller also takes a look at your web browsers to identify any plugins that could be uninstalled to speed up your surfing. If you've already uninstalled a program but suspect it's left mucky footprints across your drive, IObit's deep scanner can hunt down junk including broken shortcuts and caches created when installing software updates. Its smart, clear interface displays a list of all your installed software, with extra tabs if you're only interested in the newest programs (if you've tried something new and don't like it), and the biggest ones (which will have the greatest impact on system performance). IObit Uninstaller Free gets right down to business, scanning your system for installed software the moment it starts. You'll also be able to empty your recycle bin with a single click, and delete your browser history.

Software uninstallers also provide a handy way to manage browser extensions and plugins, and remove any that you don't use. Once they've been purged, the software will then perform another scan to track down and wipe out temporary files and old registry entries, freeing up valuable space and ensuring you don't run into problems when installing a newer version of the same software later on. Third-party software uninstallers can do a more thorough job, quickly scanning your system for all installed programs, and letting you select several at once for removal.
