RogueRemover PRO 1.20

I believe everyone has experienced a small dialog box saying that some elements could not be deleted, after removing a program from their computer. In this case, the leftover files or information need to be manually removed from the installation directory (usually in Program Files) or from the Windows registry. Usually this happens because the program has a badly written code, or it contains items that will misrepresent shareware as freeware in order to try to sell the product. Wither way, you don't want those scraps on your computer.

Therefore, when the 'Add/Remove Programs' feature from Windows can't remove an application completely, 'Rogue Remover' cleans up the unwanted leftovers, thus protecting your computer against such threats. The program has an extensive database of this so-called rogue software, which is continuously updated. It will scan your files, folders, registry keys, and values for unwanted items.

The protection provided by the program is based on real-time computer monitoring and immunization against rogue applications. There is a section of targeted rogue programs where you can find out each program's risk level and a brief description. In case you need to use an application marked as rogue by this program, you can always exclude it from the scan list.

Pluses: It immunizes your computer by protecting you from visiting rogue Websites by adding those Websites to the hosts file.

Drawbacks / flaws:

In conclusion: If your computer protection includes this program and has a very good antivirus with firewall, you may feel safe from all known online threats.
