How to Uninstall Programs
1. Launch the TuneUp Uninstall Manager module by going to the Optimize System category of the Start
Center and selecting Uninstall programs from 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 programs.
Here you can decide whether to enable this feature and click OK (for more information about
this, see How to Turn On the Rating Function, p. 152).
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 about the program is display in the Details area
to 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 the program rating.
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 tool-
bar. 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 Usefulness 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. TuneUp Utilities calls up the ratings of other users from a server
database and displays them for you. These ratings are automatically updated regularly.
