Revo Uninstaller Free v2.0.1

[Monroe]

Just came across this article about Revo Uninstaller Free 2.0.1 which is dated September 19, 2016. I didn't know the earlier version Revo Uninstaller 2.0 had been released ... apparently there is an ad in version 2.0 that pops up every third time Revo Uninstaller is opened ... and in the new 2.0.1 version that was removed.

Revo Uninstaller Free 2.0.1 removes ad panel
By Martin Brinkmann on September 19, 2016 in Software

Revo Uninstaller Free 2.0.1 is an update for the free program remover that gets rid of the advertisement panel that VSRevo Group introduced in version 2.0 of the application.

Revo Uninstaller 2.0 was the first update of the popular software uninstaller in three years. It introduced full support for 64-bit applications, a much requested feature as lack of it limited the program's use on PCs running 64-bit versions of the Windows operating system.

The new version improved the tools integrated in the application, changed the user interface, and added new features such as a details pane to it.

Another change introduced in Revo Uninstaller 2.0 was an ad panel that popped up on every third launch of the program.

It advertised Revo Uninstaller Pro, the commercial version of the program. While you could close the panel whenever it popped up, it would appear again on the third launch of the program.

** Further down the page is this:

Revo Uninstaller 2.0.1 does away with the ad panel. That's without doubt a good thing as it improves the user experience quite a bit.

While you won't get the ad for Revo Uninstaller Pro pop up in the interface anymore, you may notice that the company has added new promotions to the interface that advertise the pro version.

If you look at the interface of version 2.0.1 of the program, you will notice two locations that advertise the Pro version.

First through an "upgrade to Pro" button in the main icon toolbar at the top, and then as a text link in the status bar that reads "upgrade to Revo Uninstaller Pro".

Both options are less intrusive than the ad panel that the company used in version 2.0 of the application. Additionally, both can be ignored easily.

You may hide the main toolbar if you don't require it at all. Simply right-click on the toolbar and select "main toolbar" to hide it in the interface.

You can bring it back at a later point in time by right-clicking on the status bar and selecting main toolbar again.

The only other changes in Revo Uninstaller Free 2.0.1 are minor in comparison. According to the changelog, language files were updated and minor bugs fixed.

I don't see any link on the page to download this new version ... there is a link to Revo in the Summary page at the bottom ... then if you click on "Downloads" at the top there is a portable version available.

I have not worked with new portable version yet ... I downloaded and unzipped it ... it is listed as the new version 2.0.1 ... I will try this newer version but for me ... I don't "install and uninstall" many programs these days. Pretty much have everything set up the way I want it and backed up to a DVD. So it will be up to someone else to really test this newer portable version and post any comments.

At first glance, it seems to be OK.
