  nice to see you here g.martau
  
  this is a very specialized program wich works very well for what it´s intended for,
  i´ve bought pro version some months ago & have no regrets whatsoever! (although not the version offered here)
  
  for thoose having faith in default uninstallers should at least trial this piece of software,
  one gets really surprised what most default uninstallers leave on your pc (files\registry).
  
  i have yet to see any third party uninstaller comparable to total uninstall, that´s how good it is,
  i´m using total uninstall almost daily both my own pc and virtual machine and im very pleased.
  
  thumbs up for this software!
  gavrila martau also seems quick with support & has his very own techforum.

  Hello Mr. Martau,
  
  thank you for your answer. Will it be possible to upgrade from Standard to pro and if yes at what cost?
  
  Thanks!
• Sep 22 2009 4:28pm
  Gavrila Martau (Gavrila Martau Vendor)
  Upgrade to Professional Edition is possible roughly at the cost of the difference between editions full price ($11 to upgrade to Professional Edition - Single Computer).

  sorry for asking again but am I right and can you confirm that with your offer here + upgrade I can get the Pro Version for $26?
  
  What do I have to do to upgrade to Pro. I can't find how to buy the upgrade on your homepage?
  
  And - sorry for sounding stupid - but why not offer the Pro version also for $26?
  
  Thanks for making this great software.

  Is this compatible with Windows 7 64 bit?
• Sep 23 2009 1:07am
  Gavrila Martau (Gavrila Martau Vendor)
  Jon:
  Total Uninstall is compatible with operating systems starting with Windows 2000 to Windows 7 including 64 bit editions.
  
  Andy:
  Yes, if you upgrade to pro edition the total cost will be $26. The upgrade link will be soon made available on the purchase page (now there is only in the forum). There are some reasons why we don't offer the PRO edition here.

  does it come with lifetime updates?
• Sep 26 2009 2:19am
  Gavrila Martau (Gavrila Martau Vendor)
  No, we offer for one year free updates and upgrades.

  Can it re-install a uninstalled program? I mean make a backup before uninstalling something. If so, what is the procedure?
  Is it possible to transfer the license from one PC to another?
• Sep 26 2009 1:29pm
  Gavrila Martau (Gavrila Martau Vendor)
  Current version doesn't backup uninstalled program but this feature will be available soon.
  Yes, it is possible to transfer the registration from a computer to another without any problem but not back and forth.

  Will family or five computers and above license also be here?
• Sep 27 2009 4:03am
  Gavrila Martau (Gavrila Martau Vendor)
  At this moment, we see for this kind of deals only single computer licenses. There is possible to extend the number of licensed computers, at a request if this option is not yet officially available on the product site. See previous comments how the license upgrade cost is calculated.
• Sep 27 2009 7:19am

  Will the version with backup feature available soon? Could I get that version for free as an upgrade if I buy the uninstaller during the promotion?
  Could I stay with an out-dated version of the product without renewing the subscription and be able to transfer the license?
  Is there any plans in the future for free lifetime upgrade licenses?
  
  Thanks for your answer

  I've been using the last free version of Total Uninstall for the last two years. I've downloaded the version offered here but before installing, I'd like to know if I must first uninstall my older version. And, if I must, will all its files and information be lost?
  
  Thanks.
• Sep 27 2009 2:17pm
  Gavrila Martau (Gavrila Martau Vendor)
  The backup feature is already implemented in the development version so will be available in the next version. Of course, this will be a free update for users of this promotion. For one year, you can benefit from free updates or upgrades for the program. After this period, the program will continue to work and also can be transferred to another computer. After one year, without renewing the license you will not get any update.
  At this time, there is no plan for a lifetime license.
  Total Uninstall 5 is a completely independent program and it works in parallel with any previous major version like 2.x, 3.x, 4.x. So is not necessary to uninstall the free version 2.x. Because your version is very old you must convert first the log files to version 4 using the tool http://www.martau.com/archives/tun2to4.rar and then use the File-Import from Total Uninstall 5 (http://www.martau.com/tu_bk_compat.php).

  Can you direct us to the forum post that has the link to upgrade the standard edition to the pro edition for $11?
  
  Thanks!

  Upgrade link from Standard to Professional edition is available at the end of the following page (registered 5.x users):

  At the request, we send instructions for other upgrade combinations.

  I already have a trial version of TU installed. Do I need to reinstall a new version when I purchase or just activate the currently installed version with the license key?
• Sep 29 2009 8:28am
  Gavrila Martau (Gavrila Martau Vendor)
  Just register the installed trial. Download button from this page link to the official trial that you already have installed (version 5.4.2)

  Anyone knows how does this sw compare to Revo Uninstaller? (which is free).
  I've been using Revo for a while and it works great.
  Thanks.
• Sep 29 2009 10:30am
  Doug A (Visitor)
  CA, I believe the main difference between Revo (which I use) and Total Uninstaller (which I have used the free version previously and plan to buy today) is that TU has a "monitor" mode. You start TU, then start your new program installation. When the program is finished, tell TU that it is done. TU records all the changes made during the installation, making for a very clean uninstall if you decide you don't want the program you just tried.

  Hello Gavrila Martau.
  I have just bought a license, and I would like to upgrade to Pro version and get an extra license for a PC that I rarely use.
  Could you send me instructions for this upgrade combination?
  Thanks.

  It looks to me like you HAVE to buy the extended download service at $14.99. Some deal!
• Sep 29 2009 10:27pm
  J T (Visitor)
  @David Dinwiddie, just click the trash can icon in the column to the right of the extended d/l service and the order page will reload with the total $14.97 recalculated.

  David Dinwiddie (Visitor)
  Thanks for the tip! I just completed my order.

  Will I be able to purchase the Pro version at the same percentage discount price?
• Mar 14 2010 4:47am
  Gavrila Martau (Gavrila Martau Vendor)
  No, we don't offer the Pro edition here. However, the upgrade to Pro edition is possible on the program site for an additional $11.
• Mar 15 2010 12:35am
  Jon Koerner (Superstar)
  Thanks for reply. But... what I really need is the 4-computer "Family Pack" Pro license (retail price = $50). Many BitsduJour customers have 3-4 computers, and many of us are advanced-expert users. So this is not a good target market for the single-user Std license.
  
  Why not just expand today's sale to include the Pro and Family Pack options?? You'd sell a lot more than you're going to get with the 1-user Std license. Thanks
• Mar 15 2010 4:03am
  Alberto Sanchez (Visitor)
  Same opinion, not interesting in single-user standard license.

  since last time gavrila martau were on bdj there is a now a new very nice feature restoring your programs, i think this is included in the standard edition of total uninstall,
  thoose times when i recover my os i have tested this function a lot, and you all should know what a timesavior this restore function is, although there are certain programs i would avoid using it with.
  ---
  i use pro and i also wondered why you not sell it here gavrila
  it makes sense and less trouble for your potential pro buyers
  ---
  now martau is very devoted to this program, i like that, if you find a bug be sure he steps on the pedal fixing it and besides this being the best uninstaller on the market, it´s also a crucial tool for me analyzing changes on my desktop, i really like it...
  
  once again have a great sales day

  There are chances that during this promotion to have here the fixed 14.98USD discount valid for other program licenses (we are waiting for the BitsDuJour staff approval to publish the purchase links).
• Mar 15 2010 6:39am
  Marian E (Visitor)
  I am also interested in the Pro Version, if possible Family Pack. Hope it will be approved from BitsDuJour :)

  The purchase links to other license types are available, just press the "Buy Now" button to see them..
• Mar 15 2010 10:13am
  Guy Simmons (Shooting Star)
  A program like this is difficult to test in the limited time that the offer is valid. Are there any independent reviews about how effective it is?
• Mar 15 2010 12:58pm
  Jon Koerner (Superstar)
  I see that I was right - I've created a riot of other people who also wanted the 4-computer Pro license. And, I see that the Buy button now has new links to the Pro version and the Family Packs -- hooray! -- thanks, Gavrila and Roger!
  
  But --- the new links are giving just a flat $14.95 discount, not a 50% discount. Is that the intention? So that is only a 30% discount on the "Family Pack" Pro license, not the 51% discount that was advertised initially. Boo-hoo... :--( It's a little baity-and-switchy, but then, I suppose us beggars shouldn't be too choosey about a gift horsey, eh?...

  I have a question, after playing with the trial and looking at the product website page comparing the Std and Pro versions:
  
  1. What does "Agent to notify launched setup programs" mean? (A feature of the Pro version that's not in the Std)
  
  There are also several other features in that list whose meaning is not clear, and I wish they had links to explain more fully what they are. Like:
  View and apply pending file rename operations
  Export registry for uninstall or re-install
  Create custom profiles (analyze, scan, compare, uninstall)
  
  Can you point me to where I can find explanations of what these things are?
• Mar 15 2010 1:33pm
  Jon Koerner (Superstar)
  A question about a potential problem with the program, after playing with the trial:
  
  IF, during a lengthy installation, the user is simultaneously doing some other tasks on the computer (just ordinary tasks, not simultaneously doing another installation), or IF other running programs on the computer are doing things (e.g., an antivirus program downloads some definition updates, or etc.), THEN, after the installation completes, Total Uninstall's record ("profile"?) of the changes made by the installation process will include other, irrelevant things, changes in the system that occurred during the install process but which were caused by those other activities.
  
  So, if one were to use that profile later, e.g., to reinstall the program, 6 months later, after it had been uninstalled, then this reinstallation would be replicating those irrelevant changes.
  
  Seems to me that this could cause some problems. Such as: it might replace current virus definitions with 6-month old ones, or replace a current email inbox file with one from 6-months ago.
  
  So how can I prevent such problems? How to remove the irrelevant things from the installation profile? Maybe (hopefully) Total Uninstall provides a way to deal with this, but I just have not yet found it. Thanks.

  The discount is a flat amount, the extra links are for your convenience to avoid additional upgrades to other license types or editions.
  You can find an answer to your questions if you press F1 to get help.
  The Agent is a stand alone program that will notify you that an installation program was started so you don't forget to start to monitor an installation, if you wish.
  The profiles are sets of settings that can be easily applied. Built in profiles can be edited in the Standard edition, new profiles can be added only in Pro edition.
  The modified files are not restored at uninstall (are only recorded in the log during install).
  You have a complete control of the installation log, and you can remove any extra detected change. You can configure the program to ignore all kinds of changes from the system including the antivirus update folder.
  The registry export will create a .reg file containing the changes made by the monitored program (this can be a file with install instructions that will reapply the registry changes or can have the uninstall instructions to remove the entries added at install time or recreate the deleted entries at install time)

  hi jon, what you should do first is monitor your own operating system, record for lets say 20-30 minutes common tasks, when done press program is installed, from this log add exlusions, (right click in the logpane - add to scan exclude) ..
  this is recommended procedure first run
  
  monitored mode:
  you shouldn't mess with other stuff when recording\monitoring, the more silent machine during install the more perfected snapshots, irrelevant files&values just remove or exclude them from your logfile.

  Thanks, Gavrila, for prompt replies! I am very positively impressed both by the software program and by your excellent attentiveness to customers. I'm sold, and will purchase the Family Pack Pro license now! Keep up the great work!

  I've been using another program (Revo Uninstall) that seems to do the same thing as Total Uninstall, and it is free. So far I've been very pleased.
  
  Can you highlight the features or functionality Total Uninstall provides that Revo does not? Thank you.
• Mar 15 2010 6:14pm
  T Raynor (Superstar)
  I have also used Revo for years with good results. However with the 64bit product being $39 for one license, I am investigating other products. With the discount on the family pack, thinking about giving this one a try.
