IObit Uninstaller 5 adds even more PC cleanup power

IObit has shipped IObit Uninstaller 5 with a pile of new PC cleanup and maintenance tools.

A "Win Manager" module allows you to control your Windows startup programs, close running processes, and view or batch uninstall Windows updates, as well as uninstalling Windows 8/10 apps.

The "Cleanup Residual" tool scans your system for files left behind by other uninstall operations, including unwanted downloads, invalid shortcuts and junk in the Windows update cache.

Elsewhere, "Uninstall History" looks for leftover uninstall logs, "File Shredder" securely deletes confidential files and "Windows Tools" has shortcuts to common Windows applets (Services, Task Scheduler, Regedit, more).

Improvements to the core uninstaller means it’s now able to remove Chrome plugins which haven’t been installed via the Chrome Store, while it’s also better able to strip out stubborn programs, including antivirus.

Of course there’s also full support for Windows 10, and the release sees a new interface and two new skins.

IObit Uninstaller 5 is a freeware PC cleanup suite for Windows XP and later.
