Uninstall programs completely and monitor installations with Comodo Programs Manager
This is an impressive uninstaller program that will scan for leftover files after program uninstallations to make sure nothing is left behind. It will also monitor your system for program installs and take note of all changes done to your system, so that it can easily roll them back completely. This happens all the time, in the background, and does not require any user intervention.

For monitored installations it can actually create installable packages that let you reinstall the application at a later date with all your customized settings. Continue reading ..
