Good program but

Pros: Great program, if used in conjuction with other spyware (if your only using one and hoping your covered, you have alot to learn).

Has great autorun features

Cons: Real-time protection will NOT work with networked HP printers. I have a networked HP printer, and trying to print on it while ST is running is impossible. Even when installing the HP software with ST's Hipps on install mode. Only time Ive ever had a problem with the printer.

Not worth the price

Pros: So I bought the pro version. It scans fast and tells you if stuff if up to date. It trys to download updates of your stuff for you, or provides a link to the website where you can get the update.

I only use it to scan and see what is out of date, then i update from teh actual program itself or from the programs website, i dont use Version Tracker for this as it only works ~10% of the time.

So Excellent scanner to see what is out of date, but not worth the money for that.

Cons: It counts betas as new versions.

Sometimes it says my version of something is out of date, yet it has the same version listed as the newest.

You can downlaod updates through version tracker, but only some will actually update something. About half will actually downlaod through version tracker. Of those, only a handful will install.

It will send you to the correct website for SOME programs to get the updates if it cant download them.

Sometimes you dont want to update stuff, like free versions of programs that came with your computer or something, where you would have to pay for the new version. If it has a "hide" feature for these programs it either dosent work (i dont remember) or it needs one.

Best of the best

Pros: Opens faster than Windows Add/Remove

Allows you to hide programs so other users or yourself dont accidently uninstall something you want around (easily unhidden if needed)

Runs the uninstaller of program you are removing, then scans for leftover folders/files and then the registry. Allowing you to decide what you want deleting off of your computer.

Has removed 4 progams that Windows Add/Remove could not (old game remenants).

Hunter mode is great, just put the target on the icon, shortcut, window, toolbar, icon in the tray, and it will uninstall it. Can also right click and uninstall with Revo.

I have never used anything this good before for an uninstaller.

Cons: If you do not understand registrys, you could make a few mistakes. Occasionally (about 30% of the time) after scanning the registry after an uninstall, when it opens the resistry leftovers window, the actual registry files of the program will not be checkable, the directory will be. Make sure to open all the directorys to get to the correct file (only ones that come up).
