‘Tis the season to be jolly, and here at Tech Advisor we are teaming up with our colleagues at PC-Welt to offer readers some extra Christmas treats. The first in a series of freebies we’ll be offering over the next few weeks is a completely free licence for Revo Uninstaller Pro 3, which normally costs $24.95 (approx £18.72). There is a catch – you must download it today. This offer is available for one day only, and ends on Wednesday 2 December at 23:59.

Why install Revo Uninstaller Pro 3?

A common cause of a slow PC is a storage drive that’s bogged down with junk files – and, if you have noticed Windows slowing down, it could be time to do some housekeeping. Even if you are in the good habit of uninstalling programs you no longer use, Windows’ own uninstaller doesn’t always do a very thorough job of removing all traces of a program. Sometimes it might leave behind files associated with updates, Registry entries or other bits and pieces, and these all contribute to the clutter. With its one-click Quick Uninstall option, uninstalling a program, toolbar or browser extension using Revo Uninstaller Pro 3 is much faster. Because it keeps a record of all installations, Revo is also more thorough. It can even remove the stubborn programs Windows can’t, and scan your system for traces left behind from previously uninstalled software.

How to take advantage of this free offer

Please note that this offer is limited to version 3 of the software, and updating to version 4 will incur a charge.
