I got it a couple of hours ago.
I'll put it on the Netbook tomorrow.
Thanks for the tip though.
Happy New Year

I hope it wasn't Peter Foldes or "unknown" because they are touting for
females to work in their escort agency making money by abusing not only
their wives, sisters and grand mothers but also M$ customers' wives,
sisters and grand mothers. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Peter Foldes is a PIMP and he wants to be a millionaire in 2010 by using
his sister and wife..

What Samsung program are you trying to uninstall?

What did Samsung Support have to say about this?

What does Revo do that does not happen through Add/Remove programs?

It looks to me like it just presents the exact same list of installed
programs from the same list but in a different view (fancier) and if
you follow through what it does when you choose to uninstall, it runs
the exact same uninstall that Add/Remove Program does - exactly the
same.

What makes it "better" beside propaganda and the friendlier
interface?

What can you demonstrate with an example of something it does
differently that the Windows uninstall routine?

I can prove it does the exact same thing, so please help me understand
why Revo dies something more/better.

Sometimes I guess a different presentation of the same information
means "better".

The program I'm trying to uninstall is the Samsung Back up to a external
drive.
It's a annoying pop-up when starting up and we don't have a external drive.
As yet Samsung have not replied to my e-mail. (Holiday Break ? ).
I have NOT done anything to the Netbook since our earlier correspondence.
I have downloaded Revo to this computer but NOT put it on the Netbook.
