In several articles of this blog we have highlighted that one of the most serious problems of Windows, the fact that every time you uninstall a program it is not completely removed .
Evidence of this problem are those annoying computer slowdowns that afflict users who have installed and uninstalled a more or less large number of programs, applications and software of various kinds.
Very briefly, the key point of the problem lies in the lack of attention of the developers of many well-known applications (for example antivirus), which, perhaps consciously and guilty, distribute poor and partial uninstallation tools leaving unnecessary files and registry keys on the computer.
