PCWorld's TipWorld New Product Gossip of the Day:PowerCleaner Pro.CLEAN UP YOUR ACT "Alpha Software, maker of about a jillion clever Windows utilities (System Selector being one of the Crustmeister's favorites), will soon sell you the ultimate uninstaller package for Windows 98--PowerCleaner Pro. An advanced file-management system, PCP (unfortunate acronym there, eh?) gets rid of hard-drive clutter and unwelcome Web downloads by safely and thoroughly removing them without accidentally tossing out the good stuff (like that one DLL that makes all your Internet apps work). Once PCP is installed, it monitors all subsequent software installations and Internet downloads to ensure safe and comprehensive removal of unwanted files. You also avoid the risky, tedious, and annoying chore of removing unwanted files manually. In Alpha Software's tests, PowerCleaner Pro removed more files safely than CleanSweep Deluxe, Norton Uninstall Deluxe, and Uninstaller. The product works by building a complete database of programs on your hard drive and examining the shared relationship among files using the SecureLinks technology; that way the software can uninstall one program without running the risk of destroying others. The SecureLinks feature also ensures that PowerCleaner Pro will not delete shared files when cleaning up preexisting hard drive clutter. "PowerCleaner Pro is not just an uninstaller--it maintains your hard drive at optimum performance by offering truly useful disk space management and Internet protection capabilities," said Richard Rabins, CEO of Alpha Software. "Only PowerCleaner Pro combines the best monitoring with the best search technology to provide the safest and cleanest uninstall. It digs deeper than other uninstallers to find hidden files and perform risk-free cleanups." Always good to clean up after yourself, the Oracle at Shellphi opines. The program will sell for $29.95.
