About Geek Uninstaller
Geek Uninstaller is a popular Windows uninstaller that has been around since 2007. It comes in two versions, Geek Uninstaller Free and Geek Uninstaller Pro.
Although, the Geek Uninstaller Pro is for some rather confusing reason also called Uninstall Tool. The two versions are very different with different user interface and tools, so this comparison tries to include both.
