the package withtools to

control your Windows startup

programs, manage running

processes, and clean up

assorted files leftbehind

by other uninstallers.

There’s also improved

supportforremoving

Chrome plugins–even if

they’ve not been installed via

the Chrome store–and

removing really stubborn

applications, including

antivirus programs.
