A tool to do some major house cleaning of what AOL & AIM install with their latest installers. For more info read "Recovering from AOL's Installed Tools" posting at the "MR Tech Tip & Tweaks Forum".
It currently prompts you to pick the uninstallation and removal of any of the following "non-critical" AOL or AIM installed programs:
AOL Coach 1.0 & 2.0
AOL Computer Check-Up 2.0
AOL Deskbar
AOL & AIM IE Toolbar
AOL Spyware Protection & Data
AOL You've Got Pictures Screensaver
Pure Networks Port Magic
Viewpoint Media Player
WeatherBug
Wildtangent & Wildtangent User Data
Removal of AIM Backup Installers
Note: for components that AOL may need later, it will reinstall them accordingly.
It then it will read registry locations of each component and uninstaller, then will try to run the uninstaller, remove files/directories based on registry locations, clean up most clsid entries and will then cleanup common installation paths for other lingering files.
