| Bug summary | Uninstaller lists hundreds of incorrect files for a single uninstall |
| Description | Here's an even stranger behaviour. 4th and (hopefully) last email cocerning the uninstaller tonight. Was wanting to uninstall remnants for Safer Networking Limited Hive Manager (confirmed on the spybot website that they did have such a program). Clicked custom uninstall and there were 4 seemingly relevant registry keys ... went to files and there were 1193 file system references from dozens of programs listed. The file folder C:documents and settingsall users was listed and I imagine that the listing was it's entire contents. Could do some serious damage to delete this. |

| Comments from developer |
The Software Uninstaller works based on approximations, this means that sometimes data not relating to the actual software might be listed by the Custom Uninstall.
This will not, however, happen when using the Uninstall button, and it will ask permission for all file removals from the user. |
