MAIN FEATURES

Uninstall any program
 Completely removes any monitored application on your computer. After you uninstall a program this feature will search for any references in your computer registry and files. Any remains will be deleted.

Uninstall applications using a database              
 Completely removes any traces of an application installed prior the Comodo Programs Manager installation using a central database.

Make a self extracting Installable Package from a monitored program
 By using the information from the monitoring system, Comodo Programs Manager is able to combine into a self-extracting archive all the data needed for redeployment on a similar machine.

Multiple-uninstall
 Using this feature you can uninstall multiple applications fast and safe.

Manage windows features
 Instant access to add or remove windows components / features.

Uninstall drivers & services
 You have the possibility to safely uninstall unwanted drivers or services from your computer.

Manage windows updates
 Windows updates module lets you manage windows updates on your computer.

Force delete of locked (in use) files and registry entries
 Opened handles on various used files on your system can cause problems. To bypass this and safely delete any file that a installed program uses, we make sure they will be deleted at system restart.

Backup
  Makes a backup using Comodo Backup before uninstalling applications, drivers and services that can be easily restored.

Customized settings for backup
 To protect your information any backup can have password protection, compression and cryptography.

Real-time scan for malware infected setups (uses the malware detection engine from Comodo Cloud Scanner)
 To ensure that your computer stays safe, every time a setup is started, it is also side-checked for malware using our cloud technology.

Language pack updates (Romanian, Estonian, Italian, German, Russian, Korean, Polish)

Command Line Parameters for the Self Extracting Package
   Run SFX scripts without any user intervention.

Force Uninstall option             
   Offers the possibility of uninstalling applications with broken uninstallers.

  Logging capabilities for installed applications and deleted entries.
 
Runtime language change          
  Ability to change the language in real-time.

Add Comodo Programs Manager in Control Panel      
  A good replacement of Add or Remove Programs & Programs and Features (for Windows Vista or Later).

   Share with friends, recommend COMODO and see which friends are using COMODO Programs Manager.

Enhanced Feedback
    Allow users to post their views, comments and suggestions about Comodo Programs Manager.
 

INNOVATION & TECHNOLOGY

Active monitor
 This is a monitoring engine that detects setups and actively keeps track of any changes made to the system. This is achieved in real-time and stores information from detected setups.

Added shell integration (for .exe & .msi files) for manual run & monitor
 In the event a setup is not detected or when the automatic detections is off, you are able to right click a setup (.exe or .msi) and install & monitor it, thus making sure that it will be removed safely.

Improved the storage file system (disk-performance)
 By modifying the internal storage system and storage search algorithms, increased disk-performance is achieved.

Increased efficiency of the monitoring system (less CPU usage)
 By improving the algorithms used, we make sure a false-positive ratio in the setup detection is kept to a bare minimum.

General tweaks, GUI improvements, fixes and optimizations.

On older versions I am sure you could pick to do a complete uninstall or run the standard uninstall of monitored applications, but this build seems like you can only run a complete uninstall??

Cheers

Hi,
In this version the standard uninstall is called in the complete uninstall process unless the 'Force Uninstall' option is checked from the Settings Tab.
Thank you.

does this version automatically monitor programs i install even if i don't have cpm running or do i still have to right click the setup file and choose to monitor setup with cpm for the install to be monitored?

also can cpm monitor addon installs for browsers?

if cpm can monitor addon installs for browsers do i have to manually monitor it or does cpm do it automatically even if cpm isn't running?

It will monitor all installs even if you don't right-click. That is why it always has a service running.

also can cpm monitor addon installs for browsers?

if cpm can monitor addon installs for browsers do i have to manually monitor it or does cpm do it automatically even if cpm isn't running?

I guess it depends on what sort of add-ons you're talking about. It doesn't monitor extension installations, but it does monitor plugins like Flash player.

Thank you.

But when you get something like this (see attached) you can't just run standard installer you have to uninstall all the programs or bypass CPM all together and uninstall it using control panel.
