First, I check if the program was never mentioned here in acf (I use a
bookmarklet to automatize this search in Google) and read what was written
about it. Sometimes I search also other users reviews on the web.
If I decide to download and install it, I make a registry backup with Erunt
and monitor the install with Total Uninstall.
Then I look closely at the registry entries (especially at the changes, if
they can be dangerous for other programs, or I don't like them...) and at
the RAM used by the new running program, because I prefer not bloated
software.
Passed these tests I'll keep it, otherwise I uninstall it immediately with
TUN, and only if needed I restore the registry with Erdnt.
That's all from my soapbox ;-)
