If an uninstaller is asking for a reboot it is mostly just to cleanup stuff that could potentially still be in use by the system. If I want to remove as many traces of the program from my computer as possible, what should I do? If I postpone the reboot, let GeekUninstaller scan and do its cleanup magic, and then reboot my computer, does whatever cleanup operation that is supposed to happen during reboot still happen? In these cases, are the "leftover files" that the program's uninstallation process removes on reboot the same as the files that GeekUninstaller (or similar uninstaller) will look for in its scan for "leftover files"? If I choose to restart, GeekUninstaller won't get its chance to run its post-uninstall scan. This happens right before GeekUninstaller is able to start its scan for leftover files. In some cases, after I complete the standard uninstaller process, the uninstaller of the program I just removed will give me a prompt: "please restart your computer so that leftover files can be removed". Usually, I will choose the program I want to uninstall, go through the regular uninstallation process, and then GeekUninstaller will scan my computer for leftover files, and offer to remove them. I'm using GeekUninstaller, because it's free and has pretty good reviews.
