I would strongly recommend against this. Although it does have its uses in a few, very specialist cases, under normal circumstances, this is a big No-No. It deletes the majority of files, but it leaves files in other locations, and it leaves the registry entries. This can cause three problems.
1: The registry startup locations are left. This may cause file not found errors, or slow the system startup down as it searches for the files, and then eventually, gives up.
2: It leaves orphaned files, folders, and registry keys on the system. The QuickTime and iTunes package would leave about 650, mainly registry keys.
3: It will remove or break the uninstaller.
On the other hand, it does easily and quickly remove the program, to a further, or lesser extent. I would not recommend this, and only as a last resort.
I personally don't like Revo uninstaller either. I have seen it cause problems, and one problem was so bad we had to clean install eventually. If you want to perform a manual uninstall, then here are some better ways of going about it.
Since this is a toolbar, it is likely to have its files documented, as Toolbars are often harder to remove, and often annoying, even if they are not exactly malware.
The best thing to do would be to search "
Manual Removal of (Paltalk Toolbar)" in Google, find a link which shows the files, and have a look at that. Do not be tempted by the automatic uninstallers, they are worse that the Toolbar. For example, here is one I found:
How to uninstall PaltalkScene - Final Uninstaller Uninstall Tutorials
We could now create a script to remove the files and folder. It may look bad, and a lot of files, but you will notice that most are in a single folder, so not too big a script. The registry is harder, but generally I would say that remove traces from the HiJackThis log and you will be fine. This requires specialist training, and so I will do this part if it comes to it. The only keys (registry keys look like folders, values like files) that should be deleted are the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\uninstall\paltalk8.2\ and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\paltalk although this again is not ideal. Again, try to avoid a manual removal, but this is enough if it is really necessary.
