MATTERFORM MEDIA ANNOUNCES YANK 1.0
New all-purpose uninstaller for the Mac removes software and hidden
files that search tools cannot locate
Espanola, New Mexico, USA (January 17, 2005) - Matterform Media
(www.matterform.com) today announced the immediate availability of
Yank version 1.0 for Mac OS X. Yank uses Matterform's recently
developed file-listening technology, known as Sonar, to allow users
to completely and safely uninstall almost any program from their
Macintosh.
Most Mac programs do not ship with uninstaller programs and Mac users
usually remove software simply by dragging the program file into the
trash. However, this does not remove the numerous support files that
most programs sprinkle liberally through the user's file system.
These unneeded files accumulate on the hard drive, consuming disk
space and possibly degrading system security and performance.
Yank gives users the power to uninstall almost any software, along
with all its support files, with a simple click. The result is a
leaner, faster, safer Macintosh.
Other uninstaller products for the Mac use unreliable search
technologies to locate and remove software. Such programs are unable
to detect spy-ware and ad-ware files that unscrupulous programmers
deliberately conceal. Yank uses Matterform's new Sonar technology to
locate every installed file, making Yank the only product that can
remove any software from a Macintosh computer, no matter how it was
originally installed.
Matterform has also announced a Yank file sharing service that allows
Yank users to share uninstaller files with one another. This enables
users to uninstall software they installed before installing Yank.
Yank is available at www.matterform.com/yank. There is a special
introductory price of $19.95 and a free demo is also available.
For full support, Matterform recommends OS X 10.4 Tiger. Certain
features also work with OS X 10.2 and later. Yank is built with
REALbasic (www.realsoftware.com).
Matterform Media also publishes Sonar (www.matterform.com/sonar), a
file monitor whose core technology is used in Yank. Sonar provides
searchable, real-time file change logs that can be used to monitor
and troubleshoot file system problems on a Mac.
