The
Port Explorer Installer program has been carefully designed to make Install and
Uninstall as seamless, easy, convenient and hassle-free as possible, yet still
giving you complete control over install options. We have also been very careful to ensure that no files or registry settings related to Port Explorer are left behind should you choose to uninstall, keeping the install and uninstall as clean as possible.
