Add/Remove 1.00

Overview

Summary

 Pretends to remove all of the software from your machine using the standard Windows Add/Remove Programs.

Vendor Description

 From the doc: "Add/Remove is a prank program that makes it appear that all of your software on your computer is being removed using the Windows Add/Remove Program feature. This gag is so real, it will shock the most experienced user. If you are looking for a great gag to play on someone, this prank is a must download. It is so realistic, because it displays all of the software that is installed on the computer it is ran from. When you first run Add/Remove there is no other option but OK, and as soon as you click on that the fun begins."
