Submit portable freeware that you find here. It helps if you include information like description, extraction instruction, Unicode support, whether it writes to the registry, and so on.
Bulk Crap Uninstaller is program uninstaller. It excels at removing large amounts of applications with minimal user input. It can clean up leftovers, detect orphaned applications, run uninstallers according to premade lists, and much more!
Bulk Crap Uninstaller at version 3.3. It seems to be portable and stealth- settings saved in BCUninstaller.settings file inside program folder. Compared to other uninstallers (Geek Uninstaller, Revo Uninstaller, Wise Program Uninstaller) this one is a bit heavier but offers a lot of information and options and GUI is very good. Although Bulk Crap Uninstaller requires .NET I like this uninstaller.

As of version 3.7.1 (3.7.1.22408) Bulk Crap Uninstaller no longer leaves BCUninstaller.exe.log in AppData (at least on my Windows 8 x64 system). After exiting the program CleanLogs.bat automatically cleans it. Please confirm.
Version 3.7.1:
Only some files in CryptnetUrlCache (I believe because it checks certificates of installed programs) and same in the registry.
I removed XP from supported systems - too many problems IMO
Obviously the rogue (Martin Pekar) has made some cosmetic changes to the GUI (the tool bar is moved from top to bottom, etc) and changed the name of the program.
