Does Uninstaller monitor file version #'s?

Does Uninstaller monitor file version #'s?

When monitoring the install, does Total Uninstall compare file version numbers, file sizes, or hash #'s before and after the installation of a program?

There's always the chance that a program could install a system file with the same name but an older or different version than what's already installed. In theory. a MS Windows alert should pop up asking if you want to install an older version (and perhaps a different version) of a file, but these installs are so fast that one wonders if it's possible that a file could be missed - or the program install might have code that supercedes the windows alert and installs the file anyway.

A file is considered modified if the file timestamp (modified or created) or size or attributes are different.
The program can scan also for version information (option in the scan profile) increasing the scanning time considerably.
