That would be Total UNinstall, obviously.

If you use system restore, it works by creating previous
restore points and when to restore it restore a previous state
of the system - so, you will lose every setting or good
installation registry since that restore point that it
recorded. On the other hand, if you use TUN correctly, it
will remove what is neccessary. But is is always good to look
at the entries in TUN and make sure it won't clean out things
that are unnecessary (google the registry key and you will
likely to know what is or is not related).

Both can be used to back out of a bad installation. What's the
difference?

Well, system restore is not available under Windows 98 and prior, I believe.

In addition, TUN will back out (pretty completely) selective installs.
System restore backs out 'since the last system restore'.

I'd say quite a bit of difference.
