I don't know that it actually "removes" anything.

From my observation it turns the clock back at program start, and
resets it to the current/correct setting when the program closes.

It doesn't modify the program, just spoofs the software install time
and date.

You could write a .bat file to do something similar.

But it does work well on some programs - including CloneDVD and CloneCD.

It was and probably still is freeware.
