Version: Acronis Drive Cleanser 6.0
Pros: works ok, but like all other acronis products, has some flaws and a gay customer service
Cons: retarded, just get "darik's nuke and boot" which works a lot better then this, reinstall the os and you're done.
Summary: sucks, darik's nuke and boot is 100000000000000000000000000 times better. You're better of committing suicide then using their Customer service.
