Pros: An excellent waste of hard drive space... it does this flawlessly
Extremely effective at eroding your trust in buying software rather than pirating it.
Cons: I tried the trial version... it never fixed anything (I should have known then but figured, hey, it's on CNET) so I purchased the full PRO version... Several dozen attempts later, trying to fix files of all type, I've yet to be able to fix a single file. It claims to fix partially downloaded files so I partially downloaded as many different file formats as I could think of and ran this program on them. It completes and says it was sucessful but nothing's changed. I still can't open the files. So exactly what media files this thing fixes is sure a mystery to me. I believe I've been taken. Don't let 'em take you too... consider yourself warned.
Cons: As the previous reviewer said, this software doesn't actually do anything. I know what you're thinking: "of course it does something or it wouldn't exist!" OK, when you open up a file and press F5, it does have a natty interface that kinds of implies that something is going on, you know the kind of thing: a status bar, numbers whizzing by and so on. After a few minutes, you'll happily be informed that all is fixed with a nice green tick! That's it. It doesn't actually make any changes whatsoever. I think that this might be a joke piece of software like the old blue screen of death screen saver? Anyway, for goodness sake doesn't spend money on it.
