    December 15, 2010  |   By daMig

    Version: Browser Hijack Recover 3

    Pros

    review last entry. it works. clean, simple. it works!

    Cons

    non that I found. You have a purchasing customer.!!

    Summary

    IE explorer did not work, first one computer, then three. this worked. Pure and simple. solved my problem, first one, the two and three. Well worth the nominal price.

    oh, p.s. IT Works!

    "pretty good i guess"

    January 13, 2007  |   By alchemy420

    Version: Browser Hijack Recover 2.3

    Pros

    blocks changes to hosts file and alerts you when something tries to change the file. tools to save or correct IE settings.

    Cons

    a little buggy. sometimes the taskbar icon becomes inactive and i have to go to taskmanager to close the program and restart it.

    "Does its job, and it is free. What are some of you expecting??"

    January 13, 2006  |   By dfichtner

    Version: Browser Hijack Recover 2.3

    Pros

    It works fine, and does its job. I have used this to clean computers for friends recently. The wizard is fairly simple to use. Why others insist on trashing this program for not continuing to protect, I can only guess. It is not meant to do that. You need a program like Microsoft Antispyware (free) to do that. BHR gives you a free month trial (unless that has changed recently) which is more than enough to clean things and secure your system with a program meant to do that. Many of the other programs mentioned expect you to pay for the continued support.

    Cons

    As with any browser hijack recovering program, it can be dangerous if you delete the wrong thing. BHR has a wizard which is quite helpful.

    Oh, and check your desktop for IE icons, and delete them. Make new clean ones. They can be fake links and go to other sites when clicked on. BHR doesn't check those.

    "Review was short. IT worked well"

    June 3, 2005  |   By LoW_Reviewer

    Version: Browser Hijack Recover 2.2

    Pros

    It did its job but lacks some host installs.

    Cons

    2 or 3 programs tested against beat the system. It is the medicine to fight a cold but it does'nt stop it from coming back!

    April 2, 2005  |   By The Doober

    Version: Browser Hijack Recover 2.1

    Pros

    Helps lighten your bank account.

    Cons

    HiJack This!, Spybot S&D, AdAware, Bazooka Scanner, and Mozilla Firefox are all free and infinetly better products. Don't be a sucker.

    "potential"

    March 24, 2005  |   By pc front

    Version: Browser Hijack Recover 2.1

    Pros

    allways on the look out for good apps we can use in our computer repair shop. this doesnt qualify....yet. why do this whaen spysweeper or ad aware does the same thing.

    Cons

    this does exactly what it says, but doesnt stop the problem, it will default you homepage settings to factory resets but doesn't quarantine the viruses.

    use adaware or spy sweeper they do a better job and keep it fixed.

    they were right when it says for computer users not experts because i am an expert and i saw right through this junk!!!!!!!BEWARE
