"Simple. Fast. FREE!!!!"
Version: Flashback Removal Tool 1.0
Pros
The scan was done well before I cleared the screen after hitting the "Agree" button!!
Cons
None. Absolutely N-O-N-E!!!
Summary
Just because you can't SEE a little clock (or similar) ticking along while a piece of software performs a scan doesn't mean it's process is: any less thorough, any less valid, any less meaningful, or any less correct. Ignore any assessments that suggest otherwise.
Download now, and breathe a little easier for having done so. -
"Flashback Removal tool"
Version: Flashback Removal Tool 1.0
Pros
Works silently in the background, gives lightening fast results. Easy to use.
Cons
None, although there could be a module made that shows the active process as it does it work.
Summary
Perhaps too easy to use. End users want the comfort of 'seeing' their systems being scanned. Okay, we know it's psychology but its a real demand. That said, we're happy we were virus free.
