"The program never worked."
Version: Returnil System Safe 2011 3.1.8774.5254
Pros
I can't think of any.
Cons
The program did not work. I kept getting an error message. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. It still didn't work.

"If it's working, it's working OK"
Version: Returnil System Safe 2011 3.1.8774.5254
Pros
This system pops up desktop messages about "potentially unwanted" stuff coming off the web. Not sure what I should do. Other than that, it causes no trouble. I haven't tried to uninstall. Haven't noticed a problem downloading or saving anything.
Cons
The pop ups are a nuisance. But that's part of the protection. I wish it gave more information on whether the item it "identified" is a risk or just junk files. How do I know?
Summary
The product appears to be working. I have no issues with the product so far. Neither do I have glowing praise because I don't understand everything it does. The product is not causing problems with anything else I do on my computer. I run VISTA 64.

"Returnil is a NIGHTMARE!"
Version: Returnil System Safe 2011 3.1.7779.5174
Pros
There is nothing I like about Returnil.
Cons
Okay, Returnil support, please show how this program can be removed without having to delete everything on my hard drive and starting over.
Summary
Returnil has lost me countless time---hours in trying to uninstall. It's got a mind of its own. You guys have created a monster. I do not see how CNet could recommend it. I installed it based on CNET's recommendation. Guys, you're responsible, so please offer a responsible and working solution to this huge problem.

"TAKES CONTROL AND WON'T GO AWAY"
Version: Returnil System Safe 2011 3.1.7779.5174
Pros
THERE IS NOTHING TO LIKE ABOUT THIS SOFTWARE - CAN'T EVEN DO YOUR OWN SYSTEM RESTORE WHEN IT'S INSTALLED.
Cons
MADE THE MISTAKE OF INSTALLING THIS ON MY DAUGHTER'S NEW COMPUTER AND SHE CAN'T SAVE ANYTHING - WORD DOCUMENTS, ITUNE SONG DOWNLOADS, ALL ARE GONE WHEN THE COMPUTER IS REBOOTED.
Summary
BEWARE OF THIS DOWNLOAD - I HAVE FOLLOWED ALL THE DEVELOPERS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR GETTING RID OF IT AND IT REFUSES TO GO AWAY!

"Use only if you NEVER change ANYTHING on your PC..."
Version: Returnil System Safe 2011 3.1.7779.5174
Pros
It most certainly locks down a PC system.
Cons
For the casual user (already behind several firewalls), Returnil Virtual System (RVS) is way over the top.
Summary
I don't like the feeling of having my freedom to change my settings, apps, arrangment, etc., severely limited. Even my e-mail would not update - that was one of the worst results of installing RVS. It may work for networks and avid PC users with a lot of time on their hands, but "I've been there and done that", not to return(il) again!
CJSC and Returnil Technical Support [support-tech@returnil.com] were contacted for assistance to remove the RVS, and the only response was, "It [my e-mail of MSINFO32 report and not being able to remove Returnil from my PC) has been submitted to our engineers for evaluation. We hope this response has sufficiently answered your questions." What answer? What technical support for the user?

"Worse than Useless"
Version: Returnil System Safe 2011 3.1.7779.5174
Pros
Easy to install
Cons
Doesn't uninstall, crashes computer
Summary
Returnil was very easy to download and install. HOWEVER, once I activated it, my computer crashed and took almost 10 minutes to reboot. I tried to delete the program, but it doesn't delete. I had to used Regedit to get rid of most of it, but it was still there. The only way to truly get rid of it is to wipe your hard drive and reinstall the operating system.
Don't download this! Do NOT use it!! -
"Caused my system to lock up."
Version: Returnil System Safe 2011 3.0.6517.4958
Pros
It has a cute name.
Cons
I couldn't wait to uninstall this progarm. It must have had a conflict with something else I was running.
Summary
I was not able to use the program at all.
-
"Really hard to uninstall once it's on there."
Version: Returnil System Safe 2011 3.0.6517.4958
Pros
Wouldn't waste my time!
Cons
Couldn't uninstall this program at all, as there seems to be an error upon installation which is really starting to aggravate the hell out of me now. Pointless program unless you know what the hell you're doing. Seems I don't.
Summary
What a waste of time.
