  "Easy to Use, Interpret"

  by pmchefalo on March 14, 2007

  Pros: This utility shows a comprehensive list of potential problems, and does a good job of explaining the possible causes. Allows you to save the analysis for future reference of off-site use. It's free.

  Cons: Takes a while to run, and if you use the PC during that time it may give false positives. Perhaps it should lock up the user interface and give more obvious progress indications.

  "No good"

  by groucho7 on March 28, 2008

  Pros: Nothing. It is impossible to use.

  Cons: When I run RootkitRevealer, it displays the following error message: "Unable to install RootkitRevealer service: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion." Resolving this issue is time-consuming, difficult, and not worth it. You will be much better off with F-Secure's Black Light.

  "Hangs up, and hung my computer up as well."

  by kelkay on February 22, 2007

  Pros: I like what it was supposed to do.

  Cons: I couldn't use it without hanging up my computer. I went to their help forum, but didn't see a cause right away for the problem.
