"May crash your system"
Version: UnHackMe 5.0
Pros
None. Once I started to use the product it caused a serious error.
Cons
Crashed system. How do I know it was this product? Soon as I installed and went to use it, system crashed. Was able to remove product in safe mode. Everything fine now.
Summary
Use on a computer that you don't care if it crashes. Wait for more feedback and testing.

"Fixed the worst bug I've had in years"
Version: UnHackMe 5.0
Pros
Quick installation, and fixed my epic bug with only one machine reboot.
Cons
Some odd grammar and spelling in the program had me worried for a second that maybe this was not legit, but have no fear it works perfectly.
Summary
Something was turning off my Windows firewall and hijacking my browser. It was re-routing Google and blocking Microsoft Update. This fixed it with just one reboot of my machine.

"Worked as advertised to remove rootkit missed by others"
Version: UnHackMe 5.0
Pros
Did the job that many trusted other products couldn't.
Cons
Relatively unknown product raised serious concerns.
Summary
I had run Symantic, AVG, Spybot and AdAware and they all missed the rootkit but kept finding the other trojans being installed by the rootkit. RootkitRevealer finally found the rootkit but it doesn't remove them and I couldn't get it completely removed by hand. I finally tried UnHackMe and it got the rootkit completely.
At first it scared me that I could find so little info on UnHackMe which made me worry that the supposed cure could be worse than the current problem if UnHackMe was itself a trojan. Finally I found a reference from an Admin at the U of Minnissota so I took the chance and it worked perfectly.
The lack of info and the occasional bad grammer in the UI still makes me worry that it presents as much risk as the rootkit itself but it fixed my problems so I have to give it 5 stars.
As rootkits become more common, more people will need a tool to do just this so hopefully it will become better known so chickens like me will feel more secure runing it.
Cudo's to the programmer on being able to outperform Symantic.
