• What's Up With The Name?

  subbitzOctober 20, 2014

  Pros

  Scary name precludes me from downloading it.

  Cons

  I wouldn't know. Name raises too many suspicions to consider it.

  Summary

  Why would I download a program named after a Scientology character? Red flag,or what?

• Adware and malware downloads with Xenu's link slueth

  RolobarbMay 16, 2014

  Pros

  NONE! Nothing good to say. It's a virus.

  Cons

  LOOK OUT!!! This changes your home page, error handling, search engine and adds an invasive toolbar. The positive feedback on here must be faked by the people who added the adware. I was led here by a post criticizing another software download which must have also been put there by the people who added the malware/virus here. Don't be fooled.

  Summary

  ADWARE MALWARE VIRUS Stay away!

  Pros

  None - Installed malware

• Easy html css edits, remove text formatting, run tidy

  fkeller9January 7, 2011

  Pros

  Opens quickly. Easy copy/paste. Easy to run "tidy" from sourceforge to clean html. Easy to drop formatted text, to lose the formatting. lots of prompts to create code.

  Cons

  Tools to create html and css codes are good but not blindly easy.

  CarlmagnusDecember 7, 2010

  Pros

  Checks all links in a short time and gives the summarized result when finished.

• Xenu's Link Sleuth keeps me honest

  mhefflerOctober 12, 2010

  Pros

  This is an exceptional tool for web page integrity. I use it primarily for creating web pages for non-profit organizations so the price can't be beat. When I moved to a new operating system or computer, the author worked with me to repair some bugs.

  Cons

  I can't think of anything I do not like. Too many broken links come frmo my limited testing environment and not the product.

  Summary

  My web pages have far fewer problems since I run Xenu's Link Sleuth on every page I create.
