CONTAINS PROXY TROJAN HORSE

Pros
None. Instantly uninstalled after AVG caught the virus.
Cons
Tried to install a the Proxy trojan horse after installing the program.
Summary
Why would you put a trojan horse inside a shareware program and why is CNet allowing this program on their site?
Not too shabby

Pros
Does what it says, easy to use. pretty good for FREE program! Also did not have bad download exp; saved to desktop, scanned with AV and no issues. Nice to be able to convert to bmp, jpg, gif if you needed to but I did not try that out.
Cons
not really a big con but you had to go into each sub folder in order for it to find the icons. Would be nice if it would pull up all the icons in one folder including its sub folders but understandably, that could take quite a while and return quite a few results depending on the folder you choose
Summary
Better than others I found

Pros
I did not have the alarming d/l experience of user #1. <p> <p>It reads all the files I have tried, and the output seems good.
Cons
In one file it included two versions of some icon size+qualities, which my current icon editor could not handle.

All my virus protection software lighted up like a neon beer sign

Pros
Cons
When I attempted to download, all my virus scanning/protecting software lighted up like a neon beer sign. would not allow download. Not sure why, but makes me nervous enough to not proceed with a second try.
Summary
Works as promised. This puppy will save you hours of work!

Pros
This program can search your entire hard drive with one click and displays all icons in an easily viewable window. Simply right click the desired icon and save it to your chosen folder as an ico or bmp. <p>I had installed icon sucker but it required me to search each subfolder and dll file separately. IconFinder didn't work at all! This one did the trick perfectly.
Cons
You need to configure the options to search subfolders. After that easy task you'll be off to the races. <p>Also, the search is a bit slow and may hang if you search your entire drive at once. I broke my search down by searching the Programs folder first, then Windows, etc.
Summary
Does what is claimed but gives error.

Cons
Summary
You have to go into "settings" to scan your whole drive, but it gets them and displays them all in a grid. Very cool. Got all of my icons back from icon libraries I created 5 years ago. When scanning my whole drive, it gives an "out of system resources " message. Use it to scan only particular directories.
Program freezes after scan.

Pros
Cons
Summary
Works perfectly. Found 4,906 icons on my PC. Very simple actions, only options to scan for icons, save or delete them, but works fine for that! No errors. Maybe win XP is faulty*cough*
Won't run on XP
