  Scared from the onset

  Summary

  <br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Jun 9, 2014<p/>The program I downloaded from Cnet and installed did not appear in Revo Uninstaller nor in system restore. I recommend that users make a restore point before installing this program.

• Great When it Works

  cabriMarch 31, 2014

  Pros

  The free version of this program makes good icons in a variety of sizes. It comes with a good help file.

  Cons

  Unfortunately, sometimes it seems to get a contrary fit. Instead of getting an icon, your preview is either solid black or simply white. I can't find anything in the help file to explain this, let alone to tell me what to do about it. Closing and reopening the program doesn't help, but when you come back another time it may work beautifully.

  Summary

  When it works, I love it. When it doesn't, I hate it.

• Don't bother

  anthony f woodMarch 27, 2014

  Pros

  none, none at all!!!

  Cons

  could not get past the first panel, it wants to update to a new panel so I could not use the free registration. No uninstall, so had to remove manually, if it is wants to be difficult...its outa here!

  Summary

  See if you can make the free version work. In my opinion...that is a woeful effort.

• Do not Download, DO NOT INSTALL

  ZeCarlosForteJanuary 4, 2014

  Pros

  OK for only basic limited icon editing, but the Cons outweigh the Pro

  Cons

  Not Freeware as it claims Very limited functionality Difficult to use Does not integrate well with Windows 7 Does not show up in my installed programs to uninstall The program's uninstall feature leaves garbage behind The maker is constantly trying to sell you their other programs, and if they're as bad then you're in trouble.

  Summary

  Do not waste your time. Definitely do not install.

• Works fine

  misternetworkDecember 6, 2013

  Pros

  Simple easy icon editor

  Cons

  It does try and sell you other stuff. You can simply delete the "Panel" exe files

  Summary

  BTW - it did NOT change pdf file associations, add banners or toolbars, or alter my browser settings or preferences in any way.

• Malware! Do not bother

  LaserGuy199November 22, 2013

  Pros

  None, zero, Nada, zip, Zilch

  Cons

  malware Secretly installed the connect toolbar in my browser Hijacked my IE and chrome browser, changing the homepage and giving me junk ads. Changed my default PDF viewer so an ad came up for their PDF viewer every time I tried to open a PDF

  Summary

  I can't understand why CNET gave this a positive rating. I have always trusted them to only rate malware free programs. Took me two hours to completely unload this. I just hope I got it all.

• Garbage - a spam delivery system

  brucifer81August 28, 2013

  Pros

  None - won't kake a working icon

  This is really just a spam delivery system. The UI is basically and advertisement for their paid products.

  Summary

  This is a useless prorgam and won't make a working Windows ico file.

• Absmal Rating

  CDLadyAugust 25, 2013

  Pros

  none none none

  Cons

  Does not support transparencies. Does not allow batch process. Does not allow multiple icon sizes within a single file. Terrible user interface.

  Summary

  Why CNET has chosen to rate this program as highly as it has is unknown to me as it does not merit such. This is a terrible program. ***** This program does not appear in program files and you will still need to track down and manually delete associated files installed by this program after you run their uninstaller. This program is not worth the time. IcoFX is an excellent free to try program.
