Poor Design
pcrepairguy35- Pros
- Finds alot of stuff
- Cons
- if only what it found was actually rootkits it reveals everything hidden on computer not just root kits Just did a scan and came back with 3316 results if i wanted to fix all would have to select each one at a time who has time for that where is the select all button at then tried to fix a few a program just disappeared What a waste of 2 hrs watching it scan
- Summary
- Trendmicro is known for better software that this Get rid of it fix it and bring it back later This software is making you look bad. I'm a pc tech and this is junk
SAVED ME WHEN A ZERO DAY VIRUS TOOK OVER MY MACHINE!
jackrbike- Pros
- I was attacked by what I later learned was a rootkit virus; disabled my antivirus program; couldn't access online scanners/websites. Download this to thumb drive. Ran it. It cleaned my machine and I was able to proceed.
- Cons
- How can I criticize something that saved me?
- Summary
- Download it; save it in a folder but change the name of the exe so bugs don't scan your machine to delete known effective malware exe files. Know where you keep it.
It's great.
mspider50- Pros
- It is great for keeping the root file clean
- Cons
- Nothing yet
- Summary
- I like it because it's fast.

UHHHH....NO!
pistei- Pros
- don't know
- Cons
- well, if it would install, that'd help
- Summary
- wont let me run it. says i have to be administrator. i AM administrator and logged in as such. there are too many good rootkit products around to use, rather than try to kick this thing in the head to get it started.
Worthlessware
