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.

ADWARE MALWARE VIRUS Stay away!

Download installed malware. After you install Xenu, Lab.search.conduit.com (hijacking virus) will take over all your web browsers.

crabby1July 17, 2011
Pros
I am thrilled to find such a resource for free, since I maintain only a few websites, most for non-profits. It works well and quickly.
Cons
None that I can think of.
Summary
Gits 'er done!
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.
Summary
Needed by all owners of a homepage with several links.
CarlmagnusDecember 7, 2010
Pros
Checks all links in a short time and gives the summarized result when finished.
Cons
Can't think of anything.
Summary
If you have a homepage with thousands of links this programme is a blessing when it comes to checking all these links
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.
