You should run as soon as you can. To get a base point to compare with, for when you're certain something's threatening your system in the hopefully far future

dan, says there giveaway edition, pay 20.00 get premium after download give option to buy that. running now does find alot of legit software hopefully it will learn from the finds.

greg, I saw no mention of 'premium' (just did a search on this page) until I installed it; just ran it and like you, it found a lot of false +s; but I need to read the manual the install pointed to (http://greatis.com/unhackme/howto.pdf); maybe then I'll see what the 'premium' version gets me.

dan, When you first install the program, if you leave all the boxes unchecked a browser window opens which tells you which version we are getting. We are getting the basic version

Heavy Water, I believe I left all the boxes checked and the gui displays GIVEAWAY edition with a button for GET PREMIUM, ao obviously I don't have the premium. I really have to RTFM to understand the benefits since I only installed it based on its reputation.

MikeR,
You're correct Mike
The worst this program has ever done is kill my internet connection.... but it's supposed to so it can thoroughly fix all the infections that might be on any OS. The fix to your internet connection is very easy. Just use MS own built-in repair tool and your internet is quickly fixed and everything is back to normal. I put both UnHackMe and Combofix right together to kill just about any infection that might be on anyone's OS. This is a great offer today.

MikeR,

I totally agree with MikeR, but I'd advise the potential user- before you hinge your decision to install around the concept of 'competent enough' [in the ways of computing].....don't base you decision on your perceived level of "competence." You can be completely competent and still have no way of reliably discerning a potentially-unwanted-program from a legitimate, break-your-system, better-not-touch-me, executable or .DLL file....most-of-which have nonsensical names. Malware writers capitalize on this obscurity. The evil file is more likely to be named scannerdriver.dll while the ACTUAL scanner driver will be some idiotic, cryptic mess of a filename. You can be completely competent and still land yourself in trouble with this program. You've been warned.

alireza,

So, you are running two antivirus programs at the same time: Kaspersky antivirus and Panda Dome Complete?

As far as I am correct, running two antivirus programs on the same system is not a good idea, because they are eating up its resources, getting in each others way, and often causing corruption of the system, and at best- will slow down your machine.

Bill: There's quite a difference between security software that only works after-the-fact of an infection (passive) and Real Time software which recognises and stops the infection from occurring in the first place (active.) A multiplicity of passive anti-virus (more accurately, "anti-malware") defenses on a computer, whether actioned sequentially in diagnostic scans or not, isn't much of a defense.

By all means, use a diagnostic if it's suspected that a Real Time defense has been breached, but installing a variety of 'em on the same machine is no different to fitting numerous padlocks to a stable door. . . after the horse has gone.

consuella,
NOT sure if they are "running" at same time.........both scan on demand and "go to cloud"........I've done several at same time with NO problem. THEY do hog resources while running though.

drvajra, Both MikeR and dadams are issuing more words of wisdom than concerns. This is a powerful software, and if you don't know exactly what to allow it to leave and remove after a scan, it could remove necessary items. My advice is to tread slowly using it until you get the handle of it and read the comments, from the last GOTD, that dadams posted a link to.

DJ, I've installed this and it is very aggressive in it's scans, but it does not delete anything unless you select it to be deleted (or fixed) and this is where the problems can start. If you simply check a box and opt for the item to be removed there is a chance you remove something needed by your system. You can however look up any of the items it lists and decide for yourself. Obviously if you are unsure the best thing to do is to leave the suspect file alone and do some research. I'd say that this software does what it's supposed to do but is aimed at users with a good solid understanding of IT and probably best avoided by less knowledgeable users. If you are going try this I would strongly you back everything up first so that if it goes belly up you can restore your system.

Scanning is quite slow, but due to the fact the scan is deep , which it needs to be to find the nasties hiding in your system. From my tests I find it good and easy to use, my biggest dislike is the UGI, it's ghastly but I can live with it. Wouldn't recommend for users with limited knowledge, more advanced users should find it very good. BACKUP BEFORE USING!!!

Robert, As I stated to drvajra, tread slowly..looking up items does not always answer questions for people. My advice to a person is if you are unsure, leave it alone until you are sure.
Also as far as the interface, I look at the job the software does, not how nice it looks.

DJ, the GUI comment was just be being fussy, as for the using the software I have absolutely no concerns whatsoever, but I am a qualified IT technician but your advice is still holds good, but I think I already said that in my comment. FYI, I won't be keeping this as I don't really another anti malware piece of software on my machine, I was simply curious after reading some of the initial comments.

Eldad, Tread very slowly with this software..it is not an anti virus typical software..but to answer your question, yes it does list objects and allows user input.

DJ, thank you. I am willing to try as long as there are no mandatory "automatic fix" or "One click fix", and I have a choice whether to delete any item, or not - I am happy to try it.
Did down load and install without a problem on WinXP. Thank you very much for the program.

Eldad,
As a second thought.........anytime I run something that "might" do ya in.......I always create a "restore" point which maybe I've been lucky but the few times some "aggressive" software has screwed up the system I've "recovered"..........whew

iwontell, Thank you - excellent advice and habit. I know about it, but am often too lazy to do it. Happily no major trouble ensued so far, but will try to follow your good advice in the future.
In the same vein: I do back up my entire C drive (120G SSD) to another every few weeks (again should be more often!!!), in case of a major melt down.
Takes about 7 minutes to back up ~75G of data to another SSD, or about 20min to an regular HD.

P.S. Meanwhile installed and ran UnHackMe, ran fast and showed many results, - ALL false positives, all were legit installed software. Will keep it to use in case I suspect a real infection - responders here wrote that it is excellent in case that happens.
