I approached this with some trepidation given the warnings, but it was not so scary. Nothing is deleted without warning, and I found it easy to use, and useful. Thanks.

I went to the registration request page and it says that the giveaway is over yet it still says It is available for 5 hours on GOTD. What's the go?

What I found that really helps is when who ever is promoting this software is answering important questions.

It installed well on Windows 10 Pro x64, then ran it, it stopped a couple times and asked me about a couple items, all which I marked as 'safe', then found it had tore up my system badly! It removed several game shortcuts (including some from here) all which have been scanned many times by my very good anti-virus and other Malware programs.
It trashed my audio software, trashed several other drivers! Then tore up my activation for my legal version of Microsoft Office which I bought through work! Finally found a restore tab in the reanimator section..which took me to a completely empty folder! Did some other damage too, and I am a experienced computer user with a degree in Computer Sciences, so don't usually have problems. Luckily I had a system restore from the day before, and system image from days ago, as I'm still trying to fix it's damage.

Thanks for the warnings!
I will not even try...
I will not jump in where even angels fear to tread!

Seems to paint with a very broad brush. I noted it identified as suspicious many OK files. I think just scanning and then telling it to remove whatever it found to be quite unwise.

Note too that this giveaway does not include the rootkit remover. You need an upgrade for that.

Thanks for the offering GAOTD but I've used Spybot Search & Destroy for years as well as Windows Defender. These two give me all the protection I need.

I used it before and never again. It destroyed parts of the windows registry and rendered my system unusable.

The problem with this if you are a computer technician is you will get far too many false positives on technicians tools that make the product a waste of time as you have to waste time sorting out the tools and excluding them from the scan results... this has been given away many times in differing versions but the end result is the same that it cannot be trusted not to generate false numerous false positives.

Downloaded and installed fine. Tried to get the license key, it stated that the giveaway has expired?

Lifetime Usage of your UnHackMe GiveAway Version. Lifetime Free Antivirus Database Updates. So i would guess this is just a Starter Plan not the Premium Plan.

IMAGE your computer, folks BEFORE you install anything FREE that does this kind of cleaning. Then, if it doesn't work and/or it begins to crash your PC, you can put that image back on and restore your pc.

are all of you saying I have to be a computer expert to use this software? then there should be classifications like for certain and maybe.

I agree with others who have said, "Don't use the program unless you're very well versed in computers." I used the previous version offered some time back by GOTD. Many false positives were mixed in with programs that could be deleted. My MP3 downloader was flagged as were some of my other programs which I wanted to keep. Many of the flagged programs would not be recognizable to a novice computer user as valid necessary files which need to be retained. So my advice is if you really aren't that comfortable with delving into the guts of your computer, I would pass on this software. One aspect I wish they would change is once you've flagged a file as a false positive, why don't they remove it from future scans unless something has changed in the file?

I felt program was a little too powerful (and invasive) for a non-novice!
I noticed it generated it own `restore point'. That's good - I guess.
I believe I'll pass on this program for now.
Thanks, Harmon

Installed and scanned my pc and found a lot of "malwares" and deleted them. And now i cannot access my internet. Says dns server not responding. Dont use this program. I think it will delete windows system files. Cant even do a system restore as it deleted the restore files.

Problem with this type of offer is that the spolied millennium generation will want it to change their nappy as well as detect malware on their phone and xbox?

Downloaded program and installed fine. No registration key anywhere to be found . . . . What am I missing?

It comes with lifetime license or does it have to be renewed after some time?

Identified many files from free programs I use that I thought were not necessary so I allowed deletion. Mistake. Had to do a System Restore to get files back e.g. Calibre Ebook Management Tool. Too complicated for me. Will just stick with what I was using before. Uninstalled

2 year old review from CNET:
http://download.cnet.com/UnHackMe/3000-2239_4-68786.html

Does it run constantly in the background?
Thanks

It doesn't seem to me like this is the registered regular version, but a registered free version, could someone confirm?

This was offered a while back (can't remember how far back) and I gave it a try and didn't it find it as good as MalwareBytes, which doesn't deal with ransomeware, but I have Kerish Doctor which does. When I tested the previous version, it missed quite a few malwares that MalwareBytes detected straight away. Don't know if todays version if different as I haven't downloaded and it would be unfair to the developer and everyone else to pass comment on today's offering.

As any field engineer will attest to, these tools are indispensable. I have used RegRun for many years, which UnHackMe is a part of.

Not to be confused with an anti-virus solution. Use this in combination with SuperAntiSpyware / Malwarebytes to keep your system clean.

This GOTD gets my thumbs up.

seems to me this program misses a huge opportunity not being free. I mean that will make a little money with people that can afford it. but miss mass advertising dollars of freeware and FOSS grants for open source that would net far more income that paid software.

Well I installed successfully and it immediately did a scan as I would have expected. Then came up with a load of false positives...prompted for all my start-up items etc... kinda annoying to be honest I would have expected it to be more intelligent with what it showed as a problem...eg. syncplicity app was flagged...all my asus system board apps were flagged up. So not a keeper for me sorry...but thanks for the offer.

UnHackMe eliminates all types of malicious software!
How about ransomwares? All of them is solved with magnificent UnHackMe?

This software has been offered before on GOTD and, as before, the same caveat applies: if you're not well-versed in the ways of computers, then you need to think carefully about the consequences of taking a lighted candle into a shedful of dynamite.

'Unhack Me' is software that does a job and does it well, which explains why on various computer-help Internet forums it's one of a number of favored diagnostic resources deployed by experts in talk-through problem curing.

The important thing to notice here though is "talk-through", because in all such cases the expert involved advises the user every step of the way: do this; don't do that; leave well alone until I tell you what to do next; etc etc.

If you're unsure of your own abilities and you don't have a computing professional to hand, or even a responsible, knowledgable friend, then 'Unhack Me' should be approached with caution -- not because it's bad at its job, but because it might just turn out to be a bit too good for your liking. . .

thank you for this i have used it in the past and found it very good as a second stop after my normal anti virus and it has saved me a few times i let the program go when i was made unemployed as could not afford it so nice to have it back again even if only for a year it is well worth it

many thanks again
