It worked for me..
I thought my XP laptop was toast. After a stupid download of a file and running it without scanning first, my laptop rebooted on it's own. Winsocket errors, SVChost error and my desktop had only a background. I could boot in safe mode and I got rid of the malware/viruses with 2 other programs. Research made it look like I was going to have to copy and paste some winsock registry entries and then I found this. Errors were gone, I'm back on line. Thank you. More

Terrific.
Used it literally dozens of times in the past several years. Also helps undo all the internet 'tweaks' that may have bolluxed up your throughput and LAN connections. It returns you to an almost 'fresh install' type state for your TCP/IP networking.
Pros:
Does exactly what it's supposed to.
Cons:
If you don't know what it's for, or how to use it... DONT USE IT! More

Previous guy talking smack ... its excellent.
This worked first time as saved me huge amounts of hassle!! Well done chaps ...
My sister's pc had a trojan virus took me a combo of spybot and cccleaner to zap it but though my pc seemed to be unable to get online though the ping test was working fine. I tried help lines and waste hours but this simple download <from another pc ofc> worked in 20 secs.Could not be happier
Pros:
Easy to use and worked at once
Cons:
this is being picky but the interface looks like it fell out of the 80s, I am sure there is a reason for this though More
