I have an idea! Instead of massively downvoting software how about explaining why you didn't like it? The voting system here is worthless. This looks like a useful program but I'm afraid to install it because of all the downvotes. Does it install some kind of malware? Is there something wrong with it? Or is this just the bizarre downvote brigade that attacks every post on this site without explanation?

The GAOTD USER RATING SYSTEM here is 9 times out of 10 useless and misleading!

Problem is that most of people here vote any GAOTD according to their personal needs only (==> don't need it...so THUMBS DOWN!): that's the problem!

But why are you afraid to install a GEM like this just because its THUMBS DOWN rate is pretty high at the moment? Are you a little child who needs her mom's advice whenever you have to take a decision on whatsoever matter? Come on...LOL!

Please use your brain instead of that of others....and if you want to test it but at the same time don't want to mess up the registry of your machine, just use this magic FREE tool:

As for today's giveaway, it looks like an EXCELLENT program...I've just tested and managed to detect a couple of missing files I was not able to find with other similar tools. So THUMBS UP from me!

Have a nice weekend!

Such software is a matter of trust, both funtionality and programer's privacy policy.
This said, am not comfortable with a company who does not publish any information about their loation and mask their location with servers in Utah/USA - but from description/wording on their homepage it is obvious this company is not near an english speaking country!

As I am not fully convinced, I will not try this one out.

Why should I have confidence in software whose blurb reads like a bad translation into pseudo-English from Chinese or whatever language? Am I supposed to just blindly believe that their software code-writing is somehow a lot better?
