Has anyone used Regrun Reanimator?

I'm wondering if anyone has tried Regrun Reanimator? I'm not a huge fan due to the poor language translation and hard to get to grips with interface but having used it a few times I do sometimes find that it detects problems.

The main uses for me are : Delete files on reboot, malware and unknown file scan, detailed system report. Fix problems.

Im not sure buddy il have a look into it and see what i can find! cheers

RegRun Reanimator Free Download theres what i could find on it, I read some reviews, it seems to do what it says on the tin, il give it a download and see what the script is

Manufacturer's Link

RegRun Reanimator - free Trojan/Adware/Spyware removal tool - Greatis Software

I can see that it can be used to create a fix list but in that respect FRST is a lot easier to use!

It's opinions on the program's other features that I'd be interested to hear.

Tip: When the program runs a user needs to [x] out of the main window to get access to the other features. It took me a while to spot that.

Don't think I like the idea of sending in a "report" and then executing a file sent by unknown people to clean my machine. I personally wouldn't touch this with an 11 foot pole.

The "send report" option is for inexperienced users only. The program can be used to perform your own repairs.

I'll be sticking with the tried and true. Malware removal is too important to me to trust to something like this.

Its a matter of preference buddy, im sure it does what it says, whether you choose to send a report or not is your choice, again, all suggestions are welcome, ive been busy so ive not had much time but il be giving a look over at the weekend

I have been doing a little investigating and I have noticed that
RegRun Reanimator has been around for about 5 years.
Their really hasn't been any what I call good or bad reports.
When I go to sites that I consider very good with infection they just kind of ignore the RegRun report the OP post and recommends one or more of the tried and tested programs and clean the computer.
I haven't found any site that I trust recommending RegRun.
The only place that I have found pushing this program is in this thread.
Now if some where on this Forum or Bleeping Computer Forum one or more of the security experts recommended it I would consider it.
As of now indianacarnie 11 foot pull isn't long enough. I would stay farther than that away from RegRun.

I did notice it wasn't used in this thread.

It wasnt in that thread simply because i havent used it, therefore, am unsure whether its handy or not, from what i read, in terms of reviews i found some "star rating" which had rated it at around 3/3 and a half,after some research and the opinions here i would NOT recommend it as there are several trusted programs that do the same job, as the guru's here seem to be hitting it off with a "longer than 11 foot pole" i would not recommend use unless its proven useful, cheers anyway
