I was also thinking the same thing. It appears this file is 2 megs in size, what an incredibly small file for a drive imager. I would install this on your scrap computer to see what happens before installing it on your primary machine.

Hi Inthane One,Sorry, this sounds like a come-on.Without any time to review or investigate this program before you download it, it is very likely that it is extremely malicious.
If you value your data, don't do it. Regards, Jim jimpanes@xxxxxxxxx jimpanes@xxxxxxxxxxxx "Everything is easy when you know how."----- Original Message ----- From: inthaneelf

no arguments please, just honest opinions, eh? here is the rundown: April 25, 2008The Returnil Virtual System Premium Edition is a powerful virtualization technology that completely mirrors your actual computer setup and it can create a virtual storage disk within your PC where you can save documents, data, and files while using the System Protection feature.
Returnil virtualization technology clones a computer's System Partition and boots the PC into this system rather than native Windows, allowing you run your applications in a completely isolated environment. Hence the session and all activity, malicious or otherwise, will happen in the virtual environment, not in the real PC environment. If the PC is attacked or gets infected, all you need to do is to simply reboot the PC to erase all changes. After reboot, the system will be restored to its original state, as if nothing ever happened. All of this without sacrificing computer performance or usability while helping to reduce technical support intervention and the need for routine maintenance.
