I bought this because I am preparing to wipe my computer and re-install windows. I was hoping for a useful tool. Hope is a double edged sword. Being the cautious type, i tried it on a virtual machine. I ran the backup program, and it put an executable on the desktop. I then deleted the sound card and network driver. I ran the executable, and received a pop up wanting to send an email to a .ru email address. I said no. It then tried to open a web page. With the NIC disabled, that failed. Just to see what happened, I tried it again after re-installing the NIC driver. I got the same popup, and it opened a web page wanting me to log in to Facebook, in order to join 220,000,000 others in "liking" their software. After closing that, it told me the driver had failed to download, and offered a link to software that could fix my problem. The link led you to their web page selling this same software.
