Returnil Virtual System uses a combination of antivirus and virtualization technologies to protect your system against both malicious software and unwanted changes. Returnil virtualization technology clones computer's System Partition and boots the PC into this system rather than native Windows, allowing you run your applications in a completely isolated and secure environment. All activity is then performed within the virtual environment, ensuring that the operating system itself cannot be compromised by viruses, other malicious software, bad installations or user error. A simple restart is all that is required to return the PC to its original state. To ensure that no viruses are present in the virtual system, Returnil Virus Guard scans the system during the installation of Returnil Virtual System. Whether you are working with files located on your computer or files located in the cloud, Returnil Virtual System will keep both your computer and data safe and secure.

    Decent application. This is the kind of thing that when its needed, its NEEDED, and is a godsend. I've used it in a couple of small businesses for semi-public PCs that were prone to getting f'd up by teenagers with a vendetta for registry hives. Set it up and every time the system boots its at a point YOU left it - no more questions about whats installed since you last interfaced with the PC.

    Now I've also started using it for some friends/family that are virus magnets. I set up their PC the way they like, then install Returnil, create a virtual system from the current 'clean' config, and voila! For these pesky people it is much easier for me to have them call me when they need to add an application (add app & create a new virtual system point), than to call me when their PC has become the digital version of super-staphylococcus.

    There are myriad other uses for this product, but for me the above works splendidly. I give it four stars, which is about the highest review it can get from me. I've yet to see a program worth 5 stars; even my all-time faves like 7zip, UltaVNC Single-Click, ImgBurn, and TFTPd32 only get 4 stars.

    I tried it on XP SP3. It kept reporting false positives. Even the whole Windows\System32 folder was a trojan!. Besides, the disk cache was continuously running out of space.

    It has become indispensable to me. I use it always when I am operating with BitTorrent networks. Note that Returnil is a system virtualizer and does not need configuration. It is not an application-level virtualizer.
