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.

asaenzReviewing 3.2.10006 RC2 (Dec 13, 2011)
Tried recent version and it worked as advertised but I noticed my internet connection was having problems randomly throughout the day and I wasn't able to easily inform the malware detection to ignore some false positives. I switched to a different program, Time Freeze(more in discussion section), and haven't had any internet issues since then. I've bought some extra memory to take advantage of it having the ability to use ram instead of the hard drive as a buffer until you decide to commit changes to the actual disk instead of the virtual disk (which is supposed to save wear and tear on the drive). This effectively renders the hard drive read only which is what some people want. I believe Free and Paid version of RSS are the same ... Paid/Trial version becomes Free version with loss of ability to save files when in virtual protective mode and loss of using system restore points through RSS (called Returnil System Safe now).

Skye-hookReviewing 3.2.10006 RC2 (Oct 8, 2010)
I actually went through the whole stupid sign-up process here just to defend and be fair to Returnil! I have no idea what software the people above were talking about, but it can't be Returnil! #1- it can't possibly give you any "false positives", as it's NOT that kind of software! Were those reviews intentional lies? Seems rather odd. At any rate, what Returnil does is create a pretend 2nd PC for you, so if you install something with a virus or that crashs your system or whatever, you can either save what you did while using it, OR just restart PC, & everything you did while using Returnil just is gone. It's action is similar to having a 2nd invisible hard-drive. The NEW 2011 Returnil has a virus guard also, but that just came out, so that can't be what the false informers above were talking about. There are often free versions of Returnil, so if hostility was due to $, get the freebie. That's what I often do. I love it!

Regarding AvantAge's review
I have not downloaded or used this program at all nor do I intend to as there are other ways to go about this.
My main concern is reviews such as AvantAge who in my mind has shares in the company or a vested interest and I would like to think that all people will decide that his review is null and void with such a glowing and wordy review.
Oh ya.$40 bucks as I said there are better ways of doing this which includes buying av/firewall programs on-sale with 3 licenses.
Oh and as per BitTorrent review... get real and get PeerBlock and d/load all ISP addresses you want to block; like Russia, China and spammers +
Get real AvantAge and flogg your BS else where! -

I'd like to point out that the product I mentioned has a negative side ... it talkes a long time to allocate actual physical memory ... some people don't like delaying the start by 1 minutes much less 10 minutes to allocate 2 GB.
