   Review - VistaTweaker

   0.5 Beta (Mar 2, 2008)

   Okay I have no idea what in the world you guys are talking about when you say "it doesn't work", "the file is corrupt" etc.
   
   First off I'd like to address the user who said that it was corrupt. As here it works for me, I do have a few ideas in mind on why it's not working for you. More then likely your Firewall/AntiVirus is dropping some packets are blocking access to the RAR archive. Some AntiVirus/Firewalls are very sensitive and treat anything that can change system settings as a "Hack Tool" and I've even seen AntiVirus software delete these files.
   The other possibility is that your router is blocking IP Address/Dropping packets.
   Or it could be your internet connection (such as Wireless interference)
   
   I saw some people who said that it offers little to change or it wasn't as what you are expecting. I'd like to let you know that TweakVista (not to be confused with VistaTweak) and other popular programs don't offer everything that TweakUI had to offer. TweakUI was special in what it could do.
   However, I do admit it is "missing" a few things but hey no software is perfect and it looks like the intent of this software is to change system behavior unlike TweakUI which sole purpose was to change how windows looks (e.g. Icons, desktop icons, shortcut arrow, etc all looks).
   
   I like this program because it offers a variety of settings to tweak and change and it small and portable no installation! That means I can store in on my Flash Drive for easy tweaking of settings that my customers want (yes I am a computer technician).

   2.4.0 Beta 4 (Feb 23, 2008)

   The older version I was using for a long time. Then I saw FlashGet 2.0 Beta 4 and 5. I tried Beta 5 and the Chinese installation wasn't too convincing but I didn't mind.
   
   Then after reading these reviews I was thinking "Yeah right, spyware in FlashGet please". I opened it up and I saw tons of ads in the window, and a popup right after install too.
   
   The ads advertise spyware. So once you click on them your infected. I'd advice to do what other users say and go to olderversion.com and get 1.8. I used 1.96 just fine no problems.
   
   Although 2.0 Beta 5 has a nice UI it's all in Chinese and it differently installs spyware!!
