  1. I am also giving Returnil a spin.

     

    Liked the fact that I could read the help file just before I pressed the install button! One thing I think would make it slightly more user friendly to people who are giving this kind of app a try for the very first time is more info about the virtual side.

     

    It assumes that people will know how to save things there, some people won't, it would be great if it gave an couple of examples of say what to do to save an email if you have system protection turned on, and how to save a downloaded program there, it sort of misses those instuctions out and assumes knowledge on the part of the user.

     

    It is quite amazing that this is free really. I shall keep it as it runs okay with sandboxie and I shall probably use it with system protection off and just turn session protection on when I want to look at something and also this allows me to keep any avg or avira updates without having to save them somewhere else .

  2. What is RVSMOVER?

     

    From Returnil FAQ's

    > What does the RVSMOVER utility do?

     

    WARNING: the following information is not recommended for inexperienced users! If you do not completely understand the potential consequences involved with moving system folders, DO NOT DO THIS! NOTE: This utility is currently designed for those who want to make the move permanent as part of their use of RVS System Protection

     

     

     

    As part of our development process, we create a number of concept and testing programs that are designed to explore solutions internally without making changes to the main program. In this specific case, we created a utility that would allow the user to move some System Folders to an alternate partition including the Virtual Partition called RVSMOVER and is included in the Returnil Business Edition installation. The utility is located in the (default) "C:\Program Files\Returnil" directory. This utility will allow an option for experienced users who want to move their Desktop, IE Favorites, and IE Cookie system folders to an alternate drive.

     

     

     

    We strongly caution the user that this is not a trivial thing to just experiment with, again, if in doubt, stay clear... We also recommend that if you are an experienced user who is familiar with this type of configuration that you should choose an alternate partition on your existing HDD to minimize any potential issues you might experience. When moving system folders it is essential that the target directory/partition be one that will boot with Windows!

  3. Does it say anything in the event viewer at the time that you try to run it?

     

    Just in case you aren't familiar with where it is, go to start>control panel>admin tools>event viewer and look under system, if there is an error double click on it and it will give some info.

     

    Sorry if you already know this :)

  4. I can see the benifits of this for business users perhaps but for stand alone PC's?

     

    Santa Clara-based Intel envisions consumers one day signing up for a service that allows their Internet service providers to automatically install security upgrades and patches, whether the PC is turned on or not. Once they return to their computers, users would then get an alert with a detailed record of the fixes.

     

     

    Intel is hoping consumers will decide that the convenience of having a round-the-clock watchdog outweighs the obvious privacy concerns.

  5. If you disable this service the program won't run.

     

    However you can if you want set it to manual so it will start when YOU ask it to.

     

    Do on your computer, start>run, and type in services.msc then scroll down and look for aww service, double click on it and set the startup type to manual, press apply and then ok.
