It's a nice general purpose suite of cleanup/fixup tools, some of which are very good. But I have a real issue with the Privacy and Security modules: the clean Internet browser settings are a bit basic, there's no option to keep any cookies you may need, it just wipes the lot. I also have grave doubts as to the effectiveness of the Spyware cleaner, if you go through the manual update procedure, you're advised that the update is complete and there's a window that notes when you last "updated" But the number of signatures loaded in the database has remained resolutely fixed at 77,614 for a long time. Despite going through the motions, there is no evidence that the update has actually achieved anything, indeed rather the contrary. Now whether this is due to a buggy update system, or severe lack of support from Retinax I don't know, but it means the Spyware module appears to be pretty near useless.
