As promised earlier this week, we have a real treat for everyone this weekend: Everyone can get a 1 year license of Returnil Virtual System 2010 Home Lux for free! Before I delve into how to get the 1 year license, let me give a quick overview of what RVS 2010 is for those that don’t know.
Returnil Virtual System 2010 is a unique security software that protects your computer in an unorthodox manner. RVS 2010 uses a powerful combination of anti-virus, anti-malware, and a virtual system to protect your computer from all types of viruses and unwanted system changes. The traditional security software like Avira, Kaspersky, Norton, AVG, NOD32, etc. actively, and on demand, detect and remove infected files. RVS 2010, on the other hand, has a two pronged attack to the malware problem:
- Virtual System – RVS creates a “virtual copy” of your main system partition (the partition which you have Windows installed) and whatever changes are made to your computer are dumped when you restart your computer (there are opinions to tweak how it does that, but generally speaking, that is how it works).
- Anti-Virus/Anti-Malware – RVS also includes the traditional anti-virus/anti-malware live protection and on-demand scanning features.
Because of this two pronged approach which incorporates traditional and innovative protection capabilities, if used properly, a user can keep his/her computer 100% clean with RVS 2010. If you desire more detailed information on RVS, please read dotTech’s full review on Returnil Virtual System 2010 Home Lux. As indicated in the full review, RVS 2010 is one of dotTech’s favorite programs.
Now, RVS 2010 comes in four different flavors:
The free license you get via dotTech is of Home Lux – a $39.95 value.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long are the licenses we are getting?
A: They are 1 year licenses (12 months).
Q: How long will this promotion last?
A: This promotion will end at 12 AM (Pacific Standard Time) on Monday December 14, 2009. At that time, new licenses will no longer be given out.
Q: If I already have a subscription of RVS 2010 Home Lux, can I still use your license?
A: Yes! However, the license you get via dotTech will “replace” your license so only use it if you have less than 12 months left on your subscription.
Q: Is there a shelf life to the license?
A: Sort of. You can only get the license for free until this promotion lasts. However, after you get the license, you can activate it anytime from now and 12 months from now. The catch is the clock starts to tick once you get the license so if you, for example, activate it 6 months from now you will only have 6 months left on it.
Q: Can I share the license with my friends and family?
A: This freebie is for everyone, including your friends and family. If you would like your friends, family, and others to be able to take advantage of this great offer, please send them to this page so they can get a license for themselves!
The promotion started earlier than the previously mentioned Friday date.
First not Ashraf comment!
and just cuz I like saying it: I WAS RIGHT!
@Ashraf: If I use the form to get the first email but not the second have I activated the license?
@Samuel: You won’t get a license until you confirm your e-mail address via the second e-mail. I can’t promise you will get a license if you try to confirm your e-mail address via the second e-mail after Sunday.
@Ashraf: Curses, guess theres only one way to find out….
Ashraf – A sincere “thank you” for all the dedication you give to this wonderful website. Your articles and well-rounded reviews are consistently insightful, extremely educational and have now become part of my daily routine. I wouldn’t dare miss a day! Best wishes for even more success and growing readership in the coming year!
@OutDesigns: A sincere welcome to you! Now my turn to say thank you for the kind words and being an active dotTechie!
Thanks…will give this a try
Brilliant! Thanks Ashraf!
Ashraf, this looks interesting, but I have a question. Eset NOD 32 and Malwarebytes Pro are installed on all my machines. Do I read it correctly that RVS replaces these while it’s active? I understand having to de-activate the AV while installing; Eset would probably have a fit! I’ve looked through the RVS forums but can’t find an answer.
Thnx
Many thanks Ashraf. Question : am i right to say that Returnil is way better than Deep Freeze?
SmokeX^ above- Returnil is kindof like having & using a 2nd computer that you use to test all new stuff you download, and to keep your pc safe from stuff that might come through your browser. It makes a copy of your pc for itself to use, without saving to your harddisk. If something bad happens while you use the new thing in Returnil, you can just turn off Returnil or PC (actually once u activate Returnil, to close it, u must restart PC) & Voila! Your computer is just the very exact same it was before you activated Returnil. You do need to pay attention to the “save to your real computer or not” part, though. It works so well, it’s like a dream. My only problem with it, is that I save a lot of stuff online to my PC for later reference, & I haven’t tried the save to my real disk yet, so I often don’t have Returnil running. That’s a huge mistake on my part! Now that I thought about it here, I will start using it most of the time when I go online, as I always should have done.
THANK YOU ASHRAF!!! :) I am thrilled!
Thanks much for this. Quick question on installation — I get a pop up asking what application I want to launch this with; I believe Quick Time may be suggested; apparently I don’t have that, do I need to find and install that first? (Hopefully, it’s not too too large, as I have dial-up service…)
I apologize for posting a novice question; I don’t mind if the dotTech community is snickering!
Thanks for help!
Big Thanks! Very nice product!!!
THANKS !!!!
What’s the difference between Returnil Virtual System 2010 Home Lux from the giveaway and Returnil Virtual System Premium Edition 2.0 version I bought in the past?
My favourite software too, but after trying this 2010 version from Giveawayoftheday some time ago, I reverted back to the 2008 Premium version, which I also had for free, but will expire next month.
The anti-malware in this edition is having a lot of false negatives, and creates conflicts with other programs, which never happen with 2008 edition. Besides, it seems that this 2010 edition is slowing down my computer, and also the very intrudingly big flash screen is very annoying. They must have limited the function of this fine software to the main job it specializes, leaving the others to more specialized softwares.
Thanks, Ashraf..another great freebie!
Downloaded,received emails etc almost immediatly. Installed with no problem/s up to the point where the “key” had to be entered and then all hell broke lose !!My computer developed a mind of its own. Received a string of messages, including one informing me that my firewall is no longer functioning etc. etc. Two restore actions required for things to revert to “normal” Quite frankly I am scared to try a second install. Anyone with a similar experience?
Hi,
Thanks .
Best regards !
