Today dotTech joins forces with SafeReturner Anti-Malware Studio to bring dotTechies 2 year licenses of Safe Returner – an anti-malware program – for free!
Safe Returner is not your typical anti-malware software. It does not have live protection and it doesn’t aim to prevent your computer from malware infections. Rather, using its heuristics engine and signature database, Safe Returner is a tool that aims to clean your computer after it has been infected. Here is a description of what Safe Returner is and a list of its features as per the developer:

Since dotTech has not reviewed Safe Returner, I cannot say how good (or bad) Safe Returner is. However, Softpedia has reviewed Safe Returner and has given it 4/5 stars, so Safe Returner must be doing something right. Since Safe Returner is a security software – and not just your average program – I highly suggest you read Softpedia’s review before you decide if you want to grab Safe Returner or not.
For the next 24-hours, dotTechies are able to grab a 2 year license of Safe Returner for free; if you are interested in getting Safe Returner, follow these simple directions:
Version being given out for free: v1.27.2
Free updates: Yes database updates and program updates (1.x versions only) are free for as long as the license lasts.
Supported OS: Windows 2000/XP/Vista/Win7
Update: If you are on Win7 64-bit, be sure to run Safe Returner as administrator.
Download size: 3.0 MB
Special note: This giveaway is active for 24-hours, from August 28, 2010 03:00 PST to August 29, 2010 03:00 PST. After this 24-hour time period, users will no longer be able to grab the free 2 year license of Safe Returner. However, the developer has informed me anyone that has grabbed the license within the 24-hours can “activate the app whenever they want”. In other words, the timer on the license will start ticking soon as you get it, but you can install/reinstall Safe Returner with the license whenever you want.

a review on Raymond.cc
It is quite effective in an already infected machine, just pay attention to some possible false positive detections.

@Greg Bern: Hi,
I’m sorry for that.
It did test on XP 64 bit ,and Windows 7 32 bit but not windows 7 64 bit as some device reason.
Could you send me the debug log located at %appdata%\safereturner\
of 3 files
log.ini and sub folder debug\ Debug.log error.log to me
egomoo[at]gmail.com
copy your license down as I lost mine and have to start over if can get to run. would like email of lic so can save easier.
trying egomoo help.
Thanks a lot for the promo.
will give it a try.
@egomoo: FYI for those that don’t know, egomoo is the developer of Safe Returner.
Thank you for this one! just ran scan and the only thing it picked up was 2 from microsoft alg.exe and logonui.exe
both are main components for windows operating system. THIS PROGRAM IS VERY VERY GOOD. the developer advises to stop all running programs for a better scan, it works. one of the best give aways since i started comming to your site. THANK YOU Ashraf.
Registration is not user friendly. But beyond that my 5 attempts at running a scan resulted in 5 hangups @ c:\Program Files\superantispyware\sasseh.dll and the message about an “error”occurring; restart the program to try again. Since SUPER AntiSpyware has saved my butt on several occasions and Safe Returner won’t even scan it’s a no-brainer which one I’ll be removing. But my thanks to dotTech.org for the offer and the effort.
I am running WindowsXP Home Edition.
Unable to install this program.
gives the following error:-

i am using Win7 64bit, Avira…
any advice?????
do you need to remove any other malware before installing? Also can I download to my other computer,or laptop later? Thanks Jack B. P.S. Never have heard anything about the snowfox giveaway?
Just tried to put in the licence code but safe returner keeps coming back evaluation
Vielen Dank für dieses Anti-Malware Proggy
Great get, Ashraf and thanks!
Q: How soon does it have to be activated?
I installed on Windows 7 64 Bit. I also got “error” upon start scan. It also installs Ask.com toolbar. UNINSTALLED!!!
Installed in on XP, tried to execute and the notepad comes on with confused text. The only thing I can read is:
MZP ?? ? @ ? ? ?!?L?!This program must be run under Win32
$7
…………………………………..
What could be the problem? Thanks.
Hi Ashraf,
I had no problem what soever in securing the serial code on the promo page.
This program does not Install on my Win 7 64bit and leaves a .scr notepad with garbled message on desktop instead of the short cut file mentioning that it is compatible with 32 bit system or so.
Lucky that I set up the program with Revo uninstaller so I could have a clean un install of left overs….
Regards.
Dwight
thnks
The program installed fine. I was able to get the key and register with no trouble. I have already run a scan which went quick. It only found one thing which appears to be a false positive (sfcfiles.dll). Overall I like it so far. Hats off to egomoo.
No problem downloading, installing and registering on two PCs.
PC 1 Desktop with Win 7 32bit – scanned and didn’t find anything.
PC 2 Laptop with Win XP – scanned and found 2 false positives. I added those to the ignore list.
IMO (at this time) I think this is a great program.
THX Ashraf.
