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.

I copy his comments…
“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 (see report below) ??? . Overall I like it so far. Hats off to egomoo.”

Hello :)
Thank you for promotion. This program is very good. I had a test version.

@PapyLuc
The file was uploaded to Virus Total and came back clean. None of my other security programs flag it either so I feel confident it is a false positive.
@28 – Slasher :
MERCI à vous pour la réponse ET aussi à dotTech (Ashraf) … for his work although sometimes we speak ill.
BYE.
Ps : sorry, I use a translator – http://www.frengly.com/ -
Thanks Ashraf. I will try using this on my sister’s computer which seems to have a virus hiding somewhere on it. Will see if it can find it.
Have tried several times to get it to register but it keeps coming back as EVALUATION. I am running Windows Vista Premium 32 bit. Any help would be appreciated.
The PC of a friend is just infected with the rogue “Antispycraft.com”.
I’ve give him this promo in the hope it will help.
Thanks a lot.
Thanks for this! running Se7en x64 error message when tring to insert key! and every time i open the program, so it stays in trial mode but works fine also i cant find the option to re-insert the key so i have to uninstall and try again please if someone can help it would be greatly appre.

@egomoo: If you haven’t tested it on Win7 64 bit, why is this on the front page of your site?
“Safe Returner is compatible with the Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit !”
finally i got it to run…..( actually i download from developer site and it didnt work, so i downloaded fresh from dottech and it worked)
but the new problem is- it is not registering…. same problem as reported by comment no 17 anthony jolley….
any help…
Same 64 bit Windows 7 problem here. Installs OK but when you try to run the program it displays a screen full of garbage and says 32 bit OS needed. It’s now uninstalled. Anyone have a Win 7 64 bit solution
@egomoo: @Greg Bern: sorry im having problems understanding your english are you saying that there are problems with (@hotmail and @live) in deliverence of your products keys?? cause for me your product works fine (Se7en x64) in TRIAL mode only. Error mesage when i try adding key! and your link to regester is broken! thanks for your help and good luck.
Win 7 64 pro user and to fix everyone’s solution would be after you download the program, run the executable file as administrator!! Worked for me and the program runs smooth and maybe too fast? Scan only took a couple of minutes and came up with about 10 false positives when in Expert mode. Question, why does the scan only take a couple of minutes with the settings left alone and when I added the files to my ignore list they were not stored. I rebooted, ran the program again and the same files came up so maybe there’s a problem with your ignore list. I did not turn anything off, have Imunet running, MSE and Avast with Comodo firewall.
The only thing that is readable when I try to run the program is this ” !This program must be run under Win32″. I am using Win 7 64 bit Ultimate.
I don’t think the program is installing correctly as the icon that appears on my desktop looks like a notepad icon. Have tried several installs
Just downloaded and ran the first scan. Scan speed is impressing and very light. The COM version doesn’t work on my pc but the EXE does all the jobs. But, it needs internet connection to verify some files. Thanks, Ashraf!
Many thanks for this giveaway..:)
Thank you very much, Ashraf. This is an excellent giveaway. Cheers, my friend.
Many thanks asscraft. good prog.
Good giveway, thx.
@egomoo (or Ashraf, if he knows the answer)
I’m a bit confused about the serials given. I got mine a while ago and it’s a 80 character long one. I told my sister to get one too and the one she’s got is 95 characters long.
Which one is the correct length?
I see people having trouble activating the program, maybe it’s because their serial’s the wrong length?
As this is a time limited offer, could the developer or Ashraf shed some light?
THX.
@egomoo: What do we do about the Windows 7 not registering.
Working fine on Win7 64 bit. Running as Administrator as lazyboy suggests seems to be the key. ( something I would have thought anyone running Win7 64 would do anyway. ;) )
Found 3 False Positives, including “explorer.exe”, Essential PIM, and a system driver. This scanner could be dangerous in the wrong hands. Be careful!
people using windows 7, after downloading, right click on file and run as administrator. Registered for myself and program works, people must be doing something wrong or there’s something on your computer messing with the program.
Can this be used as an additonal layer of defense, that is: can Safe Returner run in conjunction with other anti-malware as Emsisoft, or is it incompatible with real-time anti-malware.
I have the same registration problem as #17 (anthony jolley)
I’m running 32 bit XP-sp3
