After the required reboot after installing, my system was pretty messed up.
uTorrent wouldn't exit anymore. Chrome couldn't retrieve websites. Even shutting down XP wouldn't work.
I disabled the virusscan, but the problems are still here.
Haven't even tried "System Safe" mode yet and I'm not going to try it either. Their FAQ has solutions to quite a few "unable to start/boot the pc". That means to me, there's a big chance it will mess my system up even more. It also states there's a probability it won't uninstall.
Let's hope that part goes right.

It also had a false positive virus warning on a binary containing just resources for a game(compressed graphics, nothing more nothing less).

Registering worked fine after sending my info the 2nd time.

Anyway, gonna try the uninstaller now.

The Good
* Very easy to use once you understand what it does.
* Comes with a built in anti-virus/malware (live protection and on demand scanning).
* Allows user to use "always on" protection or "protection on demand" in terms of turning system safe on/off.
* Allows user to dump all changes made to computer or keep all changes (when system safe is on of course).
* Allows user to select specific files/folders, not on the main system partition, to "lock" at all times.
* Allows user to save changes to user defined specific files/folders while system safe is turned on.
* Can create a "virtual disk" where user can store files and folders which will always be there regardless of if system safe is turned on or off.
* User can access his/her "real" disk and make changes while system safe is turned on.

The Bad
* Built in anti-virus/anti-malware has frequent false positives.
* A prompt to the user, warning the user data will be lost, right before the user restarts or shutdowns would be very handy.

Installed fine, looked good. Registered.
Noticed that this license expires on 11/29/2009. Only a month to use it? I don't think so. Thanks, but no thanks.

I'd like to add: The Uninstall went terribly wrong too.
The progressbar did one 'tick' and stopped. After 10 minutes i decided to stop the proces.
I did a reboot and a warning message appeared "RVS Core not available" or something like that.
The few parts left over were the gui parts of the application. The service behind it was completely gone. Deleted the application folder and the start up item and did a reboot.
Everything is back to normal again. Phew.

Anyway, I wouldn't recommend this application.
I'll stick with Sandboxie.

Since this quickly reverts to the free version, I doubt I'll risk installing it now. Despite Returnil's claims, Returnil is just yet another of a very long line of rollback applications. These have been around for decades, including hardware versions. As far as I'm concerned, by far the best feature-wise was GoBack (defunct). Returnil's huge weakness is its inability to retain its "virtual" state across a Windows restart. Windows SteadyState has more features (although its feature set is different from Returnil's), can be used across restarts, and can save up to 40 GB of changes, although in practice it's more like 32 GB. Returnil's change cache is apparently only limited by disk free space (and your setting). Both work best if the disk is defragmented prior to using them. Other options include application sandboxes, like Sandboxie. I don't know if they ever fixed it (I doubt it), but it had so many incompatibilities and problems on Vista that I found it useless. There are continuous-backup solutions, like Acronis True Image Home 2010 and Rebit, which has both hardware and software solutions. Acronis is less automated but has far more features and better protection of the OS. Acronis also has Try&Decide. Then there are virtual machines. A subset option is System Restore on XP and higher, which has designed limitations (and reliability issues). Each of these options is different and has different strengths and weaknesses.
