    That's easy.

    1. Uninstall restorator the usual way.

    2. Perform a regclean with ccleaner.

    3. Open regedit and click on computer on top

    4. Press F3 and type "restorator" without the quotes
    and delete the key or value it finds.

    Repeat step 4 untill it finds no more.

    5. Press F3 and type "Restorator2007" without the quotes
    and delete the key it finds.

    Repeat step 5 untill it finds no more.

    6. perform another regclean with ccleaner.

    Reboot and reinstall restorator.

    Mind this doesn't always work. Haven't tried it on restorator yet.
    There are other methods too incase this don't work :

    revert your clock to a past day (before trial ended). this probably will not work.

    or

    make a backup of registry before installation of restorator. When trial ends, uninstall restorator and restore the registry backup. This works.

    or

    use an installation monitoring app to monitor installation of restorator. when trial ends, uninstall from the monitoring log u have created. This works too.

    or

    system restore to a date before installation of restorator. this cleans out other apps too though...Definitely works, but at a cost...

    or

    use a cracked version. But caution is advised, as fake and altered versions are floating around.

    or

    reinstall windows, which is a bit drastic IMHO. Not really advised.

    I caught a nasty called RAIDHOST.EXE - Trojan.Dropper/Win-NV when I downloaded a warez copy the other night. Raped my pendrive with some other crap aswell. I've since uninstalled Avira since it couldn't even find any viruses or malware. The only thing that told me somethings wrong was Comodo blocking "raidhost.exe's" outbound on the next startup. Malwarebytes' finally got rid of it, thankfully. I had to eventually reinstall the OS due to system being so damn buggy.

    So yeah, stay away from the warez for this neat lil app...:D

    I hope this FINALLY proves the PERFORMANCE of Comodo. Too many people keep disregarding that, but it IS the best u can have. A little bit off-topic here, sorry 4 that...

    I wouldn't go that far. Any firewall would block an outbound request if you have outbound rules. If anything Avira dropped the ball for me on this one. It's Avira job to pick off the baddies on the harddrive not my firewall. I'm lucky I layer my protection. Might take me upwards of 15 minutes for a deep scan but I could honestly say MS' Security Essentials is quickly becoming my favorite AV.

    You can extract the images. In raw or in bmp or in whatever. I have been using it for a long time in the XP customizing.

    You can see the images in the rt pane just as plain as can be..Just like the other tools.

    that's correct. Though it's supposed to support x64
