I gave it a spin; and noticed a fairly large flaw immediately - there's no update to bring in the most recently-discovered definitions.

Presumably the tool works by looking in general for system hooks and similar; but as the executable is 'frozen in time'; you'd need to download and run it immediately for it to be any use; and that's probably valuable metadata for someone...wouldn't surprise me in the least if downloads from the site moved you up the "to be black-bagged" list.
