Every now and then, when you install a new USB gadget, another USB
device cries foul and stops working. To find out why, run this
utility, which identifies and tests every USB port on your system
and each device plugged into it.

Strengths: When it works, it is very useful for neatly enumerating USB devices, VID/PIDs and device relationships. I have used it very successfully for investigating USB configurations related to embedded devices. Very nice visual display format and drilldown design. Dispalys useful information in well-organized fashion.
Weaknesses: This program was mostly developed some years ago and it appears that little if anything has been done to update it since. It just blows up on my desktop system. With some additional work it could be quite useful but I think the owner just wants to milk it. Don't spend any money on it.
Overall Evaluation: Sometime useful, buggy, crashes often. could be great but no indication of quality commitment from author.

Overall Evaluation: This download is not a trial of the product. Shame on you PC World! You will get an interface demo and lots of marketing hype. But you won't get to try the product. Running it populates the interface with fake demo data and then creates a "report" using the demo data. You won't get to find out whether the program actually works, much less if it is of any value. Note that if you direct the self extracting RAR file to any folder other than the default, the installation will fail.
