This timer is specific to the "Work The Dash and Take a Break" formula discussed at:
http://www.43folders.com/2005/10/11/procrastination-hack-1025/
The idea is to have a timer that will run for 10 minutes doing a task, then take a 2 minute break, and repeat 5 times, and you have 1 hour of work. This can be of great help for procrastinators who desperately want to find a way to keep focused on their work.

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.
We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.
This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.
Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.
It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

Get back to work!.
There's loads of these types of productivity tools and it's no wonder one of them comes from the 43 folders website. The utility is clever, although I doubt you can really get yourself into a good working habit. I like the idea of breaking up tasks in small sections of several minutes, seperated by micro breaks. Maybe if you get used to it this program can work for you.
Pros:
Clever system of short work periods and ultra short breaks
Easy to calculate
Quick setup
Cons:
Rudimentary
Won't work for everybody More
