1.0 out of 5 stars Danger on CA PC Tune-up 2, May 28, 2010

DANGER! CAUTION! DANGER! CA PC Tune-Up did not work for me and I believe it ti be a scam to obtain information from your computer. I installed the program, registered it with my e- mail etc., logged on ( I thought) and let it scam my computer. Then a "report" screen came on that gave a hint at what problems it found. When I tried to have the program fix the problems it said that I had to log in again. I did so TEN TIMES and it kept saying the same thing. I removed the program from my computer and then re-installed it and went through the same procedure with the same result. I called the given "customer service" number and after over a 15 minute wait, an "associate" whose speech I could barely understand answered from India, Pakistan or somewhere (big surprise). More information was requested and I was asked if they could take control of my computer to obtain the information they needed to fix my problem! I asked if they could just tell me how to log in and was told no, they had to take control of my computer. I refused to do so and will now return the program to CompUsa where I was pretty much conned into buying the program when I went there to buy a memory upgrade.

1. Decent spy-ware check
2. Defrags hard disk (but you got one already)
3. Checks device drivers (did not seem to update many, if any)
4. Some windows parameter tuning (little needed here)

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of Money AND TIME!!!, August 1, 2011

This review is from: CA PC Tune-Up Plus 2.0 3-User (DVD-ROM)

I was sold this product by Tigerdirect, I was buying RAM for my machine and the salesman insisted, and guaranteed a 200% increase in speed if I buy this CA PC Tune-Up 3.0. I was thinking, why would Microsoft have their Operating System perform at only 50% capacity? The sales associate said hey you can use it then just return it at a full refund. What's the damage right?

It did a scan and of course suggested I buy more products and services, and then did a defrag and registry clean up, both of which Windows 7, Vista, and XP all already do natively. Total speed increase: 0%. I got more speed when I bought more RAM. As long as you maintain your machine with defragmenter and disk clean up every few weeks or so, depending on use, you should have no reason to even think about purchasing this product. It's funny how they advertise that most Fortune 500 companies use this product, but they nver mention who, not even a single company.

The reason this get's One Star, and not 2 is because of the refund process. It's not a refund, I called the number they had me call, got re-routed twice to India, and by the time I got to the person that would help me with my return it had been 45 minutes. Everyone kept asking me the registration name, and activation code, serial number, email, etc. Finally when I got to the guy to help me he sends me to a website, turns out I didn't need to call anyone, but that's not indicated on any documentation on their product, receipt, or website. The website then, of course, asks you all the same information again, plus mailing address. It then has you print out a form, then fill it out with the same information again, mail it along with a receipt, and then you will receive a gift card in 8-10 weeks.

Not only did I waste $40 on this crap software, but I also wasted 80 minutes, paper, envelopes, ink, a stamp, and a trip to the post office, to get my $40 bucks back. Obviously had I known it was going to take this much to get $40 back I probably wouldn't have wasted my time and just swallowed it. This product is of use to no one that knows how to use Windows, and they make it extremely inconvenient to return, this to me is very shady, and now I feel swindled.
