1.0 out of 5 stars Very bad and dangerous software, December 25, 2005
By Brenda A. Vouers (Wisconsin Rapids, WI United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have been trying to use this product for a week to no avail. I can't get any help throught IOLO's 24/7 email help and the program is very non profesional. It will give a list of fixes it will make but doesn;t give exact nature of fix( like what key or program) and will not let you individually select what to keep.
After running the fix none of my roxio software would work and I had to restore my hard drive to get everything back to the way it was. It would find spyware yet wouldn't clean the spyware and after using numerous othe spyware programs came to the conclusion there wasn't any to find. Also the biggest reason NOT to buy this software is of their refund policy. The give you a 30 day limping trial so therefor no refunds!! Stay away from this one

1.0 out of 5 stars A terrible program, January 18, 2006
By SLP (Elk Grove, CA United States) - See all my reviews
After this product caused chkdsk to run so many times at reboot, I was glad to get this thing off my PC. Also, it does not perform according to options selected, removing items as it sees fit, and it does not propose individual actions before performing them, even though it claims it will. It does not log what changes it does make, and it seems to make no difference at all in my PC's performance. It did free up memory, but it took so long to do it, it wasn't practical anyway. If I could give 5 stars for junk, this product would earn them, rating first in lack of utility; first in destructive performance; first in lack of user control, first in lack of documentation; and first in cost-uselessness.

1.0 out of 5 stars IT Professional's Opinion , May 27, 2006
I am an IT professional responsible for maintaining a network of 300+ computers; I heard about this software on the internet and decided to try it on my home Dell running Windows XP SP2. I'm a hardcore online gamer, so speed and freedom from freezes is essential. As soon as I installed this program, my CPU usage jumped from 12 to 100%. My RAM level was exceeded and my system crashed. It took me 4 hours to remove the program and repair my machine using programs I trust. Stay away from this program.
