I knew it would come to this - same experience about a year ago.
Looking for a solution to a problem, Regservo advertisement offers the solution with a free scan which immediately found several hundred problems with the traditional fix of several of them and a full cure once the money is paid. While still thinking it over things started going wrong necessitating the purchase in desperation. Needless to say things did not improve despite online conversations with a guy named Matt.
Paypal was informed but were unable to extract any money from them. Furthermore a complaint was lodged with a department apparently affiliated with the FBI but also no feedback.
I wound up purchasing Kaspersky with a five day scan getting everything back to normal.
All the negative reviews recite the same set of events I encountered. It is false advertising, a scam, probably a phish, and assuredly a con job. I suspect, but can't confirm, that the grave "errors" the tech alleged were actually caused by the scan, and there is some probability that only they know that (since they created the errors) and can "fix" them. I am sure asking for a refund would be like trying to mash a rock to make vintage wine. Mindless and ineffectual.
RegSERVO is a scam. It did nothing tom fix my computer and they had a person contact me to check my computer online. It was a sales pitch for over $100 more to fix it. Within the required time frame I requested a refund. I received an email stating it would take 5 to 10 business days. It's been over 30 days. Called again nothing.
100% SCAM. Said in writing they were only charging $30, in reality charged close to $40. Didn't send confirmation email of bill as promised. Took a very long time to get through and did NOT solve 100% of my problems with my laptop.
TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY. Would not respond to emails. Claim it takes at least 24 hours to do so. Avoid this company like a plague. FRAUD.
Don't purchase this product. It will shut-down your computer and cost you more than the product is worth to fix. Try to get a refund from this mob is like catching a cab to the Moon. Have contacted them mfor a refund several times and they do not even reply - professional rip off merchants. STAY AWAY from this company.
I was on a website and was prompted like many of the other reviews were. There were errors on my machine, allegedly. After I bought the software, I got the hard sell from them wanting me to let them repair my computer. I told them 'no' four times before I told them they weren't hearing me. The fix they were trying to sell me started at 199.00. When I said no, they offered it for 99.00. Scam artists. If they pop up on your screen, just delete them. They're legally stealing from everyone who buys their junk.
I tried it and it found several thousand "errors" in the registry. Most were junk items (leftovers) from deleted installs. All the messages were "xxx does not exist". If it doesn't exist then it most likely is not a problem if you are trying to find malware. PLUS, I did not "buy" the agent's attempt to let him on my box to install an applet to get a license key. I have never heard of that type of "LOGIC" before. I'm going to ask for a refund tomorrow. It's just too late in the evening (actually AM in Boston.
I purchased their software and they enter my computer. After that my computer became slow then some of the features of Windows 10 are not working correctly. Then all of the sudden after few days my computer crashed. Unfortunately I didn't get the activation key. Therefore I can't re-install it. I signed up only a trial period period then all of a sudden I was charged in my card for my 1 year subscription without any notice. I'm already unhappy with the software during my trial period and then I was forced to pay for 1 year.
Ditto ditto ditto to all of the above 1 star reviews. Wish Id read them before wasting time and $!
The ad promised to fix exception code 0xc*******. Of course it did not.
Am now trying to get a refund. I uninstalled this junk-never again!
This stupid box appears every morning telling me that I have big trouble, I am in the red under the lots of problems lurking side. Finally, I decide on a whim to just get the thing and it will run in the background and leave me alone. I did. BAD BAD BAD - it wiped out 2 of the applications I need to get my job done. I fear there is no way to get them back without admitting that I downloaded this crap. I might lose my job over this program. I will never never never download from a pop-up again. They canceled my order but I have to log on to the regservo site to talk about undoing the damage. I am afraid to go there. Sucks sucks sucks!
I tried regservo and it didn't work to fix my error regservo does no more the cccleanner which is free tried to get a refund but regservo will not answer my e-mail stay away from this product it is a rip off
Thanks to all those who penned warnings about this product. I had foolishly downloaded RegSERVO on my laptop as well, and went through the hoops of running the scan, getting an enormous number of 'problems' to fix, and then, when clicking the 'Fix' tab, being prompted to register and then pay. However, the browser wouldn't open to RegSERVO's shopping-cart page (whether I clicked the credit card or PayPal option). Figure I had a lucky escape. I have now uninstalled the software.
Yes, you have to pay more than the teaser rate. Once you do, you are looked after until everything is completely satisfactory. I am not a shill for this site, but can assure you of their authenticity.
I wish I would have visited this site before downloading their software. You must talk to a rep before installing the software. Using remote access, she went to various areas of my mostly-new laptop (August 2013) and noted all the errors, etc. This went on for at least ten minutes. She then said, instead of paying $350 or more at a Staples or a Best Buy, they can refer me to one of their tech people to do a "tune-up." I didn't buy it. Beware. Stay away.
OMG. I'm still shaking. Once the remote "John" had installed RegServo he/she tried to hard-sell me on other programs. I declined politely several times until I finally typed, "Thank you for your help. Have a nice evening."... at which point I tried to end the remote conversation.
That's when the bizarre ensued. It became a battle with my cursor - I would try to 'X' out of the conversation and he would take over and scroll around, highlighting parts of the conversation. This went on for some time as I was as scared as if someone had broken into my home.
I made it to the Windows icon to shut down but he hit 'cancel.' I ended up just holding down the shut down button, which worked, but when I powered up again after a while, the chat screen was still there. I made it to that to 'X' out of before he noticed, I guess, but I wonder what damage has been done. I uninstalled the program, but who knows.
I've used remote help in the past, but nothing like this has ever happened. I will never use it again.
They are a rip off dont even try they charged me 299.99 instead of 2.99 they did refund that but now wont give me my 39.90 back this has been going on since 6/4/14 they keep jagging me around please please stay away it is a scam from hell!
Please believe all the reviewers who describe this product as a scam. That's exactly what it is. Save your money and, more importantly, save yourself the hassle and additional expense of having to get a computer professional to sort out the problems this product will generate in your computer if you download it.
Like other reviewers, I responded to an advert (hosted by my internet provider and home page) which said it would fix my issues. After scanning I had to subscribe to get fixes. Having subscribed I was told to chat on-line with their technician to activate it. Over 1 hour later I had been constantly told about the serious issues I had with my PC. Technician constantly avoided questions about how to get fixes during this time. Eventually told me it would need to be referred to a more experienced technician and I would have to pay more. PC is now worse, if anything. It's a scam. Trying to get refund through paypal. AVOID. AVOID.
They have to go into your computer to download the app I didn't like that but I foolishly let them My Norton virus immediately said that it was no good when they were in my computer and immediately uninstalled it
I was foolish to do business with this company. They ended up getting $800.00 out of me and screwing up a 1 1/2 year old computer that they were just supposed to clean up. They are very high pressure sales and I fell for it! I have called tech support a dozen times and asked to speak to a manager. They will not allow me to speak to anyone and want to keep doing tech support checks that do NOTHING TO FIX WHATEVER THEY DID TO SCREW UP MY COMPUTER. The worst part is the new security software they sold me at 4x the regular retail price...
Answer: Same here. I renewed the annual fee for a new key 8 weeks ago and I'm still waiting. It's a lost cause. REGServo are rubbish!
Answer: I am trying to get a refund. Do you by chance have a phone number for reg servo?
