CCleaner.com by Piriform you may have to click the "alternative download" button & it will be through File Hippo & it WILL be a full free version... It works wonders for me & they always send updates through email so make sure to subscribe to the email notification... Any more?'s PLEASE ask... =>

My fresh re load of windows on a rebuilt computer with no web connections showed some 300 “errors “ according to Cyberware, while they claimed this needed attention and fixing? Meanwhile the legitimate software “Norton Windoctor” showed no infections at all, and my other legitimate AV software keeps showing no problems as well. Purchase any “non free” AV software and save your self all the BS and trouble that Cyberware brings, and ignore their own write ups claiming to the contrary.

I have experienced the same with several of the 'Free Scan' websites. If you look closely at the 'problems' you will find the directories and problem files don't even exist on your computer.

I am going to try CCleaner now after hearing the good reviews. My last Registry Cleaner worked on my old XP system, but doesn't work on my new laptop with Win 7.

These Pavlovian-repetitive TV, internet, and radio rep-off ads should be a tip-off to you that they're huckster, snake oil sales-jerks. No computer needs you to shell out hard-earned bucks for cram scam software to optimize and/or fix your system. Just use the ware that came with your unit, or download reputable freeware via cnet.com, etc... Jah---eeeeeeezzzzzzz! Get a grip, people.

How do I get this off my credit card charge. I clicked cancel when they said it was an unsecured site after I put in my credit card number, I think it went through anyway. Is there a way to cancel and notify my bank card to make sure no charges are paid. I am a dumb novice and need help. Jus did it today.

As a computer tech and bisness owner I hate products that say they have the answer. I downloaded to program and ran it just to see what would happen. Took me most of the day to get the crap off my machine. If you need your computer cleaned use CCleaner, Cleanup, Avgfree, AD-aware, or spybot. All of these programs with long history.

Why is it that almost all ads ran on T. V. turn out to be scams, and why is crap like this allowed and ran by the networks? I sensed that Maxmyspeed.com was a scam because of the type of ad they were running. I have gotten to the point that I do not watch T. V. any more because the networks keep airing so many commercials that prove that they think we are stupid. I have learned to never reply to the trillions of loud, aggressive and fake ads that are blasted across the screen every five minutes. Turn off your T. V. or at least mute the scammercials and make these scumbags go back to selling crack.
