Most of the the time, they reply with link to other webpage regarding your problem. NO INTEREST In fixing error you have.
Some reply is just nasty brush-off, I CAN NOT recommended it.
Very disappointing.

Waste of money.
August 18, 2015

I used ReviverSoft's Registry Reviver (RR) for about two years without any problems. About ten days ago Webroot's Secure Anywhere (SA) began finding malware on the program. According to Webroot, they have marked Registry Reviver as a PUA or "Potentially Unwanted Application." Consequently, my computer will no longer run RR.

A tech at ReviverSoft told me in a defensive, patronizing, and nasty reply to turn off SA when running RR. The problem was SA not RR.

Not BBB accredited
January 9, 2016

Both some positive reviews and the actual company representatives themselves, in replies to reviews, claims it is be BBB accredited. It is not, just look it up for yourself. Even the Reviversoft website claims it is BBB certified and their actual BBB link only goes to the BBB homepage, not any page regarding this company or their BBB status. All companies that are Reviversoft LLC in Walnut Creek are not accredited with the California BBB. It does have a rating but it is not accredited. See the photo attached

They have some pretty decent products up for grab. I've been using driver reviver for a while now and it has served me well. The new version is a lot better than the old one, most notably because it downloads and installs the update for you. Also got a chance to give Registry Reviver 2.1 a try and it seemed pretty decent, at least in comparison to some of the other genuinely rogue programs I've come across. Maybe when my current cleaner's subscription runs out, I'll give this one a try.

I've been using both registry reviver and driver reviver for a few months now. Both programs have served me well and their support folks have taken good care of me. Hopefully, if all goes well, I may choose to renew their products. Not sure why one of the reviews below talk about fake errors, as their registry program is by far one of the best I've used till date. They also seem to be BBB accredited, so they are pretty reliable.

I found I could not download it. I tried to contact them but ended up going round in circles. I tried to register but said before they accet, I had to check my emails to see if I have received their email. They claimed to have sent me an email twice. I got an email off their website and tried to email them and it wasn't recognised. I'm already very suspcious. Don't bother to purchase. I have had trouble access my emails so I thought there was something wrong and there was a message to update my 'driverl I don't think I will be able to get my money back. But I won't be paying a subscription next year. Icouldn't download lete alone install so I'll get rid of it. Norton said it was safe.

Sorry but no...
December 20, 2015

It was not cheap, but sounded good (OK that should sound a few warning bells). Downloaded and installed onto W10 no problem. It scanned and "fixed" my PC. However - I lost all functionality. I couldn't access apps and the touch screen stopped working. I had to do a full system restore back to factory and then re-load programmes and updates to W10. I contacted support who, to be fair, responded quickly and accepted the proof I sent them of the damage caused. They also offered a full refund of the 47.99 gbp. All well and good so far. However, the refund after three weeks has still not arrived and now there is no response from support to my repeated emails. I have had to raise a PayPal dispute. The e-seller is Cleverbridge who say they are not responsible for the product and just act for Riversoft as an e-commerce site. So I have now raised it up to a PayPal claim and am awaiting the outcome. Thankfully I used PayPal and will see what happens, but my advice would be to use with great caution and avoid it if you are using Windows 10.

They advertise free, nothing free but scan. Then pop-up ads continually interfere with what you do. Very hard to get rid of. Nothing but malware.

I now give "PC Reviver, River Soft, cleverbridge" a FIVE STAR RATING ON THEIR REFUND and CUSTOMER SERVICE ~ 'River Soft' refunded their Debit $ Amount ~ Deposited back into my Bank Account on Thursday, 3 June 2021, and 'River Soft' Cancelled that Unauthorised (by me) Annual 'PC Reviver' Debit.

As to current date (Tuesday, 1 June 2021) PC Reviver (Reviver Soft cleverbridge) Responded immediately via e-mail late that same day Friday, 28 May 2021 into Officially REFUNDING the Debit Amount in 5 to 7 Working Days from the 28 May 2021 and Cancelled the their 'Subscription' ~ Upon receiving the Refund into my Bank Account ~ I will Post an Up-dated Comment.

Mid 2020 - I purchased "PC Reviver" (listed Apps Installed as "Corel Corporation"?) for $50.59c (AUD$) to get my new PC Laptop working faster than manual typing speed on the Internet - PC Reviver being 100% useless. I purchased for Life "Clean My PC" - Worked wonders at speeding up my Internet use. PC Reviver (cleverbridge) suddenly deducted $65.99c out of my Account last night (27 May 2021) - E-mails sent to cleverbridge in Germany and got my Bank onto it. Uninstalled PC Reviver.
