Registry Booster found 145 System Related Errors and 52 User Related Errors - but then wanted me to *pay* to get the software to fix the errors. Is this like snake oil? A scam of some sort? >> Does anyone else here feel the same way? > > I think most? others know how to google a website to read up on it. > Saddening that you still don't, after all this time. I can Google, Dustin but I've seen nothing that tells me that Uniblue products are malware (you said "The site you quote offers all kinds of malware"). Please cite a reference. I *do* have a real concern. Whilst away on my boat earlier this summer, one of my elderly friends who has two laptops - one XP and the other Vista - downloaded the Uniblue Registry Booster programme, paid for it and installed it on each laptop. He reports that the performance of both computers has improved. (Rolls eyes!) My concern is that he might well have compromised his machines unwittingly, especially in view of Dustin's comments. Advice welcomed! -- Dave

I dont think they are rogue programmes, just more akin to snake oil. They exagerrate the number of errors on your machine they claim they can fix, and they are a few tricks that can be done to make a default system feel like it is running quicker, but probably nothing that ccleaner cant do for free. Has anyone noticed how both Norton and Mcafee have got in on the rogue anti virus business? Instead of spending their energies examining why their woeful security software is incapable of either preventing infection or cleaning up infections, they have actually adopted the business model of the rogue companies. I cam across a person a while ago who had installed a free 'norton security scan', it was warning her about hundreds of serious security infections on her machine and that she should buy the full product to clean them up. The serious security infections? Yes, you got it, tracking cookies. |
