Fortunately, not only did it uninstall cleanly, but the company that now handles their billing (Cleverbridge,Inc) refunded my money with a minimum of bother, not only for this piece of cra# but an equally unusable program, Adaware Pro. Adaware Free version was a nice tight program that I used for many years. Sadly, the Pro version is overbloated and scan times were commonly running 18 plus hours. I had to delete it just to run more useful programs such as PCSafe

I have been suckered into downloading, installing, and running programs like this before. Fortunately for me, as soon I figured out registering or licensing the software to fix errors meant “here is what is wrong, now pay for us to perform our fix” (by all means, every body should paid fairly for good services), I instead opted to Google for reputable free system tweakers and never experienced anything like the horror stories posted above.

For example, a very good, 100% free FOREVER, realtime scan and protection antivirus: AVAST
Free download, free installation, free scans, free fixes for two months. Then free annual registration for free annual license. I didn’t even Google for this one. A friend burned me a copy of it and they know less about computers than I do.
Would you like a FREE registry cleaner/defragmenter? RegSeeker by HoverDesk. The only problem I ever had with it was trying to start NTI’s CD Maker after registry cleaning. I told them about it and they fixed it in their next update. This was several years ago, In my honest opinion, NTI is crappy software anyway and unheard of today. Otherwise, I have never had a problem with RegSeeker on XP and Vista. I haven’t tested it on Windows 7 yet.
How about a FREE junk file remover: DustBuster
It has removed up to 2GB on XP and Vista for me and It has never removed any important files.
And last but not least, a good spyware/malware remover: SpyBot Search and Destroy
This program is not fully automatic like Windblows Pretender, I mean Windows Defender.
O, I just thought of a good firewall: ZoneAlarm
ZoneAlarm I haven’t used in a while. Since XP Service Pack 3, Windows Firewall does an OK job.

There are no “free” All-In-One system/internet security/maintainance programs that I know of, but you can search for a free program for every individual tweak out there. Or you can pay for an all-in-one that will save you the headaches of brewing your own coctail of programs plus full automation, ease-of-use, tech support, etc. such as Kaspersky Internet Security, System Mechanic, Advanced System Optimizer… I think these guys have limited featured free trials. I recommend steering clear of Norton/Symantec and McAfee.

Google is my best friend and has been my home page for several years because I find it an invaluable resource for researching EVERYTHING. I’d say about 90% of computer problems I’ve fixed was from information I obtained looking for it through Google.

Happy computing,

Thanks for those interesting comments above! I also ran into this program by clicking on some link. I had a feeling this could be something bad, but however I installed the free scan utility and the program found over 300 errors. To fix these errors you needed to “register”. I clicked on the register-link and then they told me I had to write down my personal data and credit card number. They also tried to make be beleive the price was on a bargain today by setting a high faked price first and then the discount (which is the real price). If you read the small text at the bottom of the page you will also see that the include a “service” that automatically charges your credit card with an un-known fee on a yearly subscription basis. They also tell you that this could be cancelled, but only if you open the register-mail to your mail account and click on a certain link there…..suspicios!

I am surprised this article above decided to have these comments not hidden….

I would not buy this program!!!!!

HOW DO WE UNINSTALL IT ? This piece of shit software won’t let me uninstall it. There is no uninstall feature. Windows Add/Remove program doesn’t show it for me to uninstall it. I even tried to uninstall it with Revo Uninstaller but couldn’t do it either. It is hiding and preventing users from uninstalling it.

What started as clearly an ad for Uniblue is clearly getting trashed by users/buyers. My own experience has always been that any program that offers free DL, Then requires you to buy to repair what it “Finds” is a scam. I got sucked into this malware by being overmedicated and paid dearly. The Stats shown above show little or no speed improvement, and worst of all, my AV programs constantly blocked this program’s attempt to communicate with known or suspected malicious sites.
Rules
1. Never buy a program without researching it.
2. Never buy a program that offers Free DL then purchase to fix what it allegedly finds.
3. Read #1 Again

Since the company is listed as a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, have you or anyone else tried to contact Microsoft? MS is very particular about their GCP and may be able to help you out with refunds, or at the least, get Uniblue’s support to contact you.

I’ve notified MS in the past of problems with one of their Certified Partners. They were able to the issue rectified very quickly.
