One of the local AM stations runs advertising from them, from a woman who talks faster than the speed of sound. Annoyed, I checked it out. Just what I thought: JUNK.
It'll flag all sorts of things, scare you with it's warnings, then want $30 or $40 to make them "magically" disappear.
I called the radio station and left a msg with the sales manager, then talked to his assistant, who actually answered the phone.
Evidently, no one bothered to check out things like this before going on the air. They just wanted the $$$$.
Here's one particularly interesting article on these frauds: http://www.howtogeek.com/162683/pc-cleaning-apps-are-a-scam-heres-why-and-how-to-speed-up-your-pc/
To those of you who don't understand confusers: Don't ever fall for these "cleaners" that are advertised. It's a scam, seeking suckers. Don't be a sucker.
With Wxp, Vista, 7, 8 & 10, you don't need to buy anything. Press the windows key, type disk cleanup in the search bar, select it above and touch ENTER. It'll search your HD for junk/temp/unnecessary files, then show you what it found, where they are, allow you to view them, all before you click OK.
Go ahead...click OK.
I just recovered 2.5GB of space on my new W7 confuser I've been tweaking.
Merry Christmas!!
