Absolutely unbelievable. This has gone too far! The employees of this terrible site are being paid to go around wot and call everyone who gives this site a bad rating stupid! This is a SCAM! There is no such thing as a software that can magically make a PC fast. The only thing that makes your PC fast is not getting viruses or putting better hardware in.

Thank you for an honest and thorough review. You are the kind of reviewer that makes WOT trustworthy.
Rogue PC clean up software frequenly spammed by 'developers from Microsoft' on forums and Yahoo! answers.

This is junk "pc cleanup" It's obvious, and I can't imagine even the most gullible not realizing. The big problem I have is they have been spamming this all over in the questions segments of people on PC tec websites looking for legitimate answers. And they have been calling out people with real answers as stupid, and flagging their responses which is borderline illegal, and 100% immoral.

Very good. Removes errors and fixes them.

The site owner or representative cannot spell or use proper grammar. This should let you know something is off. This is another worthless PC booster type of scamware. It does nothing useful, potentially has malware, and makes you pay to fix false positives after claiming to be free. This particular type is bad because a technician asks to remotely connect to your computer, gaining the ability to pry and steal data. Avoid at all costs, and use CCleaner if you want an EFFECTIVE registry booster/cleaner with no scams or faulty tactics.

Scam, virus filled software, highly unrecommended. If you need an optimization suite, get iobit software instead!

Sadly, while this company might have a helpful product, their approach is suspect; actually downright unethical. I was led to believe it was a free product but once I downloaded it, they held me ransom for $29.99 to complete the download. Then a tech wanted remote access to my computer to activate the license key. Can you imagine such nonsense? In addition to their overpriced cleaner, they pulled a drive-by download on me and I had a popup asking for attention and money. If the owners care about their reputation, they should retrain their sales staff and announce that they charge for their services asap. Encouraging the public to download a "free" program, and then pulling a bait and switch after you do, is nothing short of a SCAM! I have asked for my money back and will uninstall the PC cleaner from my computer. Phew!

I have an older computer running XP SP2. I ran the software and it really did find a ton of errors and corrected them. I am happy with the software.

This site is a poor scam. I ran their registry cleaner and all this guy wanted to do is sell me more expensive services. The next day I went to another registry cleaner company, and their "free scan" showed that I had over 1100 registry problems. Problems which supposedly were fixed by PC Health Boost. Again this is a pure scam. Don't buy it!

I am a computer repair technician. I see a lot of malware- and spyware-infected computers in my shop. We consistently are removing all of the programs that slow a computer down, such as toolbars and ad-generating junk. One of our customers was bullied into purchasing this product, by a technician who they were on the phone with. The phone tech had access to their computer via a LogMeInRescue install that she was asked to perform. All this company wants is your money with no regard as to the legitimacy of what they're selling. And sadly enough, they do a LOT of marketing and false advertising and tout a "Microsoft Trusted Partner" logo. When one searches the internet about "PC Health Boost" you'll see mixed results on some websites, where really cut + paste, dry positive reviews are written with near flawless grammar seem to be overflowing with many "likes" and "agrees". If you look closely however, all these reviewers with generic usernames all like each other's and all dislike anything neutral or negative. Additionally, on some websites like Microsoft's Support network, some of the "ghost" commentators only have a couple of posts. Strangely, all about PCHealthBoost only... *****

Scam that is all it is to this site.

To all the people who say this is useless I disagree. Just because you can do it yourself does not mean paying for it makes it useless. I can wash my own dishes but I still buy a dishwasher. I can change my own oil but I still pay someone to change it. This is no different. I can fix my own errors but I still prefer to pay to have it done for me. It is quicker and easier.

Site looks professional. No malware, all necessary privacy policies included. MY opinion is very good

NOT MALICIOUS WEBSITE/COMPANY. They're a verified Microsoft partner, McAfee and Norton secure, and accredited by the BBB. The products themselves are not malicious either, though their effects on systems aren't as beneficial as advertized in my experience. To all WOT users, please do your research before labeling a website as malicious.

I downloaded their software and had no issues... Good site and I would recommend.
