This site is completely safe along with its downloads. It doesn't install any browser plugins. I personally use it, and it helped a little bit with performance, although it didn't make a large improvement with my PC's performance.

Boost program works great. Haven't had any problems. Be careful where you download programs from. Use the developers site if in doubt.

Why anyone thinks this is an unsafe website I don't know! Boost is by the Reason Company the same people who make ShouldI Remove It, herdProtect, Securely file remover and recently Reason Core Security which are all correctly rated as safe and this website is aswell.

Not a scam, doesn't install malware like other system boosting products out there.Also I uploaded this program to Virus Total and its free of malware and viruses! ***** This programs from same company that makes Herd Protect the best antimalware antivirus tool out there! ***** In fact this program also finds malware, but also a useful program that shows you startup items and programs slowing down your computers performance, and lets you easily prevent them from running or starting automatically, and a couple other system tweaks. Easy to undo any changes you don't like within program! I would recommend running in power user mode though, because I don't agree with some of the changes it will make in auto mode. Also analyzes system and program crashes. It did tell me a program crashed because I'm running multiple anti spyware programs when I only have my antivirus program running even though I have multiple anti spyware programs installed but not running including other products from this company like Herd protect ***** and Should I Remove It. ***** I think other WOT users should look at WOT's definition of a scam before calling this a scam! Scam-According to other users, this may be a fraudulent site attempting to obtain money or something else of value. This site does neither!

This is a safe website. The application is completely free and clean of viruses. It isn't trialware like MyCleanPC or PCTools. I think a lot of these people assumed that it was because they didn't try it. It's actually pretty good.

It is connected with and sponsors ***** and shouldiblockit.com. It seems legitimate at first, even helpful, until you begin downloading their "free software." It sponsors undeniably bad software, including Trojan programs and it marks decent materials as suspicious. It does not cite where it obtains its data from. It does not explain how it goes about repairing or optimizing your PC, it advises the removal of critical programs. it seems decent enough, and it is well organized, but the deeper you go, the more suspicious it becomes.

I used the Boost app for several months and was very impressed with it. It did not work well with one of my apps and when forced to uninstall it, uninstallation went just fine. I've received no spam from the company.

Ce site propose propose une extension pour google chrome. Lorsqu'on l'installe un peu trop vite on ne s'en rend pas compte mais on a un avertissement qui dit que l'extension accède a toutes les données de l'ordinateur et aux sites web visités. SURTOUT ne téléchargez jamais cela.

Just another software scam trying to make users think it can make their computer run like new again.

The evidence is there for you to see for yourself. I encourage you to test the site yourself, and help me prove this site safe.

I used this product on a customer's machine (who purchased product referred from a friend) & without incident. Prior to installation I routinely scan a program with several "anti-*" tools/utilities. I read the User Guide. I "preview" the onboard instructions & "help" after installation & prior to "running". I do agree 110% with "Firstborne ***** Good site" critique of unsupported (& shallow) downgrades of any website, service,or product. Truth is supported by facts. Good science is repeatable. Good Troubleshooting is teachable. Drive-by unsupported "negatives" (in my book) are likely cheap-shots from lazy shallow-thinkers or lying "shills" working for a cheating competitor! Do I come-on-too-strong for you? Do think about this issue & act appropriately. When you "share" your unsupported opinion anonymously, why would any wish to rely upon you? What "bona-fides" have you? Provide verifiable facts, duplicatable evidence, links to respected "authorities". 'Tis called "proof". Good point, "Firstborne". Incidentally, Thank You for "being there"...

this website says it can make your computer run like new again. Yeah.Nope.

I am guessing that the site has been hacked on occasion. Authors are often busy and not aware when their site is hacked. Use caution with any download.

FUCK! THIS IS TROJAN! UNINSTALLED IT! AND I WILL SPREAD THE NEWS SO NOBODY WOULD BE YOUR AVG PLUGIN VICTIMS!

Ne pas utiliser ce programme. Don't install this software (pockerstartupdate). Très suspicieux, puisqu'il peut être utilisé par un ver informatique. (Rootkit:W32/Small.LA) suspicious, the process can be used by worm. (pockerstartupdate) lire la page: Read topic: *****

No idea why this site is considered as dangerous. I did not have any issues. I feel that the site is legitimate.
