I used it once, as I recall I had problems with my PC so uninstalled it and they stopped. Howard is the one who told me to get rid of it, but it was a couple of years ago.

It may well have improved since then, but in all honesty, I don't think the programme will do anything that you can't already do yourself.  |

If you want to know if it has any effect on the performance of your pc then you need to benchmark before and after and compare results.

Yes, but it also "removes spyware" does "privacy sweep" and "cleans" junk files and "prevents spyware" cleans the disk etc... But I wonder if it really does so, or just does it says it does so  |

Hmmm. personally I wouldn't put all my trust into just one product that claims to do all that without absolute proof.

If it was as good as it sounds on the box then the whole of our malware removal instructions (minus HJT) could be replaced by it, so I'd think it's not that effective

I have stopped using it however as the new version slows my pc down to a crawl
