.Kompressor Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 (edited) Seen this on TV today....and the site looks legit....with all the reviews by well known tech sites. I was wondering what makes this site so special as opposed to using say...Kaspersky online scanner? I don't need to clean my pc of anything, but just wondering if it's a real or just a gimmick. www.mycleanpc.com Edited October 30, 2009 by Colin-uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooky560 Veteran Posted October 30, 2009 Veteran Share Posted October 30, 2009 just the url title makes me want to block that site :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash_09 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Just checked the site and Web Of Trust threw it up as having a poor reputation straight away , screenshot here : http://i35.tinypic.com/33vyyz7.jpg and the comments on the Web Of Trust Site pretty much speak for themselves : http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/mycleanpc.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooky560 Veteran Posted October 30, 2009 Veteran Share Posted October 30, 2009 Well the wording on the front page is bad enough. A slow PC can be caused by almost anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Kompressor Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 i had a feeling they were a gimmick.... but how can scams like these be advertised on public TV without the FCC saying something...you would've thought they do a background check to see these companies are not just taking consumers for a ride...like those "make money are home tv scams" And I doubt USA today, Cnet & Computer World is aware of their review/recommendation info on the site...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raa Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Any newspaper or magazine can pump a product without really knowing what it will do. I get it from my mates so much "XYZ Magazine said it was so good!!!" *looking at their pc infected with spyware* :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGeorge Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I advise to stay far away from that site and its services.... PS: You may also add finallyfast.com to that advisement too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Kompressor Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 (edited) Reminds me of this one also seen on TV....lol .....just doesn't look right one bit... www.myfasterpc.com they are pretty much as bad as the fake antivirus software out there...like Antivirus 2008/2009 or antivirus xp.

Izlude Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 it's full of adware. this thing appears on facebook's survey's. download and install it for free yoville/farmville cash. i installed it of course just for 240 cash points. uninstalling it was a pain in the bleep. ya don't use that garbage. i already e-mailed the FCC about it. doubt they care though.

spywarepreventionguy Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I'm sure by all the replies that you already found out that both CleanMyPC.com and DoubleMySpeed.com that are both owned by and promote CyberDefender products are worthless.

alonstar Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 MyCleanPC is safe but that software just does the same thing that CCleaner would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooky560 Veteran Posted April 29, 2011 Veteran Share Posted April 29, 2011 That website looks like a scam in itself yapcash, can we make some rule so members have to have so many posts (like 100) before being able to post links? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neufuse Veteran Posted April 29, 2011 Veteran Share Posted April 29, 2011 I'm so sick of that darn commercial on tv "your computer may bet a virus, which can cause permanent damage" ugh people believe this BS too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
