News :: Warning on Today's Giveaway of New Utilities

After testing this application and reading the comments from BuBBy I’ve decided to not post a review on this title, and instead post a warning. This product is unreliable and not trustworthly. At this point in its development it is not stable enough to do anything to your system.

Post from GaotD:

When I went to download the application this morning, I caught the post up from BuBBy this morning and had to read it. This is quite unfortunate.

Even though BuBBy has warned us about it, I felt that I should at least see if I could get the same results.

Findings with the undo registry files:

While I did not have quite the same results as BuBBy, I still had issues. The application reported 166 errors during the registry fix; However, there was only 150 registry entries in the undo file. With that said: I installed the registry keys back after I confirmed the application couldn’t find any more errors on its own and re-ran the fix problems. This time, it only found 101 errors altogether. Comparing the registry undos, this time it did not delete any of the .NET framework registry entries. Why it did the first time is completely beyond me (A good thing I put the keys back in).

Crash Issues

While I did not crash in the same areas BuBBy did, I did crash a few times during my thrashing; Once during the ‘Memory Optimization’, and once just sitting there idle. Not a good sign

Other notes

No forced backups (Only this undo process) for this application is not a good sign. the fact that only the registry can be undone is just leaving yourself open to problems, especially with the cleaning tools. Same kind of issue here with the Undeleter as with Smart PC’s tools; Doesn’t find files you just deleted either.

My recommendation? STAY AWAY FROM THIS APPLICATION for your own safety.
