Needless to say I will not recommend this app to anybody. The app did not display them but displayed scare messages to buy the app so that the (non-existent) problems could be fixed. When I clicked on the highlight link for the errors, When I installed and ran Reimage, its log reported 9 Windows problems and 25 DLL problems. I KNOW that the test Laptop is free from bugs, viruses and Windows software problems before each test installation.
Reimage plus scam how to#
Then I install it on their hardware and show them how to use itįor testing, I use a separate test Laptop and, after every test, I uninstall the app and clean the remnants left behind, including Registry hooks. I download and test free software such as Malwarebytes and Comodo Internet Security Premium together with useful apps such as CCleaner, Defraggler and Kingsoft Office.
Reimage plus scam drivers#
I clean their PCs, removing all unnecessary software, leaving the operating system and drivers alone. Many of them are pensioners who can not afford to pay subscriptions of $300 or $400 a year for malware/antivirus and word processing software, etc.
Reimage plus scam full#
Invariably, when they buy a Laptop or a Notebook, it is loaded with McAfee, Office and a lot of other "free" software (read 60 day trial) which nag them to buy the full package. On a voluntary basis, I help and advise people in my area (West Kirby, Wirral, England) who are new to computing. What I was objecting to was the possible/probable negative effect reimage would have on your products. PLEASE do not think that I am picking on you and your Tweaking software. But I do not put download links in the banner section which is where that ad is at. I have my download links at the top of the content of the page, not the bottom of the page like other sites do to get you to scroll the whole page. I also list what site each download link goes to (The mirrors and such) and which one is a direct download from my site. I have had the reimage ad on the site since the start of and never had any bad feedback from it, but again, who knows if they changed how they do things.īut one thing you will notice is I make sure that my download buttons match the color and design of my site. Granted that doesn't pay your bills overnight, but it does build a great reputation. Take care of the user and they do it in return. A lot of companies tend to let money make their decisions, I guess I am one of the few who don't. I have had people use it and like it, I havent tried their current version so I don't know if they changed things around. I have heard both bad and good things about reimage. I am going to see about having the ad changed to at least show their company name on it.ģ. The ad use to have the name reimage on it, I don't like that it doesn't now, it doesn't show anything about it NOT being part of You would be surprised how many people dont scroll the page and think the top ad is the actual download link. It is an advertisement only, just like the google ads.Ģ.
