Uniblue SpeedUpMyPC

[email protected]

I seriously believe that this software contains a virus of some sort. Either that or it is destroying my registry. Either way, the software does not improve your PC performance AT ALL. I strongly encourage all to not buy this software. There wasn't much to like about it. It was just very poorly developed software.

A useless resource hog, fortunately I'm cynical enough to always try a pirated reg key first before parting with good cash for a rip off like this. The pirated keys normally become invalid after a month or so but that's OK, it took me a few hours to ascertain that Uniblue is cr@p, just check the windows taskmanager after it's done it's "magic". Sad that so many useless products like this make money for their snake oil salesmen for so long.

I came here because I ran a download speed test on several sites, all showing 24.5 MB/s. I ran the uniblue test at http://testinternetspeed.org three times and it always reported ONE MB/s. That's 4% of the actual speed. It also had an offer to try a free trial of their amazing speed-up software and run the test again.

I figured that if I did, obviously the new test would then show my full 25 MB/s speed. Rather than download malware that does god knows what, I came here to check the place out.

Sure enough, a ripoff fake fraud that damages your computer.

My guess is that if I DIDN'T buy it, it would change my setting gs so my PC really was slow, and I'd get messages telling me to buy their junk to speed it up.

This is the kind of thing that happens in a so-called "free market": evil people steal from you and hurt you.

If the government gave as much of a damn about protecting real people as it does about helping the rich people, they'd grab the guy who's doing this ("Bosse Malmberg"), take all his money away, and put him in prison.

But they don't.

Good points: did not make computer unusable

Bad points: had to register to fix more errors

Well, I downloaded the Uniblue family one day, and this was a probably good solution. It removed various errors successfully, and it was the free version. However, I would not suggest this to family or friends because important files may be deleted, based on previous reviews.

I purchased this program under the premise stated that it will speed up my computer. I got my first ever blue screen ever since installing this junk and now I am locked out of some of my programs I use every day. DON'T BUY IT. It will waste your time and money. The programmers need to go back to school if they are serious about writing real programs. Shame on you Uniblue.

Had this for two months and seemed to be working OK apart from PC suddenly switching off in the middle of working on things. Yesterday morning it would not allow me in as a user whatever I did. Luckily I had also set my wife up as a user so was able to get in to the system . Did not feel competent at sorting the problem out so took it to the local computer shop.They sorted out the problem, but it cost me another £30 for the privilege. Also I have lost a lot of the information going back to October when I installed the software. Just rebuilt my contacts list in Windows Live mail which was pretty much decimated. If I had spent any more money would consider suing, when a software package has the name Microsoft attached to it you tend to trust it.

I bought this to make my pc faster. After loading and using it my computer froze. I tried to access their so-called support. What a joke. Sent four e-mails--keep getting the same auto response they would get back--five days now--still waiting. I requested the guaranteed refund--no response.

I tried the chat support--another joke.

I am now deceived for my purchase.

Hope this helps some else.

Got hooked on broadband speed testing and this program was attached to one. Was going to bin it when fell for soft sell; "Get this program free with one our associate sellers, just pick the product you want."

I went for renting "Tesco movies", got my free download code, hey presto, computer would not run properly.

Spent two nights trying to uninstall, and control panel telling me that It cannot uninstall all parts of the program but it can if done done manually!

Great program for computer nerds who like nothing better than sitting at their keyboard all day trying to make their computer perform as well as it did before installing this program.

SHOCKING!

RUN THE OTHER WAY!

This software will virtually destroy your pc. After installation and purchase of the software I spent over 2 weeks trying to repair the damage caused which included complete destruction of my LAN settings, desktop settings, multiple dll errors, crashes, blue screens, loss of boot information, etc. I am now trying to recover my payment and due to the damage this software caused I am forced to use a different computer just to contact the manufacturer. So, if your thinking of trying anything from Uniblue get ready to buy a new PC or pay someone to repair the damage.
