PC Health "bad"?

Insane_Drifter

I have tried a program MyPCTUNEUP which so called checks the health of your pc and have had the result that mine is bad. A tottal of 1008!
Is there a free program that will sort out these issues??

Thanks

Hi
Many of those programs are snake oil.

Mypctuneup definitely looks to be a bad one, linked with other malware such as Aurora and Ceres.

Do not under any circumstances use the uninstaller that Mysecuritycenter.com offer - there are many reports of that just installing yet more malware on your PC.

Ok thankyou

Also, take a careful look at the Terms and Conditions that you (presumably) signed up to in order to get it. Specifically section 10.

If you don't take action to "unsubscribe", these scammers will start taking a "full subscription" fee from you every month after 4 months, and you only have a 2 month "window" to get out of that.

Mysecuritycenter certainly doesn't appear to be a company that many people would want to do business with.

TBH I'd be more surprised if the program told me that I had no errors.

there is no program on this planet (that doesnt already come with windows) that i would install/trust to tell me if my pc needs fixing.

It's a scam to get you to buy their software. Uninstall it and run Mbam..
Careful maintenance of your PC will negate the need for this type of software.
