Anyone tried the PC health check that Virgin are are offering their customers if so is it worth taking advantage of and of what does it comprise.

    Looks very pricey to me , £6.00 a month and then possibly £30.00 - £60.00 for " one off fixes " ...

    I would give it a miss if i was offered it ...

    You would be wasting your money on a product such as this. I'm surprised a reputable company is selling such a product to it's customers.

    The health check software is free. The cost comes if you contact their helpline to fix problems discovered by the software.

    That said, I installed it to see what it was like, and removed it within a week partly because of the nag messages that kept popping up.
    How do I add a signature?
