Has anyone used Yippeetech?

Hi, Yippeetech have contacted me to improve my pc performance. They want access to my pc every month to clean it. Is this safe or a con!? Any help much appreciated. Thx.

    second Google result says "Yippee Tech is a Scam. I nearly purchased fake protection from this company before realizing it was a scam."  Don't think we need to say anymore.

    C'mon chaps, any firm with a name like "Yippee Tech" has to be a bit suspect and even more so if they contact you  ;)
