Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
I tried to load this onto a laptop with XP on it. All that came up was a message saying 'unable to open epson scan'. What's all that about?!!! Tried again, same result. So I uninstalled epson scan, same result. So I gave up on that machine. I then went onto my pc with vista and did eventually manage to load it. After clicking 'load utilities' it takes about 30 seconds before it gets going. In fact you think it isn't working. With Vista of course it then goes into recovery mode, which takes another 2/3 minutes. It then says you need to download the update which it estimates will take one second, it took 10 minutes. Once you have done the restart to finish off the installation nothing happens. It doesn't even put a short cut on your desk top. Not a good start. Anyway I have run loads of things on it, inevitably took hours to do most things. I haven't noticed any difference in the performance of my computer so I can't give it any more than one star, and that's only for the nice packaging.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
This is a curious mishmash of various utilities designed to optimise the PC's performance. Some modules use an XP/Vista style interface while others use a traditional Windows style interface, which makes me suspect that it's been cobbled together from a number of sources.
Warnings bells rang for me at the installation stage when informed that "long pauses are normal". Once installed, with the countdown having stayed stuck at 28 seconds for several minutes before bouncing back to two minutes, you're automatically invited to download the latest version. All well and good, but installing the latest version resulted in a problem with IE8: the menu bars changed from black on grey to black on black. Still usable, but it takes a good memory. Allowing another program to come to the fore, the IE8 menu items are then visible in dark grey on black. Removing Fix-it repaired IE8. To be sure that it was Fix-it causing the problem I installed and re-installed the program three times in all with the same results. If it's got six legs, transparent wings and spiracles along its body, we might as well call it a bug. And this one is several feet long! The virus checker is thorough, but incredibly slow. I've tried other virus checkers whose "check everything" option can do my PC in two or three hours, rather than the five and a half hours Fix-it took. Similarly I allowed the option to recover disk space to run for an hour before I ran out of patience: I can do the job manually in a fraction of the time, so what's the point? The defragmenter and diskfixer look cheap and nasty and I have found faster alternatives on magazine cover disks. The installation routine doesn't put an uninstall shortcut on the start menu: you have to go to Windows control panel to uninstall. The packaging... The "look big on the shop shelf" cardboard packaging weighs twice what the booklet (a fuller version of which appears on the CD) and the CD itself weigh. It could have been shipped in a normal CD or DVD case which would probably have a longer life than the software. Apart from the problem with IE8, two major arguments against bothering with this software are its age (the packaging quotes a review from 2006), so there's no guarantee at all that it will work with Windows 7, and most surprisingly for software designed to protect a PC, there's no firewall. Avoid.

A good product but not as easy to use as some that I have had in the past - sometimes it leaves you to decide whether or not to delete a potentially important file which is not always easy to appraise
