@Rob

Your comment about testing on another computer brings up this point.

Not to dilute my findings, but to get a precise picture, we would have to have an unaffiliated third party do the tests. That’s because a true test machine would only have Auslogics, CCleaner, and RegCure software on it, AND NOTHING ELSE, plus we would want to remove all suspicion of bias (“Fox guarding the Chickens”).

Nevertheless, these crude tests that I’ve performed DO show a wide disparity between detections and that is accurate within “give or take”.

I thought I’d better point this out before Paretologic attacked my findings as inaccurate. They are crude, but still accurate, especially considering the substantial difference between the RegCure detections (364) and ZERO.

Andrew,

It’s a quick in and out scam to make a fast dollar. It stinks, but this is the reality.

Rob,

Thanks for the comment. I think it’s time for not only the FCC to get involved, but also Google and Yahoo. There are many ads being served that are rogue software.

Interesting results and findings of this software. It would be even more interesting to see the results, seeing if you get the same 364 errors, testing this software on another computer using the same software as above.

Makes you wonder when the FTC or the FCC for that matter will jump in and put a stop to this phishing software programs. They are flat out deceiving the average computer user. I guess there’s only 3 reasons the Federal Government is not jumping in to stop this…1) there’s no money in it, 2) they don’t know how to stop it or 3) all the above.

It is really bad when all the sellers thinking about is to make sales or profit. Why don’t sellers just think about making a product that really satisfies the needs of consumers. Once this is done, then surely sales would definitely pour in. They don’t need to make desperate moves such as this one discussed in your article.
