I just want you to know, i fix pc's for a living, Advanced system care, Speed up my pc, PC Speed Optimizer, along with ALMOST EVERY program that 'claims' to fix your pc for free is usually trap/scam/crap ware. They install themselves then tell you they will "Scan you pc for common problems" then they usually want $40 to register and remove the problems that they have "found" (usually most of the problems are created by the program itself so that you notice them and will pay). If you pay the initial investment then it attempts to fix the problems that have been "found" in the previous phase, gets about half way through and says that there is a severe problem that cannot be removed by the program and you need to call a phone number for support. If you call they ask to remote into your pc to attempt repairs, usually the "repairs" do "succeed" after about 2 hours of talking and "fixing" your pc, then the person on the other end of the phone tells you that the repair will cost you (in most cases) $200, and most people tell them "yeah right, im not paying, this was an implied free service when i paid for the other program and tried to repair my pc" they will usually proceed to argue with you until you flip out, then they calmly tell you to have a nice day, encrypt EVERYTHING that's not a Core System File needed to start windows (they want you to be able to look at all of your stuff that you can no longer open or use, and most of the time it's everything, pictures, music, personal docs, programs, you name it). The worst part is the command they use is persistent, even if you turn off your pc mid encrypt with a hard power cycle (holding power until it shuts off) as soon as windows loads it continues, most of the time silently and in the background. I'm just posting this as a warning to everyone, I have been fixing pc's for over 3 years now in a mom and pop store 5-6 days a week 8 hr a day and i have seen this HUNDREDS of times.
