Works great, no problems, effective and easy to use
Slows the entire computer down
The program's easy interface was what first caught my eye; big buttons, easy navigation, as well as many options to choose as far as scanning goes. The design reminded me of a Mac in many ways with its colors and layout.
The problems I had with this program consisted of a massive taxing on my CPU; I have a dual core machine one running at 3.0 GHZ and the other at 2.99 and it takes my CPU usage up to 100% for the majority of the time it is scanning. You can still navigate the computer for minor tasks, but if you try to run anything else that might drain a little bit of CPU power such as music or even Internet Explorer you are going to have a problem.
The cleaning options for this program are amazing; it covers everything from a basic sweep of your computer to a full registry scan. Its removal tools are excellent and I have never had a problem with recurring problems. I have heard, and while I have never had this problem myself, that the registry scanner will every once and a while grab a linked registry and it will cause a Windows error.
Overall the program is easy to use, works perfectly 99% of the time, and while slows the computer to a crawl, ultimately gets the job done.
