With 10 million images in their repository they have access to everything on your hardrive. NicholasBlack claims that (about 100,000 PCs already fixed and 10 million images in our repository). Which may not be the truth or the whole truth. Nor would he be aware of what exactly the software does, as he has to rely on what he is told. Therefore he is not qualified to make statements concerning how their software works. He is not involved with the actual coding at all. NicholasBlack is a marketing rep, not a software engineer.

A hidden application could certainly still be present after removing their visible applications. Removing applications that are listed does not ensure that all software has been removed. What exactly the installed software does, is not clearly defined. Reviewing their website and reading responces from NicholasBlack. In sales fear is the best motivator to get people to sign on the dotted line. Their primary objective will still be to drive sales by the use of fear. Even if Reimage shuffles the wording of their results. It is obvious that fear is what Reimage is primarily using to drive sales. The results only refer to problems that would cause fear. The results posted by Broni clearly does not allude to missing or corrupted files. It is certainly plausible that a clean install can have corrupted files or missing files. 'Our software is designed to fix dysfunctional PCs, not new ones (that's why our tagline is 'PC Repair, In Minutes', rather than boosting it)' In both cases they were alerted of sever problems. It is a very dangerous world out there, and more so when using a MS OS.Īfter reading this thread I thought I would add my two cents!īoth Broni and PC_Programmer ran the service with a new install. You will be amazed at the amount of spyware that is blocked. I highly suggest using Untangle or some other server to filter and control your internet access. Check the wikipedia on Phishing if you are not familiar with it.įor those of you unfamiliar with what Untangle is. In other words their website was attempting to install software by just going to their website.

My untangle server lit up showing blocked events by the Phish Blocker. Upon my initial search of their websites and various links.

I did a google search and found their website, and this thread among other threads concerning Reimage. Yet I also have considerable experience with MS products. My primary experience is with building custom OS's utilizing the Linux kernel.
