    "Total waste of time."

    December 9, 2010  |   By c1a436

    Pros

    Nothing at all.

    Cons

    They wait until after you have done a scan before they ask you to register for a free trial key. The key they send you in the email doesn't work. So you can't actually remove any of the spyware you found in the scan.

    Summary

    The free trial doesn't work, at least not with Windows XP.

    Then of course I got tons of emails from them "reminding" me that my trial was going to expire. I can hardly wait to see what other junk email I receive because I registered with them. At least I used a third-party email address.

    I had no problems getting the free trial key before I bought it. You must have done something wrong.

    Where did you download it from if I might ask. I registered it when I first downloaded it. It was under the menu tabs. I recieved it from GFI via their web page. It was easy.
