I thought it was good, but I didn't know it was a scam.

Pros
Seemed to help my RAM. I currently have only 2GIGS that my PC came with, so I am trying to help speed up my PC a little before I am able to get some more RAM(hopefully soon). My MBAM just told me there was a Trojan on(?) it, so uninstalled it.
Cons
It didn't seem to have any, but then again I didn't know it was a scam. Been using it since Aug. '10, and didn't have any problems with it that I know of. But again, thanks for telling me it's a scam. Won't be using it anymore!
Summary
Definitely don't want any Trojans or viruses on my PC. I run scans every day, and try to keep my PC as clean as possible. But, I do recommend to any CNET users out there, if you don't have it already, go get Malware Bytes Anti-Malware PRO. It is definitely worth the investment. I believe it has paid for itself several times over(including this Trojan it found), since I got it last July(just before I got this PC). It is a great product, and I don't think you would be disappointed! P.S. Was going to reinstall it, but I guess not now! Thanks for letting me know it's a scam! God Bless you! Updated on Apr 13, 2011Hi there! Just a little correction to the P.S. of my summary. Meant to say I was going to reinstall extra ram 1.7. I DEFINITELY would not uninstall and not reinstall MBAM. Excuse me if I was getting off the subject there in my summary, but I would recommend MBAM to any PC user. It is great, and believe you me(although I'm just someone behind some words here, and you don't know me from Adam OR Eve), I would recommend MBAM to any PC user, especially a new one. I'm still low-tech, as I call myself, since I've had my own PC for only about a year & a half. Computer classes came after my time in elementary, intermediate, & high school, so I don't have the knowledge some of these kids do. But, I do enjoy my PC, and am thankful for a lot of these good programs that help me that are out there, especially the ones I can get for free. Thanks for letting me say my piece, and much mahalos, and God Bless you all!
This program does not monitor nor optimize your RAM!

There are no positive aspects of this program.

This program is just advertisement for an "advanced systems care". It displays fake values for your RAM
Summary
This program is a scam!
