CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET staff on May 27, 2009
PC Doc Pro promises to keep your system free and clear of junk files and folders. While it quickly scanned and found files to be removed, the program's trial restrictions made it hard to know what happened after that.
The user interface is very straightforward and easy to understand. Commands run along the left side of the window, and you can watch the program do its work on the right. We started by performing a registry scan. In about 10 minutes, the program had pulled a considerable number of files that needed to be removed. But once we clicked the Fix button, we were quickly reminded of the program's 100-file trial limit. The program seemed to fix the problem files, but we had no way of finding out which 100 of the 800 or so files were fixed. And we couldn't tell a difference in our computer's performance. PC Doc Pro includes features for backing up files, managing start-up files, and scheduling scans. Manually removing junk files, on the other hand, was unavailable in the unregistered version.
A built-in Help feature isn't included with the program, but it does provide a link that takes you to a guide on the publisher's Web site. While PC Doc Pro impressed us with its scanning capabilities, we couldn't see the results of the more important function of removing unneeded files. There are numerous such products on the market, and we suggest you try out others before paying for this program.

Version: PC Doc Pro 4.3
Pros: NONE! The only pros is for the seller. They got the money.
Cons: Keeps producing errors, even on a new PC. I lost money on this one. I only purchased it after getting good reviews on Cnet and Komando. This software is crap. Live and Learn.
Summary: This crappy software produces registry errors each time you run it and the previous run said your system is cleaned.

"This is crap software that damages your PC"
Pros: It gives the placebo effect of having fixed your PC
Cons: - Actually free software such as CCleaner do a better job
- Gives fake errors to make you purchase the product
- Hard to uninstall: it's borderline malwareSummary: Dear CNET,
Why is this product even on your download site? Please don't sell out your users to crapware companies. It's products like this that make consumers like us distrust you. -

"I bought this and got my money back. It is a scam."
Pros: (The owner is sensitive to his scam's reputation being smeared in public places so it is easy to get your money back by bad rapping his pdoduct in public!) This is a dangerous program and writes itself into your registry to create problems.
Cons: Check most of the links on Pc-Doc-Pro's website and you will find that they are mostly gifs rather than links. Many of the real links go back to their own webpages. Even the one that was a Microsoft Icon went to Pc-Doc-Pro. Do Not Trust.
Summary: I ran a scan (scam) and some of the results that I got from this program refferred to broken files that usually accompany Windows XP such as Messenger plugins. I know that I had, as I always do when I buy a new computer, deleted Messenger, every f... read more >>
