"PURE GARBAGE AND A SCAM`"
Version: PC Matic 1.1.0.33
Pros
None, unless you like to throw money in the street and screw up your PC
Cons
Too many to list
Summary
People, USE COMMON SENSE! This is a SCAM, pure and simple, just like Mycleanpc.com. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PROGRAM THAT IS GOING TO CLEAN AND FIX YOUR PC. Just like there is no such thing as an elixir you pour into your gas tank that going to give you 100 mph. Why people fall for these scams is beyond me. Here's a clue: JUST BECAUSE YOU SEE A COMMERCIAL FOR IT, DOESN'T MEAN IT'S TRUE. And, in most cases, the opposite. These things get you to pay for crap that runs false scans and always comes up with "errors" or "problems" that you have to pay to remove. The computer equivalent of a charlatan who shows up at your door, throws dirt on your rug, and tell you you need a vacuum cleaner. They pray on your stupidity

"Glad I checked CNET first"
Version: PC Matic 1.1.0.33
Pros
Never bought it and now I never will
Cons
After reading through a majority of the reviews I WILL NOT be installing this on my computer at all. All the "super positive" reviews are just as "super cheesy" as their commercials. You have to wade through all these to get to the meat of the issue. Computer techs telling you this is scareware and creates real problems on your computer...No way. I will take the other recommendations with trusted programs where the positive comments are not so canned, badly scripted and obviously so see through.
Summary
Thank you CNET for the feedback forum, I think you just saved my computer.

"Awesome product"
Version: PC Matic 1.1.0.33
Pros
A one stop product for your computer cleanup.
Cons
A bit pricey at $49 but it is a 5 computer license.

"scam...don't be a fool"
Version: PC Matic 1.1.0.33
Pros
zero, zilch
Cons
it's a scam
Summary
I don't understand how this software company hasn't been prosecuted yet. Essentially, this product mucks up your computer with a bunch of registry errors and spyware, then claims it found these errors in a scan. To rid these errors, you must pay them. You can have a brand new out of the box pc with a clean install of windows, and it will "find" hundreds of errors. if you want to clean up your hard drive and registry, download ccleaner. It's free, it's honest, and it does an incredible job.

"Complete scam, DO NOT GET"
Version: PC Matic 1.1.0.33
Pros
There are no pros
Cons
Everything. This program is scareware that tells you you have viruses when you don't, to make you pay $50 you didn't need to pay. Plenty of programs are free. Everyone reviewing this software giving it 5 stars is probably an employee of the company that makes pcmatic. Do not get
Summary
Complete scam.
