Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This program provides a few helpful PC-maintenance tools, though we call attention to the rather rigorous demo limitation. PC Rescue has an attractive, well-designed interface that makes navigation simple. The program's main job is to scan your computer's Registry for errors in a number of categories such as faulty ActiveX controls or invalid application paths. Alas, the trial version will only repair file extension and start-up errors. It is nice the program automatically backs up the Registry prior to each scan, and the inclusion of a tool for managing start-up programs is a helpful, if not groundbreaking feature. PC Rescue also includes a utility that optimizes Internet connections, but in our tests, it didn't seem to make a discernable difference. All in all, PC Rescue shows promise, but in an extremely crowded field of Registry-optimization tools, it needs a less-restrictive trial limitation to woo users.Publisher's description

It then shows you what problems were found, and you can choose to correct them with the simple click of a button. Using PC Rescue will increase system speed and stability.

Version: PC Rescue 3
"The free version is basically useless........"
Pros: I only used the free version but it did remove a couple of registry problems at first ( although it didn't seem like it affected my pc at all).
Cons: I found it very suspicious! At first it found about 500 problems and fixed 2 ( i guess to make people think it really works) then over the next couple of weeks it found more and more ploblems but fixed NONE OF THEM!

Version: PC Rescue 3
"This is an unreliable product and may disable programs."
Pros: It seems to have corrected some Windows XP problems.
Cons: I purchased PC RESCUE from HEALTHY COMPUTER CLUB. COM. They imply that their software PC RESCUE
will correct all Windows XP problems . PC RESCUE seemed to correct some errors on my computer but it created other problems such as it removes any shortcuts to Internet Explorer whether placed on the desktop or on the Start Bar and when clicking on HELP I get an error. It also disabled some programs. I will now have to reinstall Windows XP and the many programs I have. I have successfully used Norton's Window Repair program in the past years without any problems. I guess I will return to it.
I have contacted HEALTHY COMPUTER CLUB. COM via several emails, but they have not corrected these problems and they refuse to refund my money even though they say on their web page that they will do so if PC RESCUE does not perform correctly. Furthermore, there is no telephone number where you can reach them.
PC RESCUE is unreliable and destroys programs on my computer. Beware of PC RESCUE!

"It's not worth the money. The "satisfaction guarantee" is a load of bull*^@%!!"
Cons: We downloaded this program to get our computer working properly. We ended up in worse shape (total crash). They wouldn't refund our money. So much for "100% Satisfaction Guaranteed".
