"PC Wizard 2012 does work in Windows 8 Pro 64-bit"
Version: PC Wizard 2012 2.11
Pros
Give you the option of selecting what you scan your computer for.
Cons
When the scan get's 87% complete it will crash and cause a runtime! error. Windows 8 Pro will try to find a solution and fix it. Then it restarts the scan all over again and still crash at 87% over and over and so forth. I end up having to use the task manager to close out the program.
Summary
PC Wizard 2012 crashes in Windows 8 Pro 64-bit.

"Works great but now installs a bunch of adware."
Version: PC Wizard 2012 2.11
Pros
Installed on a different computer two years ago with no problems. It probably saved the machine because it made me realize how hot it was running. Appears to work just as well as it did then.
Cons
Installed a bunch of crap on my computer and tried to install even more. It tried to sneakily install a bunch of things, of which I said no to, but then discovered there were even more. I had no issues two years ago and I usually trust cnet, but I guess I can't anymore.

"Utlilty is alright; installs Adware"
Version: PC Wizard 2012 2.11
Pros
The utility works alright, and does what it says it does
Cons
It installs Adware/Malware. You will notice very quickly after the install that you will have a popup by your system tray alerting you to apparent viruses you have. Don't even bother with this program.
Summary
I no longer trust CPUID after this crap. Ridiculous...
