Pros
Works as described.
Cons
The company does not have customer service.
Summary
My computer died on me. I contacted customer service to find out if the license code can be transferred to my new computer, but no one replied. All I needed was an answer, so I could decide if I needed to purchase a new code. It doesn't matter how good the product is. When you needed support and it's not available, the product is garbage. I researched online and found out a free solution available in each version of Windows. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS. Editor's review is a good reference for the product itself. You should listen to the users because editors do not run into the problems as users do. Good luck!
Pros
-None whatsoever!
Cons
-NONE EXISTING CUSTOMER SUPPORT
-OVERSEAS CHNA COMPANY
-GREEDY
Summary
I bought this software about a year ago and now that I changed computer system, my software has to be re-register again. I emailed the company 4 times with no response. Their solution is for me to buy again? You can use Winmend Auto Shutdown for FREE. Don't waste your money or time with this company. You'll regret it!
Pros
-NONE WHATSOEVER
Cons
-NONE EXISTING CUSTOMER SUPPORT
-REQUIRE REGISTRATION IF YOU RELOAD OR CHANGE COMPUTER
-OVER-SEAS CHINA COMPANY
Summary
Don't waste your good hard earned money with this software. I bought this software about a year ago and when I changed computer, they require me to re-register. I contact the company 4 times with no reply. They are only interested in getting your money and then you are on your own. Do not buy. Winmend has similar features and is free!!!
Pros
I use it to Hibernate and then Power-on my PC.
Cons
None - works perfectly.
Summary
Works great with my Windows 7 system. My new motherboard's BIOS doesn't have scheduled power-on, so I tried this program - works perfectly to Hibernate and then Power-on my PC.
Pros
No whatsoever.
Cons
Does not work correctly all the time. Can't uninstall the software completely and no support.
Summary
I'm experiencing the same problems as other users such as Wolters3, cneteek, j_thoroughly, etc. So, the problem is definitely with the software. Feel like being ripped off. This software should not be allowed to be sold. I don't understand why it received such high mark from CNET staff, I suggest they re-evaluate it for a longer period of time.
Pros
Not that I can think of.
Cons
Unreliable. I installed the software in 5 Windows XP SP3 computers, none of them works correctly after a few weeks. The software will power on the computers at unscheduled time, did not hibernate the computers at scheduled time reliably.
Summary
The software is completely unreliable. I should have evaluated the software longer before making the purchase. Don't expect to receive any support if you do run into problem even if you are a paid customer. I consider the money down the drain.
I had e-mailed the support several times and were being ignored. I finally had to tell them I probably had to submit a review based on my experience, they finally replied, the only suggestion and response that they had was to download the latest software and that they could not reproduce the problem. When I replied I had the latest software installed and asked for further help, I never received any reply. So, don't waste your money, stay away. Wish I had read some of the reviews before making the purchase. The program gave me more headache than help.
Pros
I don't know.
Cons
It prevents the monitor from turning off and removes the windows password protected login. Worse, both of these effects remain after the uninstall process.
Pros
Not any so far, unfortunatly!!! It seems like a promising idea though!
Cons
Will not work as intended and support does not answear any mail!
Summary
I bought this a week ago and first it looked really promising and did indeed woke up and put my PC into hibernation. But since this first "lucky" event, I have not manage to get it to do what it is supposed to do. Even if I schedule a daily task and tell it to put the computer into hibernation and to wake up a certain time later, it does not. Even worse is that I cannot get any answers from the support!!!
Pros
Useful features
Cons
Trojan tries to install when registering. Nobody responds mails reporting the problem with registering.
Summary
The features are very useful, but Trojans in registration procedure are of course not acceptable. No response to the mails asking for checking this and helping to register SAFELY is also not acceptable. Better to loose 25 USD then put the system to risk !!!
My rating would be high (4 or 4 stars), if not the problems I mentioned.
Pros
Absolutely no pros. Unfortunately I had to give it a star because cnet system would not allow me to comment without. Actually should be no star.
Cons
Extremely disappointed in cnet for allowing a program like this to be on your website. McAfee caught over 10 trojans before I just stopped the installation. Please be more responsible cnet since you even state that this program is spyware free.
Summary
Do not download.
Please Wait
