I have just downloaded PC Bugdoctor and it says I have a bunch of errors, which it can repair for me! Has anyone used it and how safe is it to use?

Hi,

I now nothing about most of those programs, but take heed to the wind.....if there is a program that finds your errors free and offers to fix them if you BUY their program.....then be very careful. My personal opinion would be to not buy it. There are just too many free programs out there that can fix anything that is wrong with your computer. By the way, what errors did it find?

[hewee]

I would stay away from it.
It say's a feee scan but then your find out it is not free because it will not fix anything till you buy it.

Worse yet is it cost alot of money

I have Bug Dr, and as far as i am concerned it is not worth the money if you have to pay for it ..unless you can have a free trial for about 2 wks, All it does in its showing of errors is fix missing short cuts .. but the very funny thing is it repeats the same short-cut that were just repaired as needing to be repaired again.... I would not recommend this software .. I do not feel it accomplishes anything beneficial to the system ..... if I am wrong pls let me know ..thanks Jazz402

Jazz402,

No you are not wrong. I downloaded the free spysweeper or some long ago and it was telling me all these things but it would not fix anything either. I have adaware, spybot, norton win doctor and they all came up clean.

So I knew that what it found was just a front to make you think it found something so you buy it. Boy would I be really mad if I had paid to fix what it found to find out every thing was ok to start with.

By the way Jazz402, Welcome to TSG

Your very welcome Elaine5645.

here's a warning to anyone about maximum software and their programs. My sister just had her bank account tapped by maximum software and charged her 3 times at $59.95 each for pc bug doctor and she never intiated anything! They're scam artists. Unfortunatley for them, she's military and she's gotten a military judge involved. oh boy is maximum software going to pay for that mistake.
So let it be known...
MAXIMUM SOFTWARE IS NOT LEGIT!!!!!!!

stuguy,

Welcome to TSG

Hey great to hear. Let us know the out come.

[stuguy]

They use an AOL address for their billing department. What's up with that? No phone number to contact them, and so far their "tech support" plays stupid. Definitely a scam. Not so good for them. I've made it a personal campaign to thrash their name across the internet.

[hewee]

Wow thanks for the added info stuguy.

Well, if you look at the so-called quotes from 'happy customers' it's pretty obvious that you're getting fooled around...

I have been chasing PC BUG DOCTOR for two weeks for a refund! The software didn't download properly ....... guess what -- no reply to my daily e-mails.I downloaded it as I really needed to get a piece of work finished. I have written to VISA to see what they can do. growl

[blues_harp28]

Hi...I always stay away from online scans that promises to fix anything..
Far better to d/load a program that you can make a backup for,before you remove something that may be neede for your system to run.....Did it once not again..

[Chil]
