Comodo Pc TuneUp

[Solarlynx]

I started to try it with happy anticipation of a miracle, scan gave me a huge number of errors to be fixed and ... I should pay! Why don't inform in advance that it's a paid product?

More Comodo crap.

COMODO PC TuneUp offers a collection of tools which will apply various techniques to try and enhance your PC's performance.

COMODO PC TuneUp isn't exactly expensive, then, at $9.95 a year. But it's still not that great a deal, and most people will be significantly better off by using the best freeware competition, instead.

These products in my eyes are nothing more than snake oil, even the free ones. They mostly just provide shortcuts to features already available in Windows. This Comodo product seems no different.

Yes they are all snake oil products, there is no evidence that registry cleaners will make your system perform better. Cleaning up Internet temp files makes you system slower not faster because everything has to be loaded from the server instead of using the caches which makes them faster. I would like to note that Comodo is NOT the only security company using these rogue tactics. BitDefender, ESET, Kaspersky, ZoneAlarm, AVG, Avira, Symantec (Norton), PC Tools and others are also guilty of promoting these junk snake oil products to increase their profits.

The main difference with Comodo, their products are basically supported by their forum members who do most of the beta testing and bug reports to improve development. It is like a slap in the face to all those members who have put so much effort helping Comodo improve their products to see them resort into using the same tactics used by malware vendors.

It is getting to the point where you just can only trust a very few security software vendors. As time goes on even more will have reasons to not trust them.

Thanks.

Absolutely, well said.

I remember trying Norton Utilities a few years back...my god that was just terrible. For such a large company to release such a half arsed piece of software and charge an extortionate price for it was incredible.

And the ones that you can trust aren't going to be the best choice in terms of security, since they are usually small companies.
I'm personally still waiting for GeSWall to be released for 64 bit computers, even if Gentle Security haven't been heard from in years.

Yup, even BDTS tuneup modules use default windows functions. But as a security and suite and developing great tech they are good. Most AV companies just give links to windows default tools as extras in their products.
But yes I even i got the domain invalid problem in URL void so just for a minute it crossed me maybe it was a rouge.
Also its funny that its at a subdomain and not at comodo.com/product/pctuneup.aspx some thing like that.
I am going to stop using their products too. I think its just better to pay a few bucks for security.

But this problem isn't unique to Comodo.
Many other security developers use these tactics to get people to give them money.
In all honesty, companies that don't use these tactics are less frequent than those that do.

Most of their products are, also it's useful to give the product an individual image & feel.

For example:

http://system-utilities.comodo.com/
http://programs-manager.comodo.com/
http://backup.comodo.com/
http://personalfirewall.comodo.com/
http://antivirus.comodo.com/

Also its funny that its at a subdomain and not at comodo.com/product/pctuneup.aspx some thing like that.

It would be much easier to list the security software vendors who don't use these rogue tactics then to list all the ones that do.

Thanks.
