I followed the guide on their website to extend the size of my friend's C: drive because she needed it. I'm sure I did every step correctly and the process went smoothly. Finally, the PC booted up and every single data on the drive was corrupted (CDE,.. everything) and they were not recoverable although I tried my best using command lines to repair the MBR. I went to their forum and some people complaint about the exact same thing. Worst experience ever. Took me 3 days to repair and setup everythingWhy the hate for EASEUS PM? Is this something to do with borking drives that I am unaware of personally?
First time I heard BB trashed Windows. I use it all the time w/o any issues. But, in software what works for one doesn't always work for others. Do you remember which version of BB caused that issue.The worst would be BleachBit, as it trashed Windows. I've only used it once. I used the community ini file and then checked every cleaning section. I did not enable the sections BleachBit cautioned me about. When I did a clean, it deleted lots of system files. Kerish Doctor alerted me about some system files being deleted, and even recovered some of them. However, it was not enough to save my Windows install, which got completely trashed, and I could not boot it, even after a System Restore.

Norton because it likes to auto-delete stuff without user confirmation? Personally, option 'Restore & exclude this file' always worked for me. But I agree partially, Norton obtrusive push to install additional extensions/toolbars/pop-ups (about other Norton products) are annoying, but as far as I know, they are working on it to make it more friendly experience for users.Norton AVs

Using HMPA was like putting 2 dumbbells on my legs. I noticed huge performance drop with frequent non-responsive messages. It also increased CPU usage of other programs it injected to and when I was watching livestreams, it was constantly using 2.5% of the CPU while none of other security products did that. Finally, I noticed something was wrong with my laptop as I felt it a bit buggy. After I uninstalled HMPA, everything was working as they were with huge performance gainQuite the list.. But shouldn't HMPA be on the best list?

I conclude, HMPA is one of the heaviest programs I have ever tested. I won 1-year license but I could never tolerate it
EDIT: I think HMPA is not useful for home users. Just for more vulnerable people because it's strong as an anti-exploit, everything else, except anti-keylogger, is average. Price-over-quality is low, IMO. I don't believe it can block more malwares/threats than a free product like voodooshield if we use them in 1 year
I could not agree more with this. Windows ME takes the cake. I'm still traumatized after so many years.Windows ME. Couldn't ever get it to run. I remember it always BSOD right after the Windows boot logo and not once did I reach the desktop.
I have no idea what version it was. It was some time ago and it the only time I ever used BB.First time I heard BB trashed Windows. I use it all the time w/o any issues. But, in software what works for one doesn't always work for others. Do you remember which version of BB caused that issue.
Advanced SystemCare won't cause any problems these days, because I got IObit to fix false positives in the registry cleaner. It's safe to use, but not really needed.1. Iobit Advanced system care (to be honest I would put every registry cleaner or tweaker, just snake oil. Will do much more harm than the problems they solve).
it's just my opinion based on my usage and my observation on people around meHave to disagree. HMPA is on my best list and I've added to any machine, which I deal with security. Totally positive experience

when I was using the old version, when I was downloading using IDM and the download finished, BD was still sucking my data at the same rate during the downloadI have been using Bitdefender Totalt Security for a while. What was your negative experience?
