General Software Discussion / Re: How the mighty have fallen: TuneUp Utilities 2010

« on: November 08, 2009, 06:49 AM »

It is so irritating that the bigger companies have all gone a bit too far. I quit using Tune-up a few years ago but all these utilities are a bit suspect.

What really gets me though is companies like PC_Mag that send you an email that says "Free Scan" etc and then downloads and installs and creates a false scenario that needs according to them 555 modifications and then says that to fix you have to buy the program at 59.95. Yes 59.95 for a collection of Freebies.

I Use Avenquest System 9 Suite Pro for everything including Virus, Firewall (Sunbelt) and backup. They have all the rest of the utilities and have been pleased with the program overall and then only one installation.

One of the biggest rip offs of the season is the price of the DVI Cables. They use less materials in their makeup and I was looking the other day and a 6 foot one was about $35 and a ten foot one was over $55 so since the ends are the same you are paying $5 a foot for the wire. Yeh sure !
