reimage system scanner
gary:
While browsing your site and viewing the page for Tweaking Windows Repair, I noticed that you are recommending that I should download REIMAGE System Repair.
As I always do before I download new software, I did an Internet search. The result was that I found numerous sites, forums, etc, which state that REIMAGE is NOTHING but a SCAM software that does NOT work and downloads PUPs.
I suggest that you remove the recommendation to download REIMAGE from your site. This software can only damage your reputation for writing and supplying high quality products.

That is an Advert, not a recommendation :wink:
Try this....

reImage is not a scam... as a matter of fact I am running it on the machine I am typing on. The software is a legit way to repair your operating system on a file level.. among other things.
It gets a bad rap because of it scan first then buy to fix model... Some people call that 'scareware' but it is also the best way to sell a product like that. They also used to package with a toolbar which I think was a poor choice for them as well.
But i think the software is misunderstood more than anything. People think it is a registry cleaner.. It isn't. Here's a decent older review that makes a good pro and con case for it.

Reference the responses from Samson and JPM.
To Samson:
When I accessed Tweaking Download, it suggested tha,t before I download a Tweaking app, I might like to try Reimage. THAT is NOT an advert, it is a possible affiliate link!
I use ADblock Plus, together with Easy List and Easy Privacy. I also use Chromium Secure with blocking on all sites.
None of these picked up the Reimage message as an ad.
To JPM:
You refer to the PCMAG article.
IF you read the comments in that article, you will find that ALL the comments (except the obvious shills) are very negative.
I did install Reimage. It reported non existent Windows problems. It listed 22 faulty DLLs but would not display them when I clicked on the highlighted link. I uninstalled the app, including the hooks in the registry.
So, to sum up, Reimage is a scam product which reports non existent problems to scare neophyte users into buying the app.

Semantics...It's an advert.
Do you have "Allow some non-intrusive advertising" checked in your adblock filters? Are your filters up to date?
I use the Easy List subscription and do not see the advert with it enabled.
Addendum: Beats the heck out of me why you downloaded it after you had already decided that it was a "Scam" :rolleyes:
