reimage system scanner

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.

Samson:
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:
