If this is what you used to fix my computer, it is worthless. Four times you tried but never fixed it but never did. The report was a copy of the first time. Like you never did any thing and just used a copy of the first report. Looks like I'll have to find other repair service that knows what they're doing.

MyCleanPC will not stop charging my credit card after I have asked them to cancel the subscription repeatedly. Once the year is up, they will send you urgent emails and subscribe. They will plague you with them and you cannot unsubscribe. DO NOT OPEN THE EMAILS, as IF YOU DO they have rigged it to what it makes it appear as you SUBSCRIBING AGAIN for another year. They use that as a document with your credit card to tell them THAT YOU have authorized them to charge your credit card. In reality the credit card will not continue an investigation as it appears to be "falsely" true.
I have tried like many other people to get them to stop making charges to my credit card. By opening one of the many mails to try to unsubscribe is a way for them to "make" you unethically their customer against your will. They will send you an email after you open one of their annoying and insistent mails that says: "thanks for subscribing with us again". Calling them is no good as you get disconnected, transferred to no one or put on hold until you have to hung up because you have to go to work or continue living life. Credit cards need to be aware of their ways of operating and not allowing them to fool them nor their customer who hold credit cards.

My computer kept freezing so I purchased the "MyCleanPC" for $19.99. The product was unable to solve my computer problems and I was unable to get someone on the phone to assist me. I had to bring the computer back to the store and have them fix it for me. I also used the Geek Squad (whom I was very pleased with). "MyCleanPC" continued to bill me $19.95 per month and I never even used their service. I called to cancel my acct and receive a refund. At first they told me they would only refund 1 month, then I argued with them. Then they said "okay, we will refund you 2 months". I had to argue again and then they finally said that they would refund the whole amount. My dissatisfaction is with the way they handled the whole thing. Why should I have to continue to argue for a refund on a service that was never provided to me. Also, It is not clear when you sign up with them that there is a monthly fee associated with their lack of service.

First of all no cleaner be it software registry cleaner or magic potion or spell will speed up a computer. Having spent 25 yrs fixing and repairing computers I have seen every kind of con and shell game and software claiming to speed up or repair your computer. People if it sounds too good to be true it probably is and these fake reviews praising this garbage are to laugh. Not real customers except the ones who got taken in by this crapware bloatware malware. To prove a point and be fair I took a brand new and I do mean brand new out of the box computer and ran their "free scan" and it found massive infections and malware and gasp 4 viruses. Pretty damn good for a brand new computer. Steer clear from this junk. Save your money. Take it to a reputable PC tech. Unless you're partial to wasting money on this junk.

My father, who is paranoid and gullible about alleged threats to his computer and not software-knowledgeable at all, bought this. He ran it with the result showing 1000's of malware items, with a message that he had to call customer service to get them removed. They of course told him it would cost an additional fee, which he told me was something like $150. I believe (if I recall correctly, this happened a few years ago) he paid them ANOTHER fee later, as well. MyCleanPC (ha!) also installed unwanted other programs. My dad, like many people, just clicked through everything on installed, so if there was any way to opt out of these (somehow I doubt it), he didn't see it. His computer now barely functioned. It got extremely hot due to high CPU usage. When it did function, he got all sorts of pop-ups and browser hijacks.
I tried to remove as much of this junk as I could and ran some reliable anti-malware programs from a USB stick. This helped a little; we got at least some functionality back. However, things rapidly went downhill again. Dad has a new computer now, and I've told him don't believe everything some ad tells you about threats to your computer. Use legit anti-malware software. When he wanted to know how to tell it's legit, I said, for one thing, if you Google it, you shouldn't see page after page of bad reviews or customers wanting to know how you can get it off your computer because it screwed you up, which is what you find with this scareware scam piece of crap!

MyCleanPC is great for those who use their computers on a daily basis. This software allows you to keep your computer running well by cleaning it of any malware that can cause damage.

Paid for the software $19.99, one-year subscription on 8/1/15. Email sent confirming payment, and followed email instructions. Got to activation code on their website but was not supplied on email. I called them. Talked to Ella - she sent me the activation code. I entered code and ran it. After finished (3 hours later), my windows will not launch and I get blue screen. Have tried several times in safe mode, BIOS screens, etc. Called and talked to an Andrew, no help. Talked to Alvene, no help. My son talked to PC tech Jesse and was told they could do nothing. I called them today 8/2/15 and was told the same thing. I want something done - they should pay for everyone's PC systems. This should not be allowed when they have advertised on many radio stations and everywhere, AND THIS IS WHAT WE GET??? WHAT A TERRIBLE THING TO DO TO PEOPLE!!

My dad visited this site and came up with over 7000 errors on his PC. I had installed and maintained that PC, and I'm an experienced PC and server support technician (over 18 years experience in the business). So to test that site, I created a virtual machine, did a clean installation of Windows (I tested with both XP and Windows 7), and ran their free diagnosis tool. In both cases MyCleanPC came up with 7,000 errors. Baloney. Buyer beware.

I took the bait of a free download. It said I had some thousand issues (I had had my computer "cleaned" and bought Kaspersky protection about two weeks before and had done every internet work since then.) So, I wanted to get rid of MyCleanPC. I searched my program files, but I can't find it. Now, every time I start my computer, it runs its "check," with varying "results," recently in the hundreds even though I have not done any cleaning etc. Also, there is no email contact listed.

MyCleanPC is a piece of junk. The commercials claim that it speeds up your PC, but it doesn't do squat. The program scans invalid registry entries, browser history and temporary files and can de-fragment your HDD. Not only is that pitiful for a PAID optimization program, but also "fixing" them won't speed up your computer. First of all, registry entries. The program scans for empty registry keys in the Windows registry, and if you pay $20, you can delete them. The problem with deleting these keys is if the program incorrectly flags a critical key and deletes it, that can render you computer unbootable or cause fatal errors. You can also do it for FREE in CCleaner, although I wouldn't recommend cleaning out the Windows Registry at all.
Browser history, you can do that for FREE. Just load up your browser, open your history, and clear it. Simple as that. Temporary files? Deleting temporary files could theoretically speed up your computer a little bit, but CCleaner does it FOR FREE and actually does a better job. If you've never cleaned out your system before, CCleaner may be able to find 2 GBs or more of junk. De-fragmenting tool? Do that for free with IObit Disk Defrag, Windows Disk Defragmenter, or Defraggler. Not to mention that these tools will do it much better than MyCleanPC. The website contains testimonials which are obviously staged. Total **. If a company has to resort to FAKE testimonials in order to trick people into buying their products, that's a red flag right there. You won't find any of THESE reviews on their website!
Point is, MyCleanPC is TRASH. Don't buy it, and it won't speed up your system. Many FREE alternatives like CCleaner exist out there which do a better job than the paid version of it. Did I mention that their tech support sucks? The people in the fake testimonials rave about how the tech support is so good, but it's your typical Indian tech support center. They don't know what they are doing.

They bait you with their so called low price scan and fix of about $19 but they tell you that you have a computer that is badly infected. They talk and talk and talk and try to flim flam you will a lot of technical talk that doesn't mean anything (I should know I've worked with computers since the late 1980s and I know flim flam when I hear it). They always suggest that you go to their technicians that will charge you $100 to fix your PC. So they bait you with the low cost ad you see on TV and switch it up to their high cost services.
A lot of times our computers may seem like they are ruined when it's just some silly adware program (etc) and you need to find out where it is to delete it. Sometimes it’s easier to find a fix it program but there are scams like MyCleanPC. I ended up getting just reinstalling windows after saving all my data, then I got a known brand AntiVirus Software and it was fixed like new. Bottom line is stay clear of that MyCleanPC because the only thing they clean is your wallet.

After seeing the commercial 1,000 times, I decided to give them a try. I paid the $19.99 and ran a scan. It said I had 4,000 errors. I then said fix it and it basically did what I could have. It deleted temporary files, cookies, and history. I then got a call telling me that I had registry errors and they would have to have a tech go in and correct this problem for $200. I declined after much persuasion from the saleswoman on the phone to have it fixed. It's a big scam. The thing that they don't tell you is it has a reoccurring charge every month until you call them, of course. There is not just a way to cancel by just pushing a button.

I didn't mind the fact that they said it was $20 for a diagnosis because I had a feeling there would be more charges to come... There were. $99 to fix the issues that the $20 diagnosis found.

I was receiving some error messages on my computer, and it was running a bit slow, so I decided to try the program. I purchased the program for $19.99 and had to call to activate the program. I called and spoke to someone who never identified his title - I called a computer software company, and would assume I am talking to a computer software expert.
Upon trying to install the program my computer kept getting a "certificate error" and we were not able to access the remote log in. The person I was speaking to said that since they were not able to log in, there were much more issues with my computer and recommended purchasing an upgraded service for $99.99 and have a technician go through my computer and fix all of the problems. They would spend 4-6 hours repairing my computer. A technician called me a little bit later, advised me to correct the date and time on my computer which fixed the certificate error. The technician called me about 30 minutes later and advised me he was done with my computer.
What did I pay $99 for? I corrected the date and time myself and they probably ran the software program. I called and complained and they refused to refund my money. The woman I spoke to was very rude and spoke over me the entire time. I have filed a complaint with the BBB requesting a refund for selling me unnecessary services and taking advantage of me as I am not familiar with computer software issues. Do not use this service!

SOFTWARE: Obviously a scam! I downloaded and ran it just for the heck of it, and it found 1000 errors! 1000! It was a new computer then, and the software somehow found 1000 errors on it! When you try to "fix" them, it tells you to purchase it, which sets off red flags. It seems to be scare ware, bent on getting your money to fix useless and non-existent errors. Additionally, the software was supposed to remove malware (which it doesn't), which seems like false advertising to me.
WEBSITE: The website looks generic. It contains user reviews, downloads, and contact information. I checked the user reviews, and every one seemed positive, which perfect grammar and videos of people who dressed too well for a simple user review. They seemed too perky, and the user reviews are probably fake, since every other source says that they received horrible reviews. The contact info has a support email address which is linked to a completely different website, UsTechSupport.com, which was blacklisted as a scam by HPHosts.

I reminded her once again the computer crashed because of their software that was installed. I asked for an explanation again. I then asked her if she was telling me that we were out of luck, that it's not their problem, sorry, and that I am just ** out of luck. And Alicia said, "Basically, yeah."
I asked for a copy of their terms and conditions to be mailed to me and was once again denied. I was told to go to their website and read it from there. I reminded her that their software made our computer crash, and she told me I could go to the public library and use the computer there. I asked for the address to send a letter to request their terms and conditions and was told that I would receive a call upon receipt of my letter which advised me that I would have to log on to their website to obtain this information.
So I thanked her for not helping me and hung up. I later looked up the website from my computer (not my husband's that was crashed), and guess what? There is not one iota of information, unless you download their software. There's no contact information, no terms and conditions, no nothing. How long will they be allowed to get away with this?

I downloaded the program and was connected to a so-called technician. All he wanted to do was sell me more expensive programs, one costing nearly $600.00. He wouldn't take no for an answer and I had difficulty with this pushy person. I’m going back to exercise my 30-day money back guarantee.

I purchased this crummy program but I was issued a refund for this junk. The way that you can get your money back is to place on a charge account or even a by using a debit card. Under the "Special Rule for Credit card Purchases" (a federal law), "If you purchase an item and are not satisfied with the quality of goods or services, you have 60 days from the purchase date to dispute the purchase. You must first make a good faith effort by contacting the merchant and trying to settle the matter. You only have this right if the item you purchased is over $50 and the merchant is located at least 100 miles from you. The complaint also must be initiated within 60 days from the date of purchase."
Technically, the creditor doesn't have to honor debit card transactions or if it is less than $50 but if you assert yourself you will prevail! Simply speak with a customer service agent associated with the debit or credit card by calling their 800 number and then selecting the choice to speak with them. Certain exceptions can be made if it is beyond the 60 days such as a particularly long wait for receipt of goods or the inability or need to have tried the product before the 60 days is up such that you couldn't have possible yet known if the product was defective. If you do this, you will receive your money back.

I am unable to remove a program from the computer without having to go to extreme measures - Malware program. It also pops up when not wanted.

I paid for and downloaded MyCleanPC onto my computer and had nothing but trouble with the program. It was not cleaning my PC as I was getting the same error messages time after time. I finally had to delete the program from my computer. I contacted the company and told them they did not have my permission to charge any further charges against my credit card. I never received a response. I would like to have my cost of $ 39.98 refunded, but no one will talk with me or answer any of my emails. What can I do to get my money back and make sure I am no longer charged?

I saw the company advertised on TV for an antivirus program called mycleanpc.com and I wanted to add to my wife's computer that was a year old. On July 7, 2010, I contacted via internet "mycleanpc.com" and to clean PC and add antivirus protection, they wanted $69.93 for one year. When ordered and activated, I was instructed to call. Technician got on the phone and I gave him access and control of the laptop. He said I have over 420 errors and that they would need another $389.00 to remove the viruses. After they remove the errors, it would be good for one year.
I refused and requested an immediate refund of the $69.93 and indicated that they were a scam organization. They indicated they would refund the $69.93 but it would take awhile. The next day, I had a computer expert review the laptop and he said there were no errors on the computer and that he had seen this before. Once I let them in, they placed the errors on our laptop to get us to buy their products (which I believe was done when they placed me on hold for two long periods of time). Their advertising led me to believe that I would have computer cleaned of any errors and then have antivirus protection for the $69.93.
During my discussions and my challenges of what exactly they were doing, they were very rude and placed me on hold for long periods. I'm very disappointed as they have the USA Paper (News) emblem on their main page. I find it hard to believe that USA would support this. I really believe this company is a scam artist.
