FYI, this scanning tool won't fix any problems. It may however find a problem and I can't say for everyone. It will however take you to a page for you to "buy" the fix. If you're here you know there are a lot of great free tools out there that do better then some of the corporate programs.

@Jettisawn: That's not correct. The FreeFixer software does not require you buy anything in order to use the removal feature.

Here's a video from Download.com which shows FreeFixer in action:

Glad I found free fixer which offered a chance for me to vent my feelings on the Restore product. Buyer Beware: It is possible that this company is professional but all I can say is that I did my best to find multiple reviews on this company - and if it is really such an effective company why did I find only one - written by 2-spyware.com on July 20 which had testimonials raving about the product - and I strongly sense the text was written by this company and passed on. I emailed the company 2 times - and told them the price did not match what their webpage price said (2-3 times the price)- and then came the reply in "so many words": Well we target different areas and so the price is different." But I did run their trial scan and it found a FRACTION of what two of my current Utility programs found. Maybe this is why PC Mag, CNET, and others passed on this company - so Buyer Beware - Glad i did not waste my money with them. One last comment for what it is worth - my Malwarebytes continually found PUPs - you see although I ran a trial, the company installed many files - and when I used an Uninstall utility, you cannot believe the number of items it removed - and I never asked to keep the product because the scan was free but I did not risk paying for it and getting nothing.

I purchase Restoro in January 2010. This week when I tried to run it a window opened asking for my serial #. After many attempts with failures, I called the support number. I received a callback and after the "tech" got into my system for over an hour. He said I need to get a more advanced person to fix it and would take over an hour. Next came a sales page where I could get support only $500 for 2 years! Hard sale followed with extra year and so on. I hung up and restarted my system. Then my phone started to ring with people offering to fix my computer. just a scam
