PC HealthBoost: Is It a Scam or Does It Really Work?

I have been having a lot of problems with my PC lately.  It keeps freezing up and sending me weird error messages.  It will sometimes close my programs (MS Word, the Internet, etc.) without warning.  It takes forever for my PC to start up which is frustrating, especially if I am in a hurry.  And I don’t want to even get started on how long it takes for me to access the Internet or open large files.  I’m not asking for my computer to be perfect, I just want it to work like it did when I first bought it.

 

I’m not exactly computer savvy.  I just use my PC for surfing the web, reading the news, charging my electronic stuff, creative writing, and occasionally preparing for a presentation at work.  I searched online for a way to speed up my computer and found many sites that show you how to fix these problems on your own.  But to be honest, I don’t have the time to clean up my registry, fix my driver issues, solve my DLL problems, or do computer maintenance.  I want to find a software package that will do most if not all of those things.

 

I came across a product called PC Health Boost.  I was a little wary of the program at first.  It just seemed too good to be true.  On their website, it says that PC Health Boost does routine computer maintenance, fixes registry problems, solves difficult problems with the DLL’s, removes startup problems, and more.  It sounds pretty good, but I want to know if it really works or if it is a scam.  To figure out the answer, I decided to do a little experiment.  I bought PC HealthBoost and tried it out.  Here is what I did.

 

 

First, I downloaded the free version of the program that would do a free scan of my computer.  I saved the application to my desktop and began the free scan.  It checked my shared DLLs, application paths, file associations, uninstall entries, COM and Active X controls. MRU list, help files, and fonts.

 

It seems like the program did a pretty thorough job in searching my computer for errors.  After having my PC for at least 4 or 5 years, I knew that there were a lot of issues with it.  My mom, dad, brother, and I had all used this computer at some point.  Between the four of us, I’m surprised that the PC is still in one piece.  The scan took about a minute and a half to find all of the errors.  I was surprised to see how many my PC had.

 

After the scan was complete, I clicked the continue button to fix the errors.  I expected the program to automatically fix the errors without my input, but it did not.  It compiled a list of errors for me to personally review before any changes to my PC were made.  This made me feel good, like I had some control over what was being done to my computer.  I’m glad they included my input in the process rather than just changing things without my consent.  

 

When the list of errors was compiled, I had the option to control what this program fixed.  If I didn’t want it to fix something, all I had to do was uncheck the particular box.  It was user friendly and easy to use.   

 

After I looked over the errors it found, I clicked the fix errors button.  It then told me that the unregistered (free) version only fixed half of the errors on my PC.  If I wanted it to fix the rest of the errors, I would need to register (or buy) the full package.   

 

I liked the program so far, so I decided that I would invest in the full software package.  I went back to their website and got my own personal license key.

 

 

After entering my license key, I was able to continue with the software.  Once registered, PC HealthBoost fixed all of the other problems my PC had.  It recommended that I run scans on a regular basis to keep my PC running at peak performance.  I decided that the moment of truth was here.  Would my PC really work better after installing PC HealthBoost?  Would it run faster or more efficiently?  I closed the program and shut down my PC.  I waited a few moments before turning it on again. 

 

In all honesty, my PC started up much faster than usual.  I was pretty happy about that.  It took some time (being a 4-5 year old PC) to start up, but it was faster that normal.  I then logged onto my account and decided to try surfing the web.  I was delighted when I clicked on my Google chrome icon and it didn’t take 800 years for me to get on the web.  I was even happier when I was able to open up files and folders on my PC quickly and without freezes.  Since I installed PC HealthBoost, I have not had any error messages, crashes, or freezes.  My computer is running much better than before.  If you are still skeptical, give it a try and see how it works for your PC.  I can see a difference on mine and I couldn’t be happier with the product.
