"Save your time and avoid this product."
Pros: Appeared to work good for a couple of days.
Cons: Does not work with Vista,it has pop up ads.It made my keyboard and touchpad inoperable.This is the 2nd PC Tools product that I have had problems from.I will never install one of their products again.

Luckily I knew to uninstall this adware as soon as I started having problems.Not a good way to gain new customers.Install at your own risk. read more -
