Makes my PC faster by doing what _exactly_? I don't believe in programs like this and everyone using it should do a system backup first.

I can't believe in this day and age you will still get people stupid enough to fall for the:

Instantly makes your computer faster

claim.

PGWARE, what exactly does your software do to make such a claim. Does it magically triple the amount of installed ram or upgrade the cpu? Not to discard regular pc maintenance, but there has never been any software that could magically upgrade your hardware (which is the ONLY way you will see an instant improvement)

Snake oil...stay away

Installed, the program only has ONE button to use "Optimize now" and it will adjust several settings in Windows, Ok....but it wants to restart the computer and you cannot view WHAT changes have been made to your system, VERY POOR i.n afraid.

Programmes of this type MUST tell you what it is going to change on your machine.
If it doesn't don't use it!

Recently I was saved from the total loss of my main drive; lost all the menus and icons on my desktop, this had happened to me before and I was never able to boot from the drive again.

Have been running Kerish Doctor for a number of years and when the above problem occurred after about 30 seconds a message popped up and informing me that there was a, system problem.

It asked me if I wanted to repair the problem or if I wanted to carry on and do nothing, somewhat nervously I requested a repair.

Instantly my desktop and menus were restored and my computer was back to its normal self.

Frankly I wouldn't be without Kerish Doctor; my point is there are really useful programs of this type.
They can increase the speed of your system when your Windows OS is old and is tying itself in knots.

I'm not going to bother with today's download as according to previous comments it does not tell you what it is going to do, dangerous.

Today's developer really needs to re-think what it's doing. Asking potential customers to buy the product is fine; asking potential customers to invest blind faith in it, absolutely not.

A utility such as this must have operational clarity, because as the developer itself says on its website:

PCMedik makes your computer faster by making several changes to Windows settings; for instance it turns off several animations that degrade performance, instructs the CPU how to prioritize background tasks, how files are loaded and written to the hard drive, changes to the way memory is used when programs use the memory swap file and dozens of other performance settings. With these system changes made to Windows and the fixes to common problems, your computer will run faster and operate like it is brand new.

That's a *lot* of changes -- the fact that the overwhelming majority, if not all of 'em, could be straight out of any Internet forum you care to name for any OS you happen to have is by-the-by: follow tips 'n tweaks advice on such a forum and you'll always know what you've done, and why, and how to reverse it . . . whereas here, unfortunately, you won't know what's being done or why or how to reverse it.

The advice of others on here is well-founded.
