Using "Advanced Mode" it was possible to view the results by type: Malware, Adware, Suspicious, PUP, Trojan. 55 PUPs (including 781 parts of threats). It lasted 42 minutes 51 seconds, scanned for 330,746 "virus strains and unwanted programs", investigated "58 memory items, 41,070 registry items, and 75,797 files". Nor does the existence of an "Analyst Team" capable only of claiming stuff, when what I need of any software is the assurance that those behind it know stuff. Such disregard for accuracy strikes me as a unhelpful certainly, it does not inspire trust. It's as if the developer doesn't even understand the difference between actual and potential - and thus its scan is reporting 53 programs I definitely do not want on my computer when in fact the software has merely estimated the existence of 53 maybe-possibly-then-again-maybe-nots. Though the sheer woolliness of that comment is disconcerting - 'cause troubles': huh? - the assertion that everything identified as a PUP is "unwanted" is even more so. But our Analyst Team claims they can cause troubles on your PC." If you don't know the meaning of the acronym, the scan report page states: "Remember: PUPS are unwanted programs you may use at your own risk. Main thing to note here is the existence of so many PUPS. But they might also be very, very impressed with all those numbers. Novice computer users may well give up at that last result, perplexed by a math that might seem inexplicable. It lasted 6 minutes 40 seconds, scanned for 330,663 "virus strains or unwanted programs", examined 78,405 items, found 820 harmful objects, 767 threats, and 53 PUPS including within those 53 a total of 780 parts of threats. Which meant that as soon as the program launched, so, too, did a 'quick scan'. Neither are desirable.Īs many computer users unfortunately don't take the trouble to check a program's settings first, I followed their example and left things as they were. This is particularly important where Settings are concerned, because this software is defaulted to starting every time Windows starts and performing a scan every time the program is launched. An excellent GUI, though as ever, the user should delve into its features before doing anything else. This review is therefore of that trial product, one which, because I haven't paid for it, has been capable only of reporting. In this case then, I did not download the GOTD package but instead went to the developer's website and used this link: Your activation code will be generated automatically.Advice first: with any program of this diagnostic nature, the potential to do good is equal to the potential to do harm a computer user no more wants their pride and joy misdiagnosing with a serious illness, requiring serious yet entirely unnecessary remediation, than they do themselves.įor that reason, installing a fully-functioning version of a diagnostic program which might in some way result in a mis-advised repair is never to be recommended.
