“My computer used to be fast, now it’s only sort of fast” ….

Gosh, if only I had a nickel for every time I’ve said that myself… I’d have, well, nothing. Have you noticed how everyone in infomercials are having the worst day in their life until some miracle product comes along and saves the day?

Seriously now, friends don’t let friends install finallyfast.com.

This website is a prime example of snake oil salesmen scaring people into believing that the answer to all their problems is just a click away! The problem is they are making boatloads of money ripping off the unknowing masses. Try to imagine how much it costs to put a commercial on TV, it’s in the millions of dollars! Where does that money come from? By selling an overpriced product that nobody needs.

I would download the software from finallyfast.com and run it on my system, but I don’t want to add adware, spyware or some sort of malware to my computer! Furthermore, their software will scan your system for errors but you cannot fix any of them unless you pay for it.

Here are some excellent and FREE programs that will do the same job and you won’t have to worry about adding your wallet! These ARE NOT affiliate links, I make no money if you use any of these programs.

- Microsoft RegClean: One of the original registry cleaning utilities, and no longer supported by MS. This doesn’t mean that it’s not a good program, it just means MS doesn’t want to help you with it anymore.
- TweakNow RegCleaner: I’ve used this in the past and really liked it. Make sure if you are using this you do not delete entries you actually need. I haven’t used the newest version, but I can recommend it without hesitation.
- Spybot Search and Destroy: Awesome program, totally free and super powerful. This can actually prevent future problems by running in the background and alerting you when a program tries to make changes to your computer. To use this properly you MUST understand what each popup means and not just deny them all.
- Malware Bytes: Another awesome and free program! This is a highly effective spyware and adware removal tool and with the paid version it runs in the background to help prevent these programs from being installed. You don’t need to pay to use it to scan and remove malicious programs from your computer.

Please help to educate those who are not computer savvy by telling them to not fall for these scammers.

My other big problem with computer scammers is “Geek Squad”… I feel another rant coming on!
