I've been seeing them on G4 Tech TV (Canadian version) over the past few days, and despite the obvious mistakes (2 Macs running XP when the user probably wouldn't be able to install bootcamp), and the infomercial style, I'm intrigued that there may finally (haha, I'm sorry) be a means for the lay computer user to fix common problems. For those that haven't seen them, they advertise that they can scan your computer and tell you why it doesn't feel as fast as it should. The question is, is it safe, cheap (apparently the scan is free), and effective?

Anyone else been to the website? (I'm afraid to go just in case it is a scam, but if that were the case, the commercial wouldn't be shown on Canadian TV.) Do you know anyone who's used it? Did they have success?

They are peddling a paid registry cleaner which will do precisely dick.

Not entirely true. It will probably shaft some drivers, cause some ongoing niggling problems that you can't elegantly reverse, and generally make your computer much more annoying to use.

That's what registry cleaners usually manage.
