"WIN CLEANER"Seriously...has anyone EVER tried this?OR seen it for that matter?

[jboydgolfer]

I stopped into a "Dollar Store" or 99C store, or whatever those stores are called where everything is a dollar or less, and i found this bucket of dog Farts on the shelf in a back corner...I had to buy it just for Shits Sake.

Link to page/product info.



You can see the excitement in my Face, as i anticipate the limitless potential of my PC after the "PC Cleaner" does its thing...

on an ENTIRELY unrelated matter......does anyone have a Spare PC i can Buy

I'll plug that into my little N270 rig if you want.

Let's hope it is not write-protected. Otherwise - a nice cheap flashdrive

 

[natr0n]

Guessing its like a ccleaner with autoloader when inserted.

I would try to format it maybe its has a good size 2gb or less I would guess..

 

[peche]

99c 1Gb drive? maybe

 

[Toothless]

Could possibly be a 256mb drive, that would be more than enough for something small like ccleaner to run off of, maybe even 64mb.

 

[Frag_Maniac]

Is it just me, or does it appear they intentionally made the colorful packaging and shape of the thumb drive look like a laundry soap pod?

So does it use a bleach free formula? LOL

 

[peche]

it has red ligths... thanks god no RGB!

Walmart was selling it up by the cash registers with the other "As seen on TV" products then it was later moved to the shelves over where blank DVDs etc. in Electronics section.

Edit: When I use to work there it hardly sold ended up with a lot of backstock/overstock in the backroom.

We happened to be in the Dollar Tree the other day when I first saw one of those puppies. The wife brought that over to me, and I had a good little lulz. Makes me kind of wish I had bought it for the $1

Review of an older version if anyone was curious, not worth the $19.99/29.99 I seen it priced in store or online.

 

[erocker]

I'm thinking of several inappropriate sexual references and contracting STD's.

Nope.

@jboydgolfer it works as flash drive?

I'm not sure I would plug that into any computer I wasn't willing to sacrifice to the Malware Gods.

We Test it on someone else computer when we Suspect it Will need a Safe and Sure hard disk Reformat then nothing is lost if it borks things

"" Honest guv there were other hidden faults ""

Nothing like airing dirty laundry on selfies! And I might have that same calendar!

That USB reminds me of other "professional scanning software". Does anyone remember those commercials for MyCleanPC, it was "free scanning" software that once installed, it installed pre-made "bugs" that would force you to purchase the software or a subscription, IDR. It became the first type of ransomware, you couldnt uninstall it, the next reboot caused it to re-install itself again and its bugs. I think it had a keylogger too not sure.

It is legit... but, when I tested it a few years ago, it was like most cleaners/fixers. Sometimes it cleaned and sometimes it would screw up.
Personally, I was not impressed. There were better options out there.

WinCleaner OneClick Professional

It is made by Business Logic Corporation and they were purchased by NextCapital Group, Inc.
They, also, make WinAmort Professional
They used to make and support WinCleaner UAC Switch, which was one of the first UAC switchers. Now that works nicely and is simple... I still use it and it works with Windows 10.
But you need to download it elsewhere... as they discontinued it.

85% of all that program does can be done by command line as well.

hit cmd, type "cd %temp%"

It will put you into the temp folder; now hit "del *.* /f /s /q" and it will trash the temp map as well.

CCleaner is free on the other hand. But both lack any malware scanning. Either combofix or Hitmanpro.

I'd be surprised if it works, i'd be more surprised it doesn't contain a virus.

I'd be surprised if it works, i'd be more surprised it doesn't contain a virus.

If he lives in the US he could sue the store pretty bad if it did. I'm pretty sure it won't.

But hey even small USB sticks have their uses!

 

[qubit]

@jboydgolfer haha, looks like malware in a plastic packet. Good find.

Funny seeing the lesser watched channel that played that crap and claims from PC world or what ever sites they claimed reviewed it and loved it from like back 2006 or something.
