Problems wioth ThunderSoft / Thundershare PC Optimizer beta ( NRFPTY not ready for prime time yet, prounounced Nerf Putty ):
– can’t register to woork on a computer that is disconnected from the Internet, so … limited usefulness at actually ‘fixing’ computers that are broken
– creates 500,000 temporary files during operation just to make it’s little animations twirl … I can’t imagine wanting to whack away at any drive, especially a slowing-down SSD, with that kind of i/o intensive noise, especially when trying to perform maintenance and ressussitation, plus, if the program is exited by surprise, that half-a million group of file hangs around,
– whacks dlls that are intentionally mismatched, requiring reinstallation of software that comes with it’s own dlls instead of depending on Microsoft’s random availability – “coordinating” dlls is actually counterproductive and inappropriate – BitWar also does this,
– offers to delete a lot of useful recordkeeping, such as AdwCleaner logs and such,
– does not offer immediate cleaning of the thing you are looking at, you must toggle and endless inventory of choices, then return to the main conterol, and say “go ahead” all at once,
– no configuration to teach it our preferences,
Thanks, TX, wondewrful hard-wrought insights as always – yes some things ‘work’ on Windows 7, but why bother?
I think many Chinese companies have common back-doors and or common toolkits and or shared employees.
This is useful to explore, but then we must exit, and only do stuff manually outside the program.
And beware of that churning of 500,000 temp files while it’s running!
Thanks, Ashraf – it’s always interesting at SharewareOnSale.
