User Reviews

• Contains a Trojan.

  tattooedandrude8/31/2010

  Pros

  Works pretty well for what it does.

  Cons

  Found a trojan imbedded deeply inside. Removed it with iobit 360.

  Summary

  Stay away from these tweaks.

• Extremely limited in use.

  chrisausten11/25/2009

  Pros

  * It`s free * It`s good for older versions of Windows.

  Cons

  Almost useless for most people.

  Summary

  I have tried two versions of this application, including the current one. Despite what the other reviewer said, it does not contain a virus (AVG is known for erratic results). As for Tweak VI, almost all of it`s tweaks apply only to Windows XP and older. For Vista and 7, about 90% of the settings are non-functional. But hey,....if your still using Windows 98 or XP, this is for you!!

• I guess I wanted a fresh windows install anyway..

  bc43215/26/2009

  Pros

  Absolutely nothing.

  Cons

  Well, I'm back now after reinstalling my operating system. Corrupted and/or deleted system files. Windows would not load at all after using this. Save yourself a lot of time and look somewhere else for a product like this.

• Use if you don't want to use your computer.....

  dragonfly86105/6/2009

  Pros

  I have to be honest, I didn't use this product long enough to find any pros...

  Cons

  ...but I did use it long enough to find that it doesn't tell you the consequences of certain selections, like My Computer refusing to display any of my drives when opened. It does one thing right...it asks you if you want to create a restore point.

  Summary

  This program will lock you out of your computer faster than the administrator can!!!!!!!

• Cons definitely outweigh the pros

  ttfootball603/6/2009

  Pros

  Allows you to easily perform functions that may be difficult for most users to do without knowing something about the Windows Registry, is fairly easy to use.

  Cons

  Seems to cause unwanted side effects. My computer was having problems connecting to the internet, Windows Sidebar was not loading right, and there were a few other problems, all of which began after I installed this and stopped when I removed it.

  Summary

  Download at your own risk. This program will allow you only limited control of your system unless you purchase the full verison. However, after the laundry list of problems that were occuring when I was running this application I wouldn't recommend it.

• This free version is not good.

  Tolyan-7310/31/2008

  Pros

  I did not even start trying it cause after downloading it i found out that it brought to my PC a lot of useless shit advertising together with a program itself-i deinstalled it on the spot.

  Cons

  This version is created just for advertising, and has not been properly done. In order to obtain such program working properly one must buy commerce version.

  Summary

  Have nothing to say.

• Not worth the time...

  Graystone558/17/2008

  Pros

  It does have some nice features but nothing like the old Tweak UI for XP.

  Cons

  First it takes a good deal of extra time and resources just for this program to load at startup. It eats tons of time just getting itself booted. It nags you about getting the paid for version. It causes lockups of Vista Premium that are not recoverable without a complete reboot. It's incredibly difficult to find anything on their poorly organized menu structure. In all, I'd say skip this one. Even for free it's not worth it.

• Basic Means Just That

  FubarGuy5/21/2008

  Pros

  Sections are nicely organized, so it should be easy to navigate to the areas you'd like to optimize. Shortcuts to get to the Windows System Utilities are convenient. Customizing Start Menu items is easy too.

  Cons

  Don't expect to any serious system optimizing without upgrading to the paid versions.
