    My brothers showed me that ad on tv, very cheesy. Too bad some people (I'm thinking people like my uncle) will see it and actually go there.

    I find it really funny that they use PowerPC era Macs but with Windows XP screenshots :p

    bullcrap, it LIES. finallyfast.com just preys on stupid people.

    in their commercial it shows a mac getting a BSOD and says specifically that it is for PC's only. that is false and misleading advertising.

    McAfee SiteAdvisor tells you a lot about "What's behind the scene". In this case, check it out www.SiteAdvisor.com. You see a lot of negative comments. Stay away from it.

    While I was searching information about FinallyFast.com, I did recently stumble across this application called RegCure from this site www.PCPerformanceClinic.com. I downloaded and tried the software. It actually made my computer start-up a bit faster. Give it a try if you're looking for a quick fix. I think the trial version has a free Start-up program manager so you don't really have to pay for the program. That's what I did - just use the start-up manager to get rid of those junkie programs that consume computer resource at startup time. The less number of programs you have at startup time, the more likely your PC is going to stay running fine.

    Looks like one of those programs that only use animations in their windows and fake a scan... xP

    From what SiteAdvisor said, the program has Malware in it, I haven't really inspected it.

    LOL, I saw the commercial for it on tv last night. Funny stuff. Sad thing is, there are a lot of people who would be foolish enough to fall for something like this.
