is maxmyspeed.com safe?
or even useful, mew? there was commercial they offer free diagonsis to help see what's slowing down computer, but I dunno if that helps. It might be kind of like those websites that offer free virus scans but then charge to remove the stuff.

There are plenty of free anti-virus programs available. Try AVG or Avast.Originally posted by jenova_9 View Post
A glance at the site reveals nothing that's blatantly shady. Looks like one of those programs that tries to roll up a bunch of PC maintenance tools that are commonly available individually.
I wouldn't waste your time or money with that site. If you've got a specific problem with your PC try to troubleshoot that directly rather than looking for a cure-all.Server: Midgardsormr -> Quetzalcoatl -> Valefor
