Magic Speed 2.3

This is supposed to be a PC speed booster. It's supposed to make your computer faster. The producer even claims that it's free, but it's not. In my opinion, it costs a lot for what it can do. According to the producer, "magic speed will make your PC faster and more efficient in 5 simple steps". However, after the first step I tried to delete an application at the program's recommendation. A message window popped up, but part of the message was unreadable, because a blue text was displayed on top of the gray text.

When I pressed the 'Update' button, the program began an update process that was stopped by an error. Then the program stopped responding. The program has a system tray icon where it shows the free memory. That will also show you the processor load, if you place the mouse pointer over it. For the free memory, the listed values varied from 40 to 42 Mb. My computer has 1024 Mb of memory and Windows Task Manager shows me that I have 536 Mb occupied. After I finished the five steps given by this program, I wasn't able to notice any difference.

Pluses:

Drawbacks / flaws: The producer claims that it's free and it isn't. It was unstable during the tests.

In conclusion: It's not a very useful program. It crashed even when it tried to upgrade.
