Anil, Thank you for your comment, will be added in future versions.

JDP, Thank you for your comment. Every program has bugs, it is impossible to make a 100% perfect program. Thanks.

Xvirus, Bugs? This is beyond bugs, this is just shoddy design and programming. A bug is not something that is obvious to everyone that uses it, anything that obvious should be picked up by the developers. The fact that none of them were just shows lazy incompetence.

Morgan Pierce, I agree with many things that you've said (a bit an unfinished product), but come on it's free !!
I'm sure ccleaner and glary utilities, once, were unfinished products.
I remember when Glary Utilities, once screwed windows after running it on my first SSD drive...since the issue was fixed..they all have to start somewhere and we get it free to test it for them, and suggest some improvements. by the way padlock is for securing your files and folders with a password, and passguard is not bad actually, it for generating passwords for all your access user name. I did also suggest to them to have help files on hover over each module which they say they will do ??

MikeR, the product also has a free version with all updates that will work just like Ccleaner. The difference is for Ccleaner you pay €20 for 1 year of the pro version with automatic cleaning. For Xvirus Personal Cleaner you pay €6 for 1 year or €20 for lifetime pro license with automatic cleaning.

Xvirus, Have to agree with MikeR about your company name; confusing. Perhaps a contest to rename your company with some of your software up for grabs; just a suggestion.

Why all the "no" votes. What the Xvirus rep says it true; I spent a good part of the afternoon researching it. Even at twenty Euros it's less expensive than CCleaner's one year sub; $21.21U.S. today.

I'm not really interested in automatic cleaning and I'm still using CCleaner Free, but I'm willing to give this a try.

Xvirus, lets face it ... your product has bombed here. The concensus is that people think the product is a waste of time and money ... CCleaner has you beat hands down.

tom, You can use more than 1 cleaning software. If you try use Xvirus Personal Cleaner after ccleaner it will detect somethings that ccleaner didn't.

tom, based on the developers comments I tried Xvirus Personal Cleaner (XPC) because based on his comments it seemed as if XPC is as good as CCleaner. I really wanted to like this, but sadly I don't. I was going to make a point by point list of reasons I will continue to use CCleaner Free versus XPC, but I just don't have the time.

The only two positives I found are 19.99 Euros ($21.22US today) lifetime license compared to CCleaner Pro annual subscription rate of $25US (23.55 Euro today). I stated earlier that I wasn't interested in automatic cleaning; what I meant is that I'm not going to pay an annual sub just to get auto cleaning; if it were an lifetime license with lifetime support I probably would.

The only other positive is the UI; with that said I don't care about UI, the only requirement I have is that the software does what it says it will do and it's easy to navigate. CCleaner meets both those requirements.

One more thought; I saw a comment about the lack of help files. To be fair CCleaner doesn't have help files, but then doesn't really need them. XPC has some tools that are vague and a help file would be beneficial.

Sadly I cannot recommend XPC over CCleaner.

Wai, can you give more details on the error? Any blue screen, error message?

Well this is the step:
1. download the file.
2. installed xvirus
3. use it, enter the key
4. Like some one said, you have to reboot after entering the key. So, I reboot.
5. around 5-10sec later. Mouse frozen, nothing works and then windows 10 BSD. "DPC Watchdog Violation error"
6. Was able to get in to safe mode and remove xvirus.
7. Not sure why problem still exist. Chrome was out of the screen. So, I wasn't able to use it. MSI gaming app doesn't start up.
8. Was able to use one of my very old Restore point. Every thing is working again.

After putting in the key, and then restart the PC. Around 5-10sec later. Windows 10 BSD, 0% to 100%. and then it say "DPC Watchdog Violation error" no error code.

Uninstalling the software actually didn't work. I have to use old Restore point and that fix the issue.

Wai, Maybe another thing was causing it. In my personal computer that already happen to me when I overclock the graphics card too much using MSI afterburner. Hope it helps.

kami, Thank you for your suggestion. Will be added on next version.

Sue,

Boy, you sure showed them.

oops! I too was under the impression that it was an anti-virus product! I agree C Cleaner does all of it and the free version gets as many updates as the paid version!

Richard, you must be very new to this site, the GIVEAWAY versions are always time limited. The people who work so hard to create software need to have a paycheck just like you do. They use this site to test their software and to get feedback on how to improve it, it isn't here just to give you something for free. TANSTAAFL! The lifetime license merely means that the program will keep working long after one year from now, it just won't update - for that you buy the software at the end of the year, and you get the benefit of having a whole year to decide if this is the software you want to use to keep your computer safe.

Richard, the paid version gets all updates just like the free version. Only the license from the giveaway won't get any update. You can choose between keeping it, update and use the free version or buy a license for the pro version with all updates.

Larry, I doubt Richard is new to GOTD. And he wasn't referring to general giveaway terms anyway. . . but to the giving away of an anti-virus which never gets updated. Obviously, no AV from any developer remains without updating, otherwise there'd be no point in having it.

Richard now realises this isn't an anti-virus software at all but a cleaner.

Larry, I have been enjoying GOTD giveaways for many years, I am not new to it. I have, as a result of my trials here, become a loyal cash customer to several companies whose products I have previewed on GOTD, so it does work for software developers.

I am assuming that you work for or are the developer of the product. If so, my advice, as a LONG TIME user, is to offer a limited duration subscription, but with updates. As it is good for the hopefully eventual customer to see the update process and how simple or complicated it is and how your computer will react..seriously, what good is a lifetime license to software that will get outdated and is not update able, as new pests are discovered? Your defensive response was unwarranted..this is not a free lunch, but a free sample!

Richard, Larry does not work for the company and having no program updates doesn't mean it won't have database signatures updates. Just it won't have any bugs fixed.

MikeR, Thank You!

Larry, and this is fine for as long the applications offers something unique but not for an application that offer less than free alternatives.
You see, the word 'free giveway' does not give the vendor special rights to do as he pleases, for this giveaway the vendor receives advertisment exposure and useful input.
If the offer does not stand at the same level or better than free alternatives, it does not deserve any positive comments even when it is offerd for free.

ew, my bad, i had to close it in the tray to restart, activation works!

ew, but now it's showing the message "Xvirus Personal Cleaner is Updated!" at every start.

ew, You can select the items you want to remove or not by clicking in details> settings>scan and unselect what you dont want to be cleaned. Showing the update message every time is a bug that will be fixed soon.

Xvirus, thank you for kind replies to previous questions.

You answer, that I can unselect what I do not want to be cleaned does not explain what is essential for such program. Do you mean that (1) I may select/unselect before the scan begins and then there is nothing I can do if I missed to unselect a class of items, or (2) does your advice refer to the display of files AFTER the scan is completed and before the entries, files etc. are eventually cleaned?

Option (1) is not satisfactory at all. Option (2) – yes.
Your reply will be welcome. Regards – Marek

So it will be fixed in the new version wow considering theres no updates you should of released it after you fixed it I'll pass on it now thanks for the heads up though ;)

Xvirus, ok, thanks

Marek, (2) Before the scanning you can select what you want to scan on the settings, after the scan is complete you can use the settings>scan tab to select what to clean.

Peter v Rijswijk, There will be updates. You can choose to keep this giveaway version, update and downgrade to the free version or buy a license with either 1 year or lifetime updates

ms , If you think that's a farce then check your post using a different browser or PC than you originally posted from. You may just find it really was NOT posted at all and will only show from the same PC and same browser! I have tested this many many times and have found very fraudulent results from giveawayoftheday!

TK,
Which country are you talking about? If you cannot say it, then you are using free speech to infer something, as you feel free to accuse but not name.

By the way, I was simply trying to point out that one particular program was better than another, just "freely" stating a fact, but the post was deleted.

Have a nice weekend.
