Restoro

I was prompted that my license was expiring in 3 months. When I followed the link, I was given a new license number and lost 3 months service since the expiration date was from the date ow renewal, not the done year after my first expiration date.
They try to claim that is a normal way to renew.

First of all, if Microsoft Security says they are good, who am I to judge.
Renewal was tricky for me. I got it resolved thanks to Jaime G. On their Chat line.
I renewed 10 days early. It made it look like I was a new customer with a new license key.
Then I thought, what will happen on the actual renewal day? So I emailed and then chatted with Jaime.
I had two options: use the new license and add on the days needed to give me a full year of service, or use the old license until the actual renewal date and then start over with the new license key. But, Jaime wrote, I might have to pay out again for the renewal.? So, I came up with the idea of canceling the renewal I did early, get a credit for it, and wait out the next few days for the actual renewal. He agreed and I got my refund today. Thank you.

Been with restoro a few yr.s now and they have never let me down yet. Several times I went to bad sites I knew was dangerous (porn) and picked up a trojan virus that locked/control of my computer (windows 11 dest top) and called restoro. There is a phone number you call from their website, and they will/do call you back immediately. They took control of my computer and did what they did with me riding along and fixed my problem. I have had every virus security, you name it, and could almost never get them on the phone and they would never call me back...restoro always took care of me. A bit expensive but worth it to me cause I live a bit dangerously.

As usually, websites lie it is free. It is free download only. You have to pay to make it work - if it works.

I added it to my 3-year-old pc that was running very well for its age. Within a couple of weeks, my pc began running very slowly. Bootups took longer than usual, sometimes would not load the desktop screens completely, and webpages failed to load, while my router pumps out 140-150 Mbps. I have run the Restoro program at least 3-4 times a week attempting to remedy the problem. Today I uninstalled Restoro and went with ESET. It located 8 detections on the first scan! Skip on Restoro, it's a complete ripoff.

Main reason I bought Restoro was that it was advertised to fix broken registries. I run Restoro and when it was gathering information about my system is said I had 61 broken registries. Then it fixed it and restarted my computer. Out of curiosity I run it back immediately after restart and now it reported 93 broken registries. So not only did it fix my computer but it maid things worse. Very disappointed, what a waist of money.

I attached a screenshot of their disgusting business practices. You can't cancel the annual subscription, without losing access to the program despite paying for a full year up front. This is predatory business practices hoping that you forget to cancel. Oh and the software didn't work AND it got clapped by Windows Defender as a known scam/malware software. STAY AWAY.

Update: It doesn't let me comment under Restoro's comment so I'll update my comment in hopes that more people dont get scammed. You can cancel anytime, but you lose access to the program even though you paid for a full year and when you cancel, you're stuck with the malware and half of the program still lingering on your pc. You lose access to certain files by design so you renew. PUP's arent malware, but Restoro is. They also liked their own comment. I expect nothing less from these people. BUY AMERICAN OR FROM A 1ST WORLD COUNTRY. Their entire website looks like it was made off of Fiverr. STAY AWAY!

Used and it worked a little, but nowhere near what they advertise. A year later, they charge you again even though I emailed them to cancel the subscription prior to the charge. Never knew I was signing up for renewals. Scam company. Charges will be disputed.

Do a simple google search before purchasing this product. You can safely ignore the shameless IT sites paid to reccomend this as any IT expert will tell you to avoid at all costs. Restoro is not free but will scan your PC and tell you all the imaginary problems your PC has. Why it even finds missing system files not because they are missing but a simple 64 bit systernals scan show they were just hidden to this junk software scanning 32 bit right? After you get a list of false reported problems, viruses, etc you may purchase the software but get ready. This is where it starts. Your serial key will be accepted then it will stop working and promt you to contact them. This is where they try to convince you that you need a service contract. They are relentless and if you purchased with your credit card better check your charges. There are countless horror stories but I got to see first hand trying to help a co worker ditch these guys. As an IT expert I was able to easily find a simple driver issue no more however they had hagled there way down to a one time crazy fee to fix this supposed virus, malware, corrupted PC (Yes this is on top of the purchase software price because remember it doesn't actually fix anything). And suprise this is a recurring charge right. Don't believe a word from these guys. They will be logged into your pc remotely and I got to watch these clowns running scans with free apps like systernals trying to list these serious issues but as 15 year vet with a computer science degree this was just disgusting to see the bs, some folks may not know better. See what Microsoft Techs, Kaspersky, Malwarebytes and countless other reputable companies have to say. Scamware / fearware. Sadly this is the new landscape of online tech support sites especially when they are paid so handsomly or subsidiaries of this behemoth. I wonder why the billionaire owner went to prison.

Restoro is a program where you do NOT find any way to enter the license keys
And where you NOT find a way to cancel.

Tons of pop up messages make you believe, the programm is "doing something".

I wanted to fix my computer, so I downloaded this program. Not only did it not fix my computer, it wreck the whole thong. I had to refresh my computer, I lost a lot of data that I can"t get back. The worst thing I have ever done to any computer I have owned. If I could give it 0 stars I would!

When the tech said "I want to come into your computer to install this", whistles & sirens went off and red flags started waving in my head. Ive only let MSoft do that and it was years ago. I said NO and cancelled it on the spot- 2 minutes after I bought it. He said I could dn/ld and install it myself but I said NO, CANCEL, the order. He said it might take 30-60 days before a refund.
That was 3 weeks ago. Ive tried calling customer service and there is NO live person who deals with refunds, Its done by email only. NOT for me! Ive decided NOT to wait for their refund. I disputed it on with my CC company so that payment is on hold and I dont have to pay it. They'll go after Restoro to get my $$ back.
The first time I didnt take my own advice, I got stung: ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS read the company's reviews... do your homework.

Avoid Restoro! They are campaigning as the best help and their app is useless! Their techs lie. There is no support, no customer service and certainly they never refund their customers! This is a scam company. Fraudulent and I have reported them to every entity I can!

Purchased this a year ago when I was experiencing computer problems. It left me with a blank screen and endless hours of troubleshooting. I got nowhere with either tech support or getting refunded. Now, a year later, my paypal account has been charged another $44. Because it turns out it's a recurring subscription- something I never agreed to. Paypal resolved dispute in company's favor. Wish I had seen these reviews before I purchased.

I installed Restoro to get rid of some items slowing my computer down. What I got was two trojans embedded in their program, extremely slow boot up and shut down, inability to type in search bars, totally obliterated Phone Link to where I couldn't even uninstall it, and jittery scrolling. Other than that, it was... well not good.

Was having an issue with microsoft photo app not saving edits. Frustrated, somehow ended up attempting to download restoro. Unable to get license key until I called the 800 number. Call began poorly as getting the license key continued to be a problem but somehow I stuck with it. I was told my purchase included a free review of my laptop. Provided access and watched. My screen started to show alarming data - over 14,000 supposed Microsoft warnings and pages of malware and trojans listed. I fell for it somehow and agreed to a $300 contract - one of three options provided after the assistant had spent 5 minutes "talking to her manager" in regard to what they could do for me to address these issues and providing odd explanations against other remedies that I had not solicited. Referred to engineer with explanation that it will take him 2-4 hours to fix my laptop issues. He quickly solved my photo app problem when he had no problem editing and saving other of my photos. Problem was simply a glitch with the one photo I kept on trying to edit and save. I left him to address the "other issues". He called me in 45 minutes to say he was done. Asked me to check out my laptop looking for a sign-off on his work. My response- and the beginning of my doubts- was that I had no other issues with my laptop other than the photo app issue so was not sure what I could check out other than that the laptop was still working fine. We agreed to follow up the next morning at 8. Very quickly I began to realize that I had been deceived. I checked with two system managers from work and they did not understand where the data came from but stated clearly that if all of the info was accurate I would have been having lots of problems with my laptop. I wake up at 2 in the morning unable to get back to sleep due to this deception that had cost me $350. I get up and call the number provided. Talk with an engineer who asks for details when I tell him I want my money back. He puts me on hold for 5 minutes and returns to say a customer service operator will call me in 5-10 minutes. I'm exasperated. A call comes in with the label "potential spam". I answer and it is customer service who tried to happy talk me. It is the middle of the night and I have no patience and ask "Will I get a refund or not? Yes or No?" He hems and haws and I hang up. The next day after settling down I call again. Go through the same process but this time when asked "why do I want a refund" I went through all the details presented above. They offer to extend the contract. I say no, I simply want a refund. Assistant continued to be very courteous and finally says she can offer me $257 back (out of the $350 I had been charged). I push back. She holds. I tire and say I will accept the $257. She indicated I will get emails shortly detailing the refund. When I check back later the emails are there. The next day to my surprise I see that I have received a full refund for both the $50 initial charge for the download and the $300 service agreement! The powers to be must have reviewed the details of my conversation/complaint and decided to try to fully placate my complaints about their deceptive practices - hoping that I would be happy for the refund (I am!) and leave the issue in the rearview mirror. Oh well, half of their hope came true as now completed this warning regarding my experiences with this company. Still getting popups from them warning against more malware coming into my laptop. Head shaking experience and wondering how I could have fallen for their deception.

Installed and ran, started to get BSOD with stop-code-memory management. Then other BSOD kept coming on. Tried everything to correct. Finally went to a computer repair and they said my MOBO was bad. Cost me $300 to replace. Got my PC back and after installing my software I ran Restoro and BOOM it started happening again. Ran PC Matic and it said I had 2 virus by restoro. Don'[t even think about putting this on your machine. I'm now out the cost of Restoro as well as the $300 for a MOBO I probably didn't need.

Has anyone noticed how Restoro will respond when someone actually tells the truth about their useless app and Fraudulent company?
They come on and use a sales pitch about the unique service they provide. Let me tell you all, there is nothing new nor unique about scammers & fraudulent companies! Ancient! I think the public agrees with me that being scammed is useless plus harmful! Microsoft even indicates it is unnecessary app and other victims have posted on that community! When one has Microsoft OS, Restoro is unnecessary. It can actually ruin one's computer by deleting information from the Registry! Restoro app never repairs, never removes any viruses nor any malware! (If it did, why would one ever need a Repair by a Restoro tech? That service too is a scam)! One is better off to have McAfee which does protect one's identity, which does scan the computer to ensure it is free of malware! Or take your computer to a reputable computer repairshop! But Restoro? Having it on one's computer for a yearly subscription? One is paying good money for NOTHING! There is no support by this company. If you call, you'll just get an earful of what they think you need, and how much it will cost. Will you pay now? That's what Restoro does! It asks for your money, pretending to be this great savior for your computer. No one needs it! If you want to verify this, call them and just listen to what they have to say. But! Do not be suckered in! They are liars!
The staff at Restoro know what to post to appear gracious & helpful; but, they are unwilling to actually provide a service and to actually refund one's money back when the consumer discovers this is a scam! Does the public agree when an item is uninstalled & cancelled there should be a refund? Well, Restoro does not honor their money back guarantee! They just give excuses and when one calls them, the staff is incapable! Unhelpful. So offering the scammed consumer to chat and or call them isn't sufficient! That has already been done with zero positive results for the consumer! And that is why I am here to warn the public. I want everyone to avoid what I experienced. A no good one and I lost my good money to thieves.

Bought it, ran it, it seems to perceive problems that aren't actual problems. When you run it it "optimizes" your system, yet I continue to get super annoying popups asking me t run it all the time. What's worse is the "don't show this again" box doesn't ever work to stop the pop ups. Uninstalled it today because I've had enough of this BS. Until they fix these problems I can't recommend this program.

This product has many red flags. I purchased this product to finish upgrading Windows 10 from Windows 8. There is a known issue when downloading Windows 10 that a message appears " Windows failed to install" and this occurs at 73% of the download. I had meticulously tried various solutions to finish the installation without success. The solutions included 1. Remove the peripheral devices, 2. Clear the attribute of $Windows.~BT installation folder, 3. Rebuild the boot configuration data, 4. Repair corrupted system files, and 5. Perform a clean boot and installation.

No solution worked so I tried Restoro. When you purchase Restoro, the buyer is suppose to call the activate the software. That was the first red flag and unnecessary in today's computing. I was able to install the product without calling the 800 number but the second red flag was that I received two different license keys. After installing the product, the scan identified 1700 fixes and this is not uncommon for this type of software. The next phase is to analyze the fixes but the product would not progress past 70%. Despite multiple attempts, I received the blue circle of death and was forced to call tech support.

The agent seemed surprised that I was able to activate the license key without first calling. The agent asked me about the issue and then began to ask if I had taken the computer in for regular "checkups and another red flag. I told him that it is not a standard practice to bring in computers to a computer store for regular checkups but he was attempting to build a case of why I needed Restoro's expensive repair service.

I allowed him to remote into my computer and at one point he had 9 various screens opened and was quote "identifying problems with the computer." Most surprising was the screened showing multiple trojans and then he tried to make a case that my computer was compromised with malware and it was not. (see the photo). I run ESET Premium security and this software is rated as one of the best.

During this time, he opened up Notepad and started listing all the issues (another red flag) and include over 57 trojans. What he actually did was pull up a screen shot from virustotal.com and tried to imply that these trojans and viruses were embedded on my computer. Most customers would be fearful of this discovery on their computer, but I know that he was giving my a bunch of BS and I know my computers are virus/trojan free. He insisted I needed to have the computer repaired and Restoro could provide this service immediately for about $600 for 3 years. Another red flag and I told him the price was outrageous. At the end of the conversation the price was down to $200.

I told the agent that if my computer did in fact have the trojans he flashed on the screen, then performing a clean boot installation would take care of the problem, but he insisted that the trojans could be damaging my system trying to play on human fear again.

I told him I would take my computer to a local repair store and he asked why. I replied because I trusted the local store ( and at this point did not trust the agent or Restoro at all).

After the conversation ended I ran Restoro a 4th time, but this time I manually removed the items and did not rely on the program, and then ran CCleaner to search for compromised registry files. After rebooting, I was finally able to download Windows 10 Pro and it is working great.

This morning, I took my computer to the local store and had him run his software for trojans and viruses and unsurprisingly, my computer was virus/trojan free. This company is not trustworthy and to the unsuspecting customer, the agents will produce false screen shots about non-existent trojans in order to urge the customer to spend $600.
