Restoro

It's not cheap, but my laptop is 4 or 5 years old. Started having problems. Got really slow, problems restarting. They were great. Took control of my laptop and fixed all the problems. Runs like new, and, while expensive, it does include monthly maintenance. It's cheaper and easier than buying a new laptop.

Why would I pay anything when I can't tell if the product will work effectively? The paid version of Restoro might be good, but I'm not willing to find out unless I see if the product does what it says it will do. I have paid for a number of products after using the free version, but Restoro does virtually nothing in the free version and is super aggressive about paying for a paid version. Thanks, but no thanks. ALSO - after reading the high number of HORRIBLE reviews about the product I'm glad I didn't go any further. When you read the reviews (and the stock responses to issues) you will not consider this product.

Somehow my Nero software had a scoring icon (or something like that) I clicked on it and it routed me to Restoro, my computer had been running poorly so I figured it was a relative inexpensive way to have "a pro" check it out & fix it. It wasn't until I paid for that when my very courteous & aggressive CSR, told me I would need to push thru to a higher level rep who would sign into my computer (with me watching) & begin to evaluate the situation. It took that rep many hours to make the necessary fixes to improve performance & speed. I didn't have time to sit & watch all that the rep did or didn't do, but I stayed close by & checked what was being done, mind you, without my really knowing if what that rep was doing was fixing my problems or creating more. When that rep was finally done, I was told to see if it was performing better & I'd receive a phone call the next afternoon to follow up. Well they finished so late, I had to go to bed. I am currently fighting cancer & couldn't stay on my computer any longer that night. The next day I had a chemo treatment, so I wasn't home, although a rep did reach out. But I wasn't able to sign into my computer for several days due to my illness, and when I finally did, there was no noticable improvements, in fact it has been running worse than before I made this financial & timely mistake by assuming whoever would be fixing it would be able to make the required changes & I'd be better off. My fault for assuming. So my computer is running worse than ever. I'm out several hundreds of dollars, that I would have never let myself been a party to a feeling of falling victim to a scam & I felt that 1st rep who aggressively talked me into leveling up took advantage of my illness to make her quota or whatever she was required to achieve. If it was to take advantage of me while I was mentally & physically impaired, then bravo, she found a sucker that day in me. She made it clear that there were no refunds & the "deal" she claimed to give me was her employee discount, as though she was doing me a solid. Any other day or in my right mind, I would have never even began the entire ordeal. I consider myself an above average computer user & I feel humiliated & embarrassed that I fell victim to what clearly isn't what it claimed to be, lesson learned. I had told her my health issues and I feel that was where I began falling prey to her aggressive sales techniques and frankly although I haven't worked for nearly 2 years due to my own illness & covid, my very limited and tight budget was never considered, much like my health issues. I had given up to much info and before I knew it I had been out several hundreds of dollars & I was\am too ill to even attempt to let anyone back on my computer to what I assumed would be more hours of my limited time just to have my computer further messed up. I chose to move forward with a reputable company that was local & not in Puerto Rico, as she told me she was. If I had been in my usual healthy state of mind it never would have gone as far as I allowed it to. My bad for believing her sympathetic words would actually be helpful rather than making me feel like I was screwed over & scammed. Something I'm generally on top of, but clearly not that day. I am very angry that my only tool of info & limited work had caused me to allow myself to be taken advantage of, when I was at my most vunerable & clearly not in a situation to be scammed. Again lesson learned & the high cost to learn it just means less medical care and\or food on my table. Shame on the entire process that allowed someone in my stated condition to find myself in.

Purchased this program on internet, when I tried to run it on the first day, got a message that my subscription expired and I need to pay. Again?
Don't waist your money.

I did get through and the agent took my personal info, email, name and phone. Then said she wanted to connect to my computer, saying it was secure and I could disconnect anytime. "I chose to disconnect."

I ran Restoro on my Win 7 Computer and the results were very problematic. My computer slowed down to a crawl after running Restoro. In addition, Restoro told me that WebRootSecure Anywhere was malware and had to be removed from my computer. WRSA is the most reliable Anti-Virus Software I have used for the past ten years or so. In addition, the programs on my computer DID NOT run faster, only slower. I scoured the internet and found that Win 7 has a built in Utility that will scan the registry and fix registry errors which typically consist of DLL errors which can wreak havoc with any computer. Furthermore, this is NOT an area that users may want to do this manually. The FIRST utility to use on a Win 7 computer is to Go To the Command Prompt, then type in sfc /scannow. This process will take some time but this program repaired ALL OF MY DLLs and ALL programs ran like I just installed them when I set this computer up 3 years ago.

As a further note I have tried other System Repair Programs with similar results. That is, the registry condition was damaged, not repaired very well, and not repaired by the last two System Repair Programs I tried before I tried Restoro.

One final note. Friday evening, April 8, I put my Win 7 backup computer into sleep mode. I had not run any System Repair on this Backup Computer before placing this computer in Sleep Mode. When I started up this computer on Saturday Morning I discovered that both of my Hard Disk Drives were wiped clean with no operating systems and no recoverable files on either hard disk drive. The Win 7 install disk was not able to find anything that could be repaired or recovered on either hard disk drive! So if anyone has encountered any such malware or similar system event kindly post here right away!

I purchased their program to recover an overwritten excel file. When their program did not recover the file I called for assistance. The salesman convinced me to purchase their technical service at $299 U.S. with a 60 day guarantee and they would recover my file and clean up the files their program could not. I said if they could not recover the file I did not want the service. The tech first tried to recover the file and went through the same file recovery process that I had already done and knew did not work. He said he was not able to recover a file and that it was not their type of service. I was mad and he said he was not the one who told me that their tech's could recover files which they cannot. I advised the tech the contract was void and to do nothing further and I wanted a $299 refund. He said he was just technical support and would have to pass this back to Administration. Given the tech advised he could not retrieve files, I was sold this service under false pretenses. They would only return $199 and the salesman did not advise that I would not get a full refund when he said there was a 60 day guarantee. They refunded the software fee (which I did not want a refund for), but I assume kept $100 for their salesman's time.

I installed Restoro and the download wouldn't start. After a few minutes I called the support line. I ask the person to get it going. She connected to my Laptop and ignored my requests. She started doing super detailed scans and it was one sales pitch after another. She told me my computer was in terrible shape and I needed it to be gone thru buy a licensed tech person. I ask how much and she seriously quoted me $350 to $500. I told her to get off my computer. I couldn't get her to disconnect so I deleted all Restoro software. My laptop was on the verge of crashing after they went in. I am totally convinced they went in and completely copied/cloned all my complete computer data. Took me 2 hours on the phone with HP to get it working again. I say Stay away. It was just an attempt, at the very least, to sell me more services, but also tried to steal my private information.

The type of software they sell that cleans up Windows can be found for free on such as File Hippo. They point out from the start that their software doesn't cover third party applications. However they then go on scan for these issues, then try to scare you with all the problems they find before saying "don't worry we have an expert who can fix all this" Then they quote a minimum of £299.99 + VAT. A pretty slick sales pitch but I saw it coming and steadfastly refused to buy their offer much to the increasing annoyance of the saleswoman who was obviously trained to deal with any objections and who kept upping the ante with increasingly hysterical scare tactics. They got me for the Windows "clean-up" but I have already cancelled the repeat subscription and won't ever be renewing. Be warned, I worked in sales and they are pretty good but I made it clear I could see through the pitch. Take my advice and avoid like the plague!

Try to get your money. Instead of you fixing pc, you pay them money. To activate, you let them mess up pc. Restoro will not let you restore pc to original software. They use fake slides to get you to buy mcafee and cyber ghost. Will not refund your money after cancellation and following steps required. Bogus site

I performed a Google search on the deice error I received on my PC. The Restoro add popped up claiming that all I had to do was download the software to repair it. I paid the money and ran the program scan of my computer. The software allegedly fixed all my problems but it did not. I called the 24/7 support and was surprised to hear that these scammers wanted more money ($150 more) to fix my problem. I wish I would have read the reviews b4 buying. Unethical companies like this should be put out of business. They are predators plain and simple. Nice job Restoro... you got me. To any potential victims... stay clear of this company!

This company is dishonest. It promises a 60-day, money-back guarantee, but they lie. I canceled their lame service within three weeks and they kept $150 of my money. High-pressure sales, ineffective security and broken promises. That's all you'll get from them. Buyer beware.

I feel so duped haha I thought restoro was doing me a total service and like, really helping keep my computer clean and running well haha but nope! It is stupid unsafe and malware infested - do not purchase like I did!

I signed up for this for $58.95 and was told that a technician would have to fix my problem and that would cost $149.00 I told the person no way forget about it and refund my $58.95 she said she would send me an email confirming my refund, never received the email, I disputed the amount with my Credit Card Co.
The only problem I had was my Printer is on pause and I cannot print anything and that was the only fix that I wanted.

Restoro.com started as a useful tool. I used the automatic clean-up and it worked for 6 months. I called the helpline and ask the technician why Restoro.com quit working? He indicated that Microsoft had corrupted the Restoro program and he could do nothing. I talked to Microsoft and explained,
They were helpful and ran their diagnostic program, Microsoft found no problem. I called Restoro again and got the same response, "The problem is with Microsoft. I quit using Restoro because the problem was always someone elses problem..

I thought this service was for pc repaid. I paid $40.00 and received a message that I would have to call a number to download the software. I had purchased software in the past and never did I have to call. I called the number and so lady wanted access to my computer and I received a warning from my security software WARNING this company will have access to your personals data. I told the lady NO and hung up. She kept calling my phone and I reported the charge and this fraudulent company. NEVER GIVE ANYONE ACCESS TO YOUR COMPUTER YOU Don't KNOW
