Malware and false reviews

Directly linked me to a malware install posing as crash log reading. Scam website with fake reviews.

There is no direct or indirect link to any malware on our site. We tried contacting you to show us where you spotted this. We're also unsure what exactly do you mean by "fake reviews"?

Looking forward to your input.

Helped defragment my C: drive

Was having issues with Steam, got a disk write error.

Someone suggested I defragment my hard drive so I ended up finding a guide on the website which worked flawlessly.

I am now (thanks to this site) back with my friends playing games :)

I'm assuming this https://windowsreport.com/windows-10-adjust-brightness-not-working/ is the article. We are happy you fixed it!

Yesterday I had an error with my VPN…

Yesterday I had an error with my VPN and found their guides. Now I know a quick way to solve it (print screens are a great idea because I can follow each step). The info is relevant and easy to understand even for a non-tech-savvy person.

Easy and fast

It's not in my nature to leave reviews on and for different platforms, but I want to mention that this has helped me repeatedly - in various fields, for various problems.

The steps are easy to understand. You can follow and execute them effortlessly.

It's a very helpful website.

SCAM / Potentially dangerous website

This website is, indeed, a SCAM! It's full of fake articles, fake reviews, fake links to Amazon... complete garbage! Additionally, it tries to make you download suspicious programs e.g. "DriverFix", a so called driver updater that no one has ever heard of (I'm an IT professional). When it comes to positive reviews, it's obvious to me that at least 99% of them got paid (the rest being written by naive people), so don't believe a word of what they say!

Hello "Grizzly Bear"", I will try and address all your concern and claims.

1. We are by no means what you refer to as a "scam"...Every year our website is visited by more than 100M readers and they rely on us with our technical expertise. How exactly are we scamming them? We run ads as any other ads and we try to keep them to a minimum.

2. What exactly do you mean by fake articles, reviews and links? All the publishers monetize with Amazon links, this is normal. When we can review a product, we review it.

3. DriverFix is quite reputable, here's what TechRadar thinks of it -> https://www.techradar.com/reviews/driverfix 4 out of 5 stars
https://www.techradar.com/best/best-driver-update-software 2nd in the list

We actually tested all the driver updater solutions and were shocked at how annoying were they to the users, whereas DriverFix is very clean and does what it says.

4. We definitely don't get paid for 99% of our reviews. What exactly are you referring to?

Would be happy to address any other issues you might have.

WindowsReport is a SCAM

WindowsReport is a scam! Whenever there is a problem, they suggest you download a software called "Restoro". What you are actually doing is installing malware on your computer. I was amazed to see all the good reviews about this website, which leads me to believe all the good reviews are bots that companies use to misleads people. Do NOT do anything they tell you to do.

Hello Matthew!

Restoro is by no means a malware, it is indeed marked as PUP by their competitors. We suggest the program because we've tested it and it does help with the following issues:

-> malware threats
-> dangerous websites
-> poor PC performance

The program also frees up precious disk space and replaces damaged Windows files.

We serve more than 100M readers every year on our site, we definitely wouldn't afford to recommend malware as that would ruin our business.

I am happy to further address any other concerns you might have.

Terrific troubleshooting guide

I was trying to figure out how to fix Miracast on my Windows 10 computer, and they had an amazing guide that went through all the troubleshooting steps with an appropriate number of screenshots. It was perfect.

MS OUTLOOK opening any URL from mail has stopped working.

MS OUTLOOK 2019 URLs would not work. message read "Your organization’s policies are preventing us from completing this action for you. For more info, please contact your help desk."

Problem was I was hijacked by "webnavigaterbrowser" which my malware program scan found and deleted. However. My Windows default application setting was not changed to a valid browser so Outlook was just failing to find a browser that it could open the URL in.

Some of this information was found in the post at windowsreport.com organizations-policies-preventing-action #comments

Terible VPN adds

Almost every article written by Vlad Constantinescu so called "VPN Expert & Privacy Advocate" is just addvertisment for their deal with 'Private Internet Access' VPN and has no other informational value.

Hi there Karel! Thanks for your comment!

You are indeed correct in your assessment and PIA does rank highly in our articles. We have actually tested most VPNs ourselves and discovered that it does work the best in many instances.

However, in the same time, we are very aware of the fact that sometimes we might not be as accurate in our testing as our readers want us to be. Let me assure you personally that we are taking steps to improve our content and make sure that whenever there's a better VPN solution for that specific need, we will make sure to update our past articles to reflect the change.

Vlad does his best in finding the best privacy tool our readers need and we hear you loud and clear.

We appreciate your feedback and we'll work hard to gain back your trust.

I was trying to increase the sensitivity of the microphone on my Samsung Laptop when I hit the OK the microphone disappeared, I could no longer speak to my laptop, a major problem with so many Zoom meetings. Looked online for an answer, some sites advised downloading drivers, that did not work. Then by accident found this site and followed simple instructions, nor have microphone working again, phew!
