I purchased Fixcleaner with Windows Optimizer and Driver Update to fix a driver problem I was having on a laptop. I downloaded and installed the software as instructed a I started to get error messages telling me that I needed to purchase DriverUpdate for $29.97 to fix my problem. I suspected a scam, but the ad feastured the Microsoft seal I figured it was OK. Like an idiot, I put in my CC info and bought the DriverUpdate, dowloaded and installed it only to have more error messages pop up telling me I had to buy more software to fix my issues. I suspected a scam and did some research only to find out that FixCleaner is what is called "scareware" and a scam... So I got ripped off good. I did buy a new laptop though.
