Beware of imitators

Posted on 15:58 by Unknown
Lately a lot of these 'system tune-up' companies have added features they claim similar to Process Lasso's ProBalance. Let me urge caution, without being disparaging of anyone. It took years to refine the ProBalance algorithm, even though I'm an expert in this field. Put simply, it takes real world testing and feedback before you truly know if you've 'got it right'. I strongly recommend you disable any feature similar to ProBalance when found in other PC tune up software. After all, Process Lasso consumes almost no resources and will do the job better.

That's just my word of advice, and comes from me evaluating some of these new 'features' seen on tune-up utilities.. as well as experience with my own mistakes years ago. Since I am obviously biased, I do encourage you to try their mechanisms for yourself if you want.

I know something about software development and marketing -- but not much about business. I do know how the 'business type' operates though, and is why I intentionally try to avoid that mindset. What you're going to find is that most utilities are more interested in selling you something than actually doing anything for you. That's not always the case, and there are exceptions. Just beware, that's all.
