"Failed to deliver product."

1 stars  | on by Becketsaunders

Pros

No Pros, do not reccomend any business with IOLO. They owe me Money and will not refund.

Cons

Used version 6 several years. Ordered DIRECT from email solicitation. After approx 45 days and one promise from customer 'non-service', I have no CD and no refund. Today I filed complaint with Texas Attorney Genral's Office.

Summary

$40 gone, trial download failed, and they seem not care about their CUSTOMER. It would seem they also have no concern for their reputation. My system runs better without the software.

"Need an internet connection at all times"

Pros

Good product for overall health watching of your PC or laptop. Does not appear to provide a heavy CPU load on the laptop as some other programs do.

Cons

You need an internet connection at ALL times just to get the program to load. When this was reported to Iolo support, I was pointed to their knowledge base which did confirm that requirement; this is true for the anti-virus and firewall just to load.

I believe the diagnostics have great potential for keeping your PC healthy. I enjoyed the auto-check performed in off-hours and find their utilities to rank up there with the best that I've tried in the past. Both the anti-virus and firewall functioned the way they are suppose to. The only downside to this product is that you need an internet connection at all times or your machine will be unprotected. So, if you are using your machine off-line for work, the Iolo package will not load at boot-up. I found this unacceptable. I did not see this need upfront on minimum requirements and was sent to their knowledge base for that answer when I sent a query on the non-load to their Tech Support. Sad to say, this one fault prevents me from ever recommending this product to those I know or even renewing future subscriptions.
