Ascentive is a complete ripoff the programs does not work and they will not give me a refund
I ordered ascentive software to help improve my speed on my computer. it turned out it made it worse. i was then offered other programs but none of them worked and they would not refund my money.i only used the program for twelve days and i t was not what they said it was this company needs to be turned in to the better business bureau because they are selling products that donot work. i ordered the pc scan and sweep software on feb.18th 2009 with a free ten day trial and during the whole time i was having problems and was not satified but they continued to let me try other software but none worked.

Ascentive software's popup ads
My computer was running slow. I was unable to listen to my favorite audio stream. I was told that I needed to clean the register. I found Asentive's website in a search and I purchased Ascentive's register cleaner it failed to correct the problem. I has previously downloaded Microsoft's junk file remover. I constantly get popup's from Ascentive saying that I have 5411 junk files that need to be removed. These are just ads from Ascentive. The aforementioned number continues to show up, even though I got the Microsoft junk file remover to work. I'm looking for a way to turn off their annoying popup ads

Took my cash, sold some BS! Ruined my computer,won't let me cancel. Have my personal info!
I am very upset with this company. Every thing you click to get help is a loop. I WAS SO ***, in not doing any research on the product before they have my personal info includeing credit card # with pending charges they KEEP ADDING I DID NOT ORDER!! I put this on my computer it ruined it and it made my computer more screwed up than it already was in the first place. I am very concerned that they will keep charging me and I can't even sue! This is a SCAM! DO NOT BUY FROM THEM AT ALL!! BEWARE BUYERS!

I think we should get together to file a class action suit against them!!!!!
I've been trying to get my $47.95 back for a week! I told them I want my money back or I am contacting the Attorney General! They seemed to be assisting me at first, but aren't! They say they can't find my order. Now I would like to know if anyone would like to stand with me to go after them! Anyone game? I am going to let everyone I know, about Ascentives bogus ways! Are you with me? We probably won't get our money back, but maybe we can stop them from doing this to others!!!!!!! :o)

Virus aparently accompanied download
after downloading ascent programs, my computer would not work properly. I had to take it to a shop and they charged me $45.00 to remove ascent programs and they said that my computer had developed a virus. A real ripoff. I hope that they don't charge my credit card anymore and that they clean up their act before the class action suit gains momentum. I was a fool to give them my credit card number and to believe their propaganda that they could speed up my computer. I hope others read the reviews and don't fall victim to their stuff. Regards, Jack

FINALLY FAST *** DO NOT USE WARNING!!!
Finally fast proclaims to help speed up your machine this software actually writes a loop file into your system that will make your system have a popup everytime you load it or if you decide to shitcan the software it writes itself and then initiates. I removed this by restoring the system to a state before the software was initiated or installed. I also had to do a complete maintainance on the machine to clear it of the *** that this software put on when it installed.. It contains 2 trojans I know of which are easy to get rid of and 2 unknown ones that I found out about from a friend that said they originated in China. The 2 chinease ones were deleted by my virus program. I used a system mechanic software to help remove the clutter this left behind and restored the system to better then before proformance without all the hassle and *** this company is pushing.. Geez I guess it comes down to money being at the heart of it all.

THEY SOLD ME SOME ***!!!
These people don't answer mail and their phone is always busy. I know I'm computer ignorant, but my kids aren't!! How do I get a refund or get the program to work? I'm getting more spam now than I was before using their products and my computer is slower than ever! Can anyone spell or explain class action lawsuits or where is the consumer fraud division? I smell rat and have a suspicion that I and a lot of others have been had, mislead and bamboozeled. Who gave Ascentive all these accolades any *** way, and are they on the up and up?

Finallyfast software ***!!!
I just paid 29.95 for the first step of Finallyfast software and now they want another 29.95 for the second step.Didn't they offer it for free?! Every time I turn my comp on I see the same offer of the second step again and again.Also they notify me that my comp is error free, but few seconds later an error pops up on the screen. Please don't spend your money and time on it, and don't make the same mistake I did! Now I really pissed off and I want my money back!!!

Faulty products & invalid charges
I sure am pissed. 1) I contracted to pay $29 & a bit; instead, I have been charged $47 for each of the two following orders: Order Reference Number 186064**** & " " " 186061**** 2) When I downloaded each item, my computer 'froze'. I could not install the products; fortunately some off-line programs worked and I was able to delete the products by using the control panel and 'add or remove programs'. 3) So, these Ascentive products are of no use to me and I wish you to refund all of my money as soon as possible. WhAT a ahame - I'm sure they would have been great if I could have gotten them to work. Looking forward to the refunds: With thanks T M Loftus

Ascentive software / FinallyFast.com contains a major virus
Be careful to stay away from this company and their software and tell your friends about the FinallyFast.com TV ad. The software when installed attempts to install a virus and my anti-virus software Avast caught it before it took over my machine. I had done this once and made the mistake, having to clean up my system as a result of the virus raising havoc on my machine. I had forgotten the name of the company and the ad. It is easy to get roped into any kind of software that might help do a clean up and improve the performance on your system. Whatever you do stay away from this product. It contains a bad virus and will make things difficult to use and get rid of and to clean up unless you have the experience like i do, 35+ years. I wish i could sue this company for selling a product and knowing so, with a virus in it. Stay away from any Ascentive Software product or http://finallyfast.com. Respectfully, randy

No support
I want support and I get nothing these people talk the talk but let you down with no support, how come they don't have a number to call? I have tried to get help and have heard nothing I bought 5 products from them and this is the way you get treated, makes you mad as ***. I havn't had any time to check out the speed of my system, It tells you that you are faster but are you any faster? I don't think so not for the price they get for the software, it looks like a rip to me.

Ascentive Software
This product doesn't work! They took my money and now won't answer me. Beware! The phone number I saw earlier is now removed from their website. No matter, it was constantly busy anyway. Probably with complainers. I saw their ad on TV for a few short days so I thought they were legitimate... Guess not. I've sent them several emails of which I've recieved no reply whatsoever. Ibought the first product for $29.95, and when it didn't work they recommended the "internet Optimizer". I then bought that for $59.95 hoping it would help. It didn't. They also charged me $4.95 for some sort of "back-up guarantee" that would enable me to redownload the product if I lost it. Major alarms should've went off in my head for that one, but being the trusting person that I am I went for it. Don't be suckered by these guys, I was.

hmmmmmmmm lets see. You paid for a software that Microsoft offers for free. On top of that you can find so many freeware and open source programs to do the same FOR FREE!
Most of them don't work when you surf ***, have a huge primary partition, have a million files saved to your desktop, on and on and on.
What you need to do is open a web browser. You have one open if you are reading this. In the address bar type www.google.com You want to make your PC faster? Buy a new one. Then learn how much HDD space you need for your OS. Shrink it. Then create a new partition and save your files there. Install your 100 games there. Install your sys progs to your primary part BUT NOTHING ELSE.
