3.4.0.11 Beta (May 23, 2013)
If you live in China, you won't be strange to these so-called PC performance boosters like Baidu PC Faster below:
360 safeguard, QQ manager and Kingsoft safeguard...
They all claim that they can do any good to your PC, calculate the boot time, forecast the weather, clean up the crap, update the hotfixes and more.
Everything seems neat and nice, but what pisses me off is that they aggressively occupy the common startup and services startup items on your system, popup ads or ad-like popups like hell, showing off how"wonderfully" they can "cherish" your PC.
IMHO, Baidu PC Faster is the same as the PC-care programs I've mentioned above, and it will popup all day long as well. It's not hard to tell if it will boost your PC or slow it down.
However, the Baidu PC Faster is released by Baidu Hongkong corporation and provides only English user interface, most likely is because the competition of pc-care in China is too tough, I mean, too fierce with no space for Baidu to participate.
What I wrote is to remind the users living outside China to be aware of these "PC Faster" programs.
0.1 Alpha 33 (Jan 28, 2013)
Light, fast file manager. Looks like Total Commander.
Due to lack of a quick button for Windows Desktop, I give it 4 stars.
4.1.6 (Jan 22, 2013)
I've tried to download it, but found it just a web installer bundled lots of crapware. The main Darkwave program seemed not functioning. Help file couldn't open, too.
3.26.1888 (Dec 22, 2012)
Does someone like Bruno70 review every software for Windows the same way? "Windows 3.22 is outdated, use Windows 7 or 8 instead"???
Is this guy a comedy actor or a joke teller, keeping posting the same old **** to entertain the whole forum?
Anyway, CCleaner is one of the must-have program all the time for me. 5 stars.
5.6 Beta (Jun 7, 2012)
Cool user interface and sound effects. Support NVidia Physx while encoding videos. Because it's a freeware, its setup package contains some ads, any way you can uncheck the boxes while installing this stuff. Four stars!
5.6 Beta (Jul 31, 2007 - 10:26 PM)
Canadian English is hard to understand. ^_^
I've updated my Firefox. I think its name should be changed to Firefix. ~~~~~~
