I initially concerned that your Malware Detection option might confuse some people. It appears that it has. One user wrote:

"Pleeeeeeeeeeeeasssseeeeeeeeee!!!!! FIX MALWARE CLEANER.!!!
Iam very disgruntled with how useless your attempt to provide a module that doens't do what it states its functionality is..........

I have been trojaned about 3 tmes in the last 6 weeks and have also come accross spyware which your competitors such as Malware Bytes and also Spybot Search And Destroy detected but your malware cleaner missed!!!!"

Obviously he was expecting too much. Your tiny malware cleaner is "light duty" at best. It doesn't download big virus files and therefore can't come close to providing the extensive protection people get from other Malware-dedicated products.

I'm not suggesting that you "beef your's up". That is not where GS excels. I highly doubt that it would be worth your time and effort.

Rather, I suggest that you either eliminate this option (to prevent people from having unrealistic expectations) or rename it to something more accurate like "Cursory" or "Light weight" or even "Quick" malware scan.

This is all just a simple misunderstand between what you provide and what people think it represents. Personally, I think you'd be better off to just drop it because, again, this issue has been worked to death by other companies whose sole purpose is to combat Malware.

Why would you want to compete (poorly) in this one area, when GS has so many other fabulous features?

Please seriously consider taking the time in making the detections a lot more effective and also increased frequency in relation to updated databases I have always upgraded my pro version in the hope that there are better fixes which have overlooked. Your module is beyond a joke. I CAN'T REFER MY FRIENDS to use your software at this point of time!!!!

If anyone is set up like I am you will notice that the Glarysoft update check that runs at start of Windows if anyone has it set that way, will get a notice that the software was not able to connect to the server. I had to do some research to find out it was Glary doing it with its update check. The update check works later on without problem but at boot time, no. Something may be going on with the connection or the server that is leading to this message. No other software is set to stop Glary checking for its update.

In all Glary Utilities is excellent and rivals other paid for offerings. It has a few weaknesses and glitch here an there but overall a solid performer although CCleaner virtually always finds something even after Glary Utitlities has done its checks.

I suggest that the update check is delayed so as to avoid the congestion at the start of the boot process. My other suggestion is a game changer and I can't write about it here, but will happily write about by email.

A very worthwhile download.

I used to be a computer repair tech a while back ,and there wasn't too much that i couldn't fix or figure out.,except for one big pain in the butt , the firewall and services settings,i have looked over and over through the net to try and find a solid setup for the firewall settings and found nothing that really helped me ,most companys have taken a shot at it and causing more problems then good, this is tech stuff that needs to be made simple for the average person. this may sound like a lot of work but it would make things so simple .if you could have
different settings like a basic safe setup , a more secure setup without media player , file sharing ,homegroup ,remote connections etc.
and then a adjustable setting where theres a list of other unescesary
programs .and maybe add certificate and boost up the security rules like instead of connect , bring certain problem programs like media player and apps etc up to connect if secure .it takes me forever to set the rules up . and finally a bullet proof setting where nothing gets through without the user permission and a little pop up message saying its ok to do this or its not ok..just in case its a fake program you accidently downloaded...also its a pain to try and find the program that wont let something through and cant connect .maybe all changes can be made in green if its cool and red if its the one blocking the program..i think you would make a killing off this idea ..because the firewall is the root of all problems ..i have watched how hackers get in ..its usually through the media player ports and the remote connection file sharing and home group they take over your user first and create a fake folder that looks like your recycle bin or download C;/ drive and then your search finally getting into the registry and game over.. maybe even an alert flashing red screen when someones messing around your system..and show the log file or something..

secondly is the the other pain ,,the services ... ive seen the whole program services changed to trusted installer or interactive .even a name that looks quite similar to the original groups.. also these services get turned off and on when someones trying to take over..windows time , plug and play , human interface devices , the sound and video , from them watching and recording what you are doing .most are sneaky now they dont want to be detected..but theres little things i notice that others would completely miss even your browsers get hijacked very easy ,and without a wire shark to notice suddenly theres 50 connections on exporer , and system cpu is at 100% everything locks crashes etc your registry is a huge mess. all from these quiet leaches on your connection...there are programs that should be on that arnt now and some that shouldn't be on .. im thinking a security lock on the services panel where only a certified licence certicate Microsoft tech and the owner has access to once everything is set properly so not just any winnit login or keylogger can get in...apparently now someone has come out with a remote access radio frequency gadget that can pick up a signal on your radio station ,t,v. stereo .garage door opener ..etc..to access your wireless
connection on your home computer..its getting ridiculous to the point where you dont know if someones even listening or watching you through your video cam. which a few of my female friends have told me and now they are outside your house after they get your info..with a blue tooth device..Microsoft doesn't realize the easier they make things to sync the more problems they create.like the win 8 apps phone call scams...which is already happening as well blue tooth on the computer should be secured and locked there should be a lock for every program ..if you go in the device manager and turn on view hidden services , we had like 10 blue tooth programs going ..and i dont even use Bluetooth ..they kept reinstalling them ,,and even had the nerve to set up theyre sony smart t.v on display devices ..next thing i know i have theyre cell and t,v in my router settings..and im locked out.
..i was so mad i looked for a virus to give them..so
please create a secured locking

1.device manager
2.services
3.firewall
4. administrater tools
5.default devices
6.windows search
7.desktop
8.indexing .file folders
9.remote access
10.and even the bios
11. database persistant
12.registry.
13.browsers

i hope i didn't miss any but .those are all so vulnerable its dumb..i actually formatted my system but certain programs were saved in the
bios that i didnt know of..like a $ recycle bin and i had the same problems all over again...its very frustrating...and these malware and virus programs dont even help ..the Trojans now can take over your virus programs or any program easily.so i dont even bother with them..
and ive had less problems its almost like a challenge for them.

so my opinion for the firewall is the bitdefender internet security was fairly simple and always notified you of change ..i rate them number 1.but with a few extras i mentioned it could be solid.

malware i liked the superantispyware its simple again but easy to hack into unless they fixed it ,keylogging and spyware is the number one problems to defend against .privacy is huge in browsers and no companys will even go there on that topic..because now a hijacker can see where you spend your time ,,and then set you up with a fake malware download. ..

maybe a hook detector in your browser i also like the noscript program that doent allow java to run freely ..scripts and hooks are a huge problem ..and then java with exploits..another thing to look into

i dont know maybe your own type of registry code that detects odd behavior aand sends a surge of power through to the hacker .and shorst out theyre connection ..when they keep having to buy a new board ..maybe they might think twice..somethings got to detour them i dont care if it is not right .. its worse what the hackers are doing maybe even stalk or kill someone...

any questions on how to make things work just reply back...i would really be impressed if someone stepped it up a notch instead of the same old useless programs..then no one would need a repair for every little problem..

also maybe check out win 7 manager ..not win 8 manager ..they have a lot of optimizers ..that actually work..and a lock on the services too.but it was easily hacked...possibly by Microsoft ....these companys that make the circuitry are also now making a deal with Microsoft to create a data base on your system and play with the settings .i dont like that at all ..because i have to keep changing back what they they messed with ...amd ..nvidia gforce ..radeon ati .asus
etc have catalyst crap and a proxy hidden in the program database on your computer .if they are in a bad mood they mess with everything..i had a guy from NVidia i didn't know was actually makin my display and computer awesome . but i thought it was a hacker and turned on the family setting for 1 hour a week .he was pissed and my computer was crap afterwards aand a lot of the programs were deleted...i wish they tell you..

i have tons of data for making problems go away..

thanx..

First, I love glary utilties pro.

I have been using it for almost 10 years.

This page is strange, because I have been thinking about sending your company an email about an idea to add to your pro package.

A lot of people have trouble with windows system restore working. I did for a long time and tried several of the apps that are supposed to do the work of windows system restore. I never completely mastered any of their complex functions. And, they cost extra.

I use a defagger that told me that "Volume shadow copy" was not working on my machine.

So, I read a microsoft programmer's note on their forum about how to fix "Volume shadow copy" and window's 7 pro "system restore" has worked for me ever since.

He said the volume shadow's default on window's 7 was not put on "automatic." And the answer was to put it on automatic

--------

Hi,

Are you referring to Volume shadow copy?

If yes, do this:

a. Click “Start”, type "services.msc" (without quotation marks) in the Search bar and press Enter.

Note: If UAC (User Account Control) window is prompted for permission to continue, please click “Continue”.

b. Double click “Volume Shadow Copy Service” and switch to “General” tab.

c. Change the “Startup type” to “Automatic” and click “Apply”.

d. Click “Start” and click “OK”.

-----------

So, if glary utilities pro had a button to put "Volume Shadow Copy Service" on automatic, this would be a great added feature, if this fix works for others.

Also, it would be great to have a way to know your microsoft activation code, since a lot of people are buying machine's that are programmed with windows but give no installation disk, and thus no activation code.

I have tried all the software packages that I could find online that would tell me what my activation codes are, but the microsoft activation code they give me are not the true activation codes.

It would be good to know what all my paid software activation codes are for reformatting which is inevitable with all that can to wrong with computers.

I truly wish you luck with your future plans.

Thank you, Richard

I think that Glary Utilities would be much easier to use if the layout of the menu was a bit larger. It would also be advantageous if a question mark could be selected & put over the desired utility to give the user info on that particular utility.
Otherwise I think that Grary's utilities is an awesome product.

While writing this I see to the right the "Knowledge Base". Maybe an icon could be placed on the front of Glary Utilities. That way a novice user like myself could begin with a knowledge & understanding of the product & all of it's benefits before jumping into it & not utilizing Glary Utilities to it's full potential! Thank you for a great product.
