We don’t force anybody to buy it, we offer the free information, but also the alternative. I know the internet is full of free solutions, so we simply offer an alternative, nothing more. The company is 100% certified and even patented and their scan is actually for real. There’s always the money back option. Anyway, we came up with this partnership because we had so many readers saying that many fixes didn’t work, so we’ve decided to offer something else. In the end, it’s your choice, not ours. We simply try to make a living and also be able to pay the writers. Thanks!

i just installed the windows 10 actualization, the first error that i had was that the HD was working at 100% and didnt allowed to work was completely freezed and i made the selective boot, then i rebooted the lap and it had that issue runtime error and i cannot do nothing, what can i do?
I have a query, after i have disabled everything (second steps), how will that affect my device? Cause i’m thinking disabling all those files/documents/whatever you would like to call them must have some side-effect. so what will happen? don’t i need to install them enable them again?
i just did that too and don’t know what to do now either lol. did you resolve this as it was 2 months ago? i’m thinking i now have to find the drivers for my video card since i uninstalled them according to the directions here… but how am i seeing this page without my video card drivers? lol
