I had a look at the finallyfast.com web site several weeks ago, after
seeing their TV commercial, the one with the guy whose hair is blowing
straight back. The whole deal reeks of a scam. One of the prime reasons
is the web site (or the commercial) *do not* mention the price anywhere
I could find.

In part, it says:

"ActiveSpeed can make your Internet connection run up to 375% faster."

Yeah, right. What is 375% of a 56Kb dialup? I also send their download
file to Jotti, and some of the tests listed it as a trojan. That could
be because it is an 'installer' but who knows?

It is sad that all of those products are necessary to keep your Windows
PC relatively free of malignant tumors - and that's only for the more
aware users. The rest live in a sewer. A couple of years ago, I got
tired of all the hassles and simply dumped Microsoft Windows. Life is
much more relaxed now.
