PCMatic.com and MyCleanPC.com Truth Test
I am going to finally take one of my test PCs, load it up with viruses and other malware and Windows problems and buy PCMatic and MyCleanPC services to see what they really do. My clients have told me they’re nothing but scams, but I want to prove it to myself once and for all. They certainly have marketing dollars, because I see their commercials all the time. Look for a complete write-up in the near future. -Joe
