Vend des rogues. Ne croyez pas la réponse du propriétaire du site à vos commentaires, leurs logiciels sont dangereux.
P.S. : Je ne changerais pas ma note, même si vous me répondez sur mon commentaire.

There are no real registry cleaners, nor are they needed:

Windows performance degradation is a result of multiple problems (Malware, too many startup items), not the registry.

Yet another bogus registry cleaner/scareware:

Winferno was founded in 2002. We are a Boston-based company with 20 employees. Our servers are located in Texas. Our downloads are not viruses, we are a legitimate company that is not stealing your identity. Winferno's mission is to create easy-to-use yet powerful software that cleans and optimizes your PC (Registry Power Cleaner) protects your privacy (PC Confidential), protects your identity (ID Confidential), and compresses your files (SnapZip). We have long-term partnerships with two major security companies, McAfee (ten years) and Symantec, the manufacturer of Norton Anti-virus products (four years). McAfee is the manufacturer of anti-virus software and sells our Winferno software in North America and abroad. We believe the quality of our products is validated by the fact that Winferno is the only 3rd party software offered by McAfee in their home user online store http://home.mcafee.com/store/

There must be some confusion as we have no bundling deals with Nokia or OVI apps. The only partners that we have bundled with are McAfee and Norton Anti-virus software.
rogue av, don't visit this site. They have not taken all necessary actions to protect identity and privacy

It doesn't sound fun to us either. Our Winferno software is legitimate.
Virustotal.com shows Winferno as a clean site. Here is the link:

This website is safe. I have been using their software for years and have never had a problem. CallingID also verifies that they are safe.

Which Winferno software title are you referring to as rogue software? Our software is legitimate software and is even resold by McAfee anti-virus company on their site. Please try our products at the following link:

When i tried registry power cleaner my system crashed for a while, especially when it scanned for shortcurs

Reply from winferno.com12 years ago
We are sorry to hear that your system crashed. What do you mean by a while? Whenever you install WInferno software we recommend that you purchase it from either Winferno.com directly or Mcafee.com site to assure that it is genuine latest Winferno software.
It does allow you to download mcafee but the anti-virus which they are currently promoting ' Registry Power Cleaner ' is considered a rogue by norton

We have had a four year partnership with Norton (Symantec) since 2007. The link above is an outdated Norton (Symantec) page. We will contact them to update their review.
August 17, 2012. Norton (Symantec) has checked Winferno Software and confirmed that it is not malicious or contain a virus. The link you posted has been removed from their website. Please reconsider ranking our site.
One out of 4 of their 'featured products' is Registry Power Cleaner,which some believe is a risk.

Bad website, distributes rogue software

The Winferno website has undergone a major refresh this year. Please take a look at it since it is a huge change since your 2009 comment. Why do you think that we are distributing rogue software?
Please feel free to try our latest scan/trial versions by clicking this link

I was hesitant for a moment to proceed to Winferno site due to WOT poor rating. Then I checked these reviews. And I see that not many of them are here and most of them are pretty old.
Anyway, I went on and purchased McAfee Virus Scan from them. I had no problems ordering and downloading immediately after placing the order. One week later I decided to upgrade to McAfee Total Protection product. I submitted a support email via Winferno support page and got the issue resolved the same day. Good luck!

Which Winferno title are you referring to as rogue av? We do not manufacture anti-virus software therefore your comment is somewhat confusing.

PC Confidential is not an anti-virus software. Here are its main features;
Deletes all traces of your Internet history for 6 different programs including: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Secure IE, Netscape, AOL and MSN Explorer.
Destroys all cyber tracks (cookies, cache, search history and more).
PC Confidential's powerful file shredding exceeds the Clear and Sanitize Matrix requirements of the Department of Defense standard, ensuring that shredded files CANNOT be recovered. You can choose between 4 levels of shredding security and you can also choose to shred all of the empty space on your hard drive(s).
You don't need to purchase it to uninstall the program. The program can be uninstalled in the same way other programs are uninstalled.
Here are the instructions:
Windows XP /Windows 2000 uninstall instructions:
Click Start at the left bottom of your screen to open your Start menu
Click Control Panel (If you do not see Control Panel, click on Settings first and then on Control Panel)
Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
