Totally legit.

Didn't you see they're Gold Certified developers?

This sort of stuff does tend to work at least slightly and to start with. Windows is a dire shitstorm of mess inside from WinSxS to the whole registry mess which everything hooks into and it crawls to a halt. Everything from shell extensions to screwed up COM registrations slowly shaft the entire platform. Most professionals know not to fight the battle and just reinstall the damn thing. I spent enough years fighting it.

Unfortunately the usual story is that the company sells a legit cleaner product onto the market, finds they can't compete with the 2 million other products out there doing exactly the same thing, find they have several pissed off VCs on their ass and proceed to ship malware and toolbars with it to break even. Then it joins the slurry of PC fix utilities that people install ten different copies of after googling it and then bring it to me because it's even worse.

Genuinely these things start with good intentions but ignorance of the whole state of affairs.

Of all the similar 'products', this would be the last one I'd click on... (of none!)
All the buttons and links go to an anonymous redirection domain... the potential for disaster is a bit bigger!

I was disappointed to see Nero pushing their computer fixer-upper software. I just recently upgraded and while I knew they had gone crazy with adding crap features, this was unexpected.

All those tools are snake oil. If you want to speed up an old PC install Linux or OpenBSD.

Sneezing bogies all over your screen would be more effective than these things. At least that would make you clean your screen (unless you are a vulgar slob).
