Hi,
I also downloaded free uniblue to be confronted with a " buy me" option which i did.
The interface claims to be simple and easy to use (I'm no whizz kid)but completely confuddled me!
It was no better than my existing P.C.Tools Registery Mechanic but I have to admit that my PC seems to be running quicker.
One downside though...my system keeps crashing and if it wasn't for my laptop I would have no internet access at all!
I tried to uninstall uniblue but fragments are still hanging around and I want my money back...users beware !
As for Microsoft accreditation....I have no idea...just a bad experience and ?20.00 lighter in the pocket.

Uniblue Uniblue Speed Up My Computer 2009

Am using WinXP-3 HomeEd, IE8, on Pentium 4, Dell8250 2.40GHz, 512MbRAM, AT&
DSL. I downloaded Uniblue Speed Up My Computer 2009 for a free speed scan
thinking it was a free program, but it is not. I am reluctant to purchas
this product without more information. The site claims to be a Microsoft Gol
Certified Partner. I do not know what that means. What is Microsoft's positio
on this product? Can I expect a net improvement in my computer speed?

Some reasons for computer slowness
1. Computer has not been maintained
http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Maintenanc
2. Computer is infected with malware
http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malwar
3. Hard drive is too full. Remove unnecessary stuff, uninstall unuse
programs. Don't forget to back up
http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Backing_U
4. Flaky third-party software. Toolbars and add-ons are particular culprit
in this area. Uninstall toolbars (Google, Yahoo, ISP-branded, etc.) and loo
carefully at what add-ons are in use in your browser(s)
5. Computer has too many unnecessary programs/processes running in th
background. Manage your Startup
For XP - How to Troubleshoot By Using the Msconfig Utility in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=31056
The free Autoruns program is very useful for managing your Startup
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/default.msp
For Vista - Start Orb>Search box>type: msconfig and when it appears in th
Results box above, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator". Autorun
is also very useful in Vista
6. User is running a bloated/invasive antivirus program such as ones fro
Norton and McAfee. Replace with a better program. I recommend either NOD3
(commercial) or Avast (free). Avira is also good but the free version has a
unpleasant nag screen (Google for instructions as to how to disable this)
User may also be running more than one real-time antivirus/firewall/securit
program
7. User has installed new programs that are processor and/or memory
intensive (Photoshop, AutoCAD, Mathmatica or the like) and does not have th
necessary hardware power
8. Hard drive is failing and is in PIO Mode. This is very dramatically slo
(like being back in 1985). See Hans-Georg Michna's information here

DO NOT purchase it, uninstall it, then run Malwarebytes to remove any
leftovers, uniblue is a scam, as are most if not all of those "speed up your
PC" suites.

I Bought Uniblue Speed Up My PC on 6/4/2009. It did nothing useful at all. I
Requested a refund the day I bought it. There is allegedly a 30 money-back
guarantee. I RECEIVED NO RESPONSE TO MANY REQUESTS FOR A REFUND over the next
few months. This company is obviously not actually certified by Microsoft, as
they claim to be. My order number for the purchase is: 6101760. DO NOT BUY
FROM THIS COMPANY. THEY ARE NOTHING BUT A SCAM.
