Glary Utilities Dangers

Well I received this for free from giveawayoftheday to test out and ran the fixes and then wouldn't you know it my darn netflix in IE9 no longer worked...I tried reloading vid drivers and the likes ...then I remembered running Glary Utilities and used the restore built in to get the registry back to what it was....lol.... CCleaner for the winner once again and Glary Utilities into the toilet!

 

CCleaner, Glary Utilities etc.


Some people claim that these programs will destroy your OS.

I've used CCleaner and Glary Utilities for years (on XP, W7 & W10).
The only issue I've ever had is with MS Project 2010.

If you are worried:

• Make sure that you use the backup options that these programs include
• Create a System Restore Point
• Create a system backup image

 

Glary Utilities Dangers

Glary Utilitities is what it it... just as any of the utilities in this category are.

Any of them can be dangerous to the user, if, the user does not pay attention to what they (the utilities) are doing.

I have used this utility and others and have learned to look carefully at the settings.
To, also, check what the utility is about to change.
If the utility does not not have the option to see or check the changes beforehand, the it is eliminated from my list of viable apps.

Some are touted as "One Click to Fix All Problems", IMO this is BS; as, the user must/should, in all cases, check/know...
1. Why
2. What
3. How
4. And, Can I reverse the operation(s) (either, through the app or manually)

As I heard somewhere, "knowing is half the battle" (yes, it came from the G.I.Joe movie, but it is no less true).

Some utilities that clean are configured to default for less aggression and seem to be good for your general crowd of users who know little or nothing of the OS (nor really care or want to); then some seem to be more aggressive and are more for the user with more OS knowledge and diligence of their use.

Ninety-nine percent of legitimate utilities, I have seen, come with a dis-claimer, either, in the notes, help file, and/or eula/license, that the utility can possibly cause your system to become un-stable or un-usable.

@ the OP > hope everything is working for you after the restore.*Smile
