An offer I couldn’t refuse

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

The fine folks who make The Ultimate Troubleshooter offered me a free copy of the software to try and use and to tell you all about. Being a sucker for free software, well, what could I say? I installed in last night so I haven’t used it nearly enough to get anything resembling a real impression, but I’m sure you’ll hear more about it in the coming days.

One thing I will say, if nothing else it’s a nice tool for getting immediate information to help identify startup programs, running tasks, and services, and the option to send them info on tasks or services that they don’t already have information on promises to only make that part of it better.

Now as to whether it lives up to it’s name or not, well I have my doubts. I’ve always believed that you need some human intuition to be the “ultimate” troubleshooter, but I’ll settle for a pretty good troubleshooter. 🙂

    Some of you, obviously, noticed that little “ignore this” post last night. Here’s some of what I’m thinking on ESBN‘s. I think there may be a place where this can be useful. I’ve seen folks complain about the fact that their full-post RSS feeds are repurposed on sites that exist only to serve Google Ads….

    Hi Mike – do you have friends at ATW ? After 4 emails to support and sales I have had no reply, not even to the last (desperate)request for a refund since they refuse to help me update after payment. I have also recommended this product and I am now regretting it.

  3. Sorry, it’s been awhile since I’ve had any contact with them, so all I could do is point you to the same contact info that’s on their site. In fact, the PC I had it installed on died and I haven’t felt the need to use it.
