FinallyFast.com - The website FinallyFast.com advertises a free download of a Windows registry cleaner to speed up your computer, but doesn’t tell you it’s $29.95 to actually remove anything.
What FinallyFast.com is selling - a Windows registry cleaner - you can get for free in a product called Spybot Search & Destroy and you can dramatically speed up your computer by removing the adware and spyware that SpyBot finds.
Take a closer look at what the FinallyFast website is really offering: You have a problem with your computer running really slow, they offer a seemingly free solution. Once you see the list of junk files clogging up your registry file, you think you have a huge problem and purchase Finally Fast.
Basically, the FinallyFast.com website is just a finely tuned system of getting you to pay for something you could get for free. They wouldn’t be spending big bucks advertising on ESPN if the FinallyFast website wasn’t making a killing.
Here’s how you speed up your PC in three simple steps.
- Open Windows control panel and remove any unwanted programs
- Remove as many icons and folders as possible from your desktop
- Download the free SpyBot Search & Destroy program and clean your PC
And that’s how you achieve even better results than you get with FinallyFast. Plus, it doesn’t cost you a dime.
And that’s the latest news on FinallyFast.com.

safe surfing if important as well. if a window pops up that you did not action to open, do not click any where in that window….not even to close the window. you can find the open window on the task bar, right click and close window or hit alt-f4

need faster internet. mine is very slow. i have dial-up.
May 15th, 2008 at 10:50 pm
downloaded the free finallyfast scan. found out to remove problems we had to register and pay. Instead I decided to remove the installed software. went to the contol panel to remove the program and I sorted the programs by date last acccessed. for some reason my turbo tax 2007 was last accessed today at the same time I ran the finallyfast scan. the last time I accessed it was in Feb 08. not march 15 08. anyone know what happened?
May 16th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
I’m sure I see what you guy’s see but, I just want to be sure it’s safe for my PC, Free, and does it actually work?
Can anyone offer any pos or neg comments or both it sure would be appreciated. Thanks!

I HOPE THIS WORK

Its a scam…dont download finally fast
Spyware companies are now advertising on TV and duping millions into downloading their crap…sad sad day
May 18th, 2008 at 11:25 pm
I was skeptical of FinallyFast.com’s ads on TV, and for good reason.
Their big claim of being “mentioned” in Newsweek, Wall Street Journal and Forbes turns out to be in articles describing Ascending’s (the co. that makes FinallyFast) other product - BeAware. This is a program that lets companies spy on their employee’s IM activities and has nothing to do with PC performance.
The FinallyFast web site is extremely slow to load - are they intentionally making it that way to make people believe their PC’s are slow or does their web host need to start running their program.
I agree with all those recommending the free Spybot Search and Destroy program - there is no need to pay for this kind of software.
May 18th, 2008 at 11:26 pm
You are right Ryan it is a scam…dont download finally fast because they want you to do that and scan and get you to purchase it
May 24th, 2008 at 4:40 am
It’s very similar to Driver Detective. It’s a scam. Don’t be fooled.
May 24th, 2008 at 10:11 am
Spybot is free. there are programs using it’s name to fake users into thinking it is spybot. it finds false issues and makes you pay to remove the installed by the fake program issue.
Spybot Search and destroy is free and 100% reliable.
Safer-networking.org (old site was http://www.security.kolla.de)
Ad-Aware is also a good partner product.
http://www.lavasoft.de (also free) and they work well together.
Both programs have no issue with working with an installed anti-virus program and Quarantine them. This allows you to restore the files in place if you discover you want/need the file for another program to work.
I have used them on over 200 computers without issue.
windows 98/2000/xp. Check the site for vista.

All you guys who fall for this product must be pretty stupid, all this is, is a virus to stop all your viruses and bugs for a while to make your computer look like it’s running fast, whats going to happen after your done using it, your computer will slow back down again.
I watched this lame advertisement and all i noticed was one thing, everyone in the commercial were using Windows, that explains why your computers suck and are slow.
June 10th, 2008 at 4:34 am
this is more than great my pc seems as good as new
June 21st, 2008 at 5:59 pm
Well, Fred on May 12th was right…
this is NOT FREE at
http://www.safer-networking.com
cause I just tried it…after it scans & finds the problem it costs $19.95 to FIX it…that’s not free.
June 21st, 2008 at 8:52 pm
That’s because the REAL version of Spybot S&D is at:
http://www.safer-networking.org/
NOTE: the TLD for the real version is .org, not .com
The other site is just a ripoff…
June 25th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
i think all this is bullshit and if anyone screws me there gonna have someone kicking down there door. Thats a promise. PPEEAACCEE OOUUTT………
June 25th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
my computer is really slow and keeps kicken me off the web. Does anyone know was up wit dat, or have a way 2 make it any quicker….. DREW out…
July 4th, 2008 at 3:48 am
Get AVG, too. Spybot IS free! What’s everyone talking about. I’ve been using it for years. Here is AVG’s link:
http://free.avg.com/ww.download-avg-anti-virus-free-edition
And don’t get the dam paid edition and come back posting “it’s not free it’s not free.”
July 20th, 2008 at 9:46 am
Spybot Search @ Destroy is so neat….and it’s free. I’ve been using it for years along with Spyware3 Doctor. Once a month I go and check my files registry and discard anything that I don’t need or want. Save your money and don’t fall for a scam like “Finally Fast.”
July 20th, 2008 at 9:49 am
Sorry for the mistake. I meant Spyware Doctor (without the 3). Now if only a program could teach me how to type. Take care everyone!

Um… did you happen to notice that most of the computers featured in the ad were actually MACs? A bit ironic, considering the product is apparently “for PC computers only”.
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:42 am
the poster above that claimed(blanket statement) that windows makes a pc slower is a noob….windows os doesn’t necssarily slow down one’s pc..of course iit’s possible but not true in everybody’s case. i’ve been an avid pc user since 1998/.
i’m very pc savy.windows is microsoft and microsoft sucks,but windows isn’t always the pc’s problem.
even though there’s plenty of finatical windows haters who apply every pc problem to windows…again..a blanket statement/.
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:48 am
and btw,finallyfast??? please don’t download,buy it or even try it…i;d be skeptical of any product that sells the user a program that does the same thing that a ton of free legitimate downloadable programs will do…
1.adaware at lavasoft.com
2.spybot s&d
3.comodo software at comodo.com
also check the download site,softpedia.com
their advertised stuff is legit as they test it all themselves first(for spyware,adware,viruses and general working conditions of the softwares or programs).
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:50 am
and YES, AVG (anti-virus) at grisom.com DOES have a FREE virgin!
July 22nd, 2008 at 8:35 am
I never download any programs like this. It all invariably costs money or is additional spyware. PC users should always use firefox. Users should have up to date antivirus software. People should diligently update their operating system via microsoft’s update page. Turn on the built in firewall through the control panel. Finally use anti-spyware. Microsoft has a free one called windows defender. If one does those things then they’ll never have any problems.
July 26th, 2008 at 7:39 pm
i am a certified pc support specialist and i ran the finallyfast program on my laptop just for its and giggles. it is nothing but a adware, trojan, spam backed bunch of $hit.
August 2nd, 2008 at 5:15 pm

August 6th, 2008 at 4:37 pm
finallyfast.com is tha real deal…remember people lie to get money no mattter wat..if u want u should get finally fast.com it really works and to top it off it even give u free adwares and virus renaming and coying all ur files to make u think those files are suppose to be there..so get it cause it works..it got me adwares towork with..hunting it down to the last ones hiding in the registry key changing and renaming itself everytime i found it..scary huh..finallyfuckallsoftwaretester.com haha..DO nOT get it!
August 8th, 2008 at 6:33 pm
AVG is a terrible anti-virus. It uses way to many resources and takes way to long to scan. I like to use PC Tools Antivirus. Also, Spybot Search and Destroy is the shit.
August 15th, 2008 at 11:42 pm
One of my PC customers used finallyfast.com free service, installed the program and ran it, found out you have to pay, so he then removed it. Now his PC can’t get online and his mouse doesn’t work. I had set his PC up with spybot and avg and told him not to trust crap like finallyfast, but did he listen? He said, “It was on TV so I thought it would be okay”…. So thanks finallyfast, I just made a quick $100 from one of your suckers..
August 16th, 2008 at 11:07 pm
Speaking of virus. Initial scan of the setup file with Avast! came up clean but as soon as I started installing the program Bam! it says the exe file being installed is a trojan virus. I immediately uninstalled both PC Scan Pro and Performance Center, which I had to do from the add/remove programs as it doesn’t include an uninstaller in the start menu. Running a full virus scan now. Hopefully everything comes up clean and it wasn’t a false positive. I feel sorry for this company as the paid advertising on tv to get a lot of customers now opens them up to a nice lawsuit for fraud, etc.
