== Scam Web Sites Offering Diagnostics ===== Advanced PC Tweaker ===*Web Site URL: <nowiki>http://www.registrygenius.com</nowiki>*Date Added (MM/YYYY): 11/2012Registry Genius, registrygenius.com is a web site that pretends to have useful information on executables, processes, and software.  The web site urges users to click a link to a "Free Errors Scan" which will promptly download and install AdvancedPCTweaker_Setup.exe on the computer.  registrygenius.com is not the only web site frontend for AdvancedPCTweaker_Setup.exe, all of which are tied into clickbank.net, an advertising and tracking system.Recommendation: Do NOT download and install the AdvancedPCTweaker_Setup.exe.  Product is a scam.  If you are a network administrator, block registrygenius.com in your network firewall.  == Web Sites That are Likely Legitimate ==This is a short list of web sites submitted that turned out to either be legitimate, or there was no evidence to support any indication that the web site is harmful or a scam.  These may be useful web sites or simply benign.  These web sites are probably safe to use, however, we offer no guarantees.  * http://www.virscan.org/ - appears completely safe and legitimate.
