"Whilst trying to fix my computer in March, I read a “technical help article” by a supposed Microsoft VP which claimed that a program called SpeedyFixer would fix my problems.
I paid $90.63 for a lifetime license by PayPal through Click Bank and downloaded and installed the program. After running it, I could no longer access the Control Panel in Windows 10.
After I had finally completed reinstalling all software, I contacted SpeedyFixer and told them their software had not fixed my problem but had in fact damaged my computer, and I requested the refunded as per their stated policy.
A Noah Chen replied, claiming that they would provide a refund but wanted me to try some other things first. I told him I was not interested in trying it further and required a refund. He then tried to offer me additional programs for free, but after over 60 days, no refund has been forthcoming.
I tried to get CBA Card Services to reverse the payment but after 45 days they claimed there was nothing they could do and said to contact the seller or my local consumer affairs.
A Google search for “SpeedyFixer reviews” results in a number of sites with numerous negative reviews with many posters claiming it is a scam. It appears that no one has managed to ger a refund, and persons who signed for the trial version and tried to cancel still being charged for the full version.
One website states that SpeedyFixer’s website is hosted in the US but their real location is hidden, whilst McAfee Secure lists an address in Beijing.
You have been warned. Avoid SpeedyFixer and Blue Century Software like the plague.

"Downloaded the program and it did not work. It slowed my computer and messed up some critical files. I asked for a refund within 30 minutes of purchase and over the next seven day period, all I got from them was blowback. They would not refund the money and only said that they wanted to fix my issue. I ended up reporting them to FTC and to clickbank and paypal warning them not to do business with these guys. Do not waste your time or money. SpeedyFixer is anything but speedy and a fixer. "
"I used it for $5.99 cancelled it before 7 days and they charged me $65 anyway! It was not a good experience. CC Cleaner is much better!!
Buyer beware!!"
"I installed SpeedyFixer and found it was not what I thought it was. I contacted support an tried to enact their "cancel any time" policy only to find they won't do it...have responded to two of my requests with pleas not to cancel. I don't know whether their software is good or not but, based on their policy of dragging their feet until my account was charged, I have to give them 1 star...would like to make it zero.
So...BEWARE!! If you download you are most certainly going to pay for it."
"Recently the computer has just upgraded the latest Windows 10 system, resulting in a lot of drivers, dll problem, thanks to SpeedyFixer, not only helped me upgrade the latest driver, installing the latest system patches, dll problems is also fixed."
