This machine is the smallest of all the Power Plate area. If simplicity is one of the most important criteria is that the machine for you. Only a stop / start button, the button only once 30sec / 60 sec options, a button high and low intensity and REPEAT button. Easy. The frequency of 35 Hz, which means that you balance on the plateau 35 times per second.

Many people are saying that the program have viruses
It is accidental …?
You put the virus in your application?
We need you to give us more evidence of that act correctly.
Thank you

I predict there will, at some point, be legal problems for this scam outfit.

Tempo

You appear to have grasped a good command of the English Language since your last two posts. Me thinks that the real Tempo has not received his pay packet, as I predicted, and has resigned. The new Tempo is no doubt another clown from DD.

To compare DD with Microsoft in terms of legality, is to long a subject, too long to go into here. However, let’s just say that there is a big difference, the major ones being MS do not send viruses and does what it states on the tin.

Give up Tempo 2, the more you defend this product without any valid reasons just goes to show everyone the depth DD is going to.

So far I have no issues with DD specificly.
Yes, it recommended me to download a few drivers that wasent really nessesary or that was a mess to install, but the same drivers were offered on the 3 others I tested, which again, tells me that its not really DD´s “fault” but more than likely the manufactures of this driver that has issues or the combination of what drivers that I already have from 3rd parties. Also, with all 4 programs I was asked to install a Vista driver on one of my XP systems.

When it comes to the shopping experience at DD, I acknowledge that I personally wouldent do it like that and properly would offer upsell more clearly, but there is an option to “Edit” the shopping basket before final purchase.

To the respond if you can charge DD for the time you spend fixing your computer, then you would most likely be as successful as charging Microsoft or Symantec for cleaning up after their software. If I could do that I would be a very, very rich man today, but then again, I know that software development is a tricky business and “no size fit all” even though its claimed too.

But anyway, dont take my word for it regarding DD. Do try out the other software I have mention and judge for your self.

What a ridicules statement - Just because someone has put some hard work into something does not give them the right to declare it as something it is not and then proceed to rip people off. I have put a lot of hard work into fixing my computer after DD messed it up - can I charge $39.99 for that?

As I said - let’s hope you get your pay packet in full Tempo and not be another victim of DD.

“Tempo” is certainly taking an interest in defending this scam, isn’t he? Hey, Shill (Hurd), don’t take us for idiots.

Ok, you got me … Im not from the US so excuse my spelling.
But I do have a long experience with software development and sales and I have seen the same issues in every product. (no, Im not a programmer)
First of all, I DONT know Mike and I have met him or talk to him.
HOWEVER, I know the founders or people behind Driveragent, Malwarebytes and Uniblue and have tried their products AND I have tried DriverDetective as well.
I have not detected any spyware from this install at all … sorry.
Is it from the toolbar it wants you to install ?
Maybe it has been there, I cant say

What I can say for sure is that the product compared to the 3 others, are not bad at all.
In fact, the userinterface and help is pretty good compared to Malwarebytes and Driveragent. Compared to Uniblue, its about the same.
When it comes to the Hardware drivers it finds, all 4 finds almost the same amount of “updates” +/- 10%, The Driver versions they all try to update are 98% the same which must mean the get it from the same source or where they get it from.
They offer MoneyBack gurantee and they give the money back … maybe with some hassle which is pretty standard too.
LOTS of people missuse this option and get their updates / fixes or what ever and then complain to save the money. You would be supprised if you really knew how many that does that.
So relax people. No software is perfect and neither is your hardware.
Complain if you like, but dont throw words around like hoax or all these conspiracy theories.

Looking through it all I find no more “Scams” than on 95% of most other software.
Take Symantec, it will take you forever to purchase and you get offers of 20 upsells and if you want to uninstall it … good luck
AVG is hiding their free version as much as possible.
Go through any Digital River hosted purchase process and you will end up buying Backup CD´s, Extended download and much much more … and they host at least 50% of all software shopping basket.
Go to Dell and you will end up buying twice the stuff you went in there for.

Its all the same …. Test, valuate and read what you are buying before giving up your creditcard and DONT expect miracles because your machine was F… before you even started this.

Good luck
Sure, there is a few easier ones out there, but take my word for it, because of this crises, they will follow the same act as most software do today.
