9/15/2014 10:40:20 AM PC Matic truly is more than I expected. Why did you do all the stupid commercials. Once your founder started doing the commercials, I started listening. He is very informative. Keep his in front of the public. Most of us are more intelligent than most commercials give us credit. Like your product, easy to install even by a fairly computer illiterate person like me. Nice to be able to tell all the clowns that call and say my computer is in danger to talk to someone else and leave me alone. Thanks

8/18/2013 10:32:35 PM The computer has a problem when I play all videos and live streaming. It is constanly buffering and freezing. When we change the live stream and videos from best to 240 or 340,it will play well for a few moments and automaticaly return back to "BEST" and the situation starts over again. My aol.account was hacked.

8/7/2013 1:12:16 PM All in all my computer is excellent. However, from time to time I download something my computer says is essential, and it is a gimmick to make me download it. Then come the problems. Then I call iYogi.
