More importantly we feel that Reimage Repair falls more on the scamware side based on the tactics it uses to try to get a user to purchase the software. In some versions the software will 'repair' a few issues but will require payment to fix all issues. Reimage Repair then redirects the user to a web page where they must buy the software in order to make any fixes.
The user is then tricked into pressing the 'Fix' button to correct any of these problems. However, even though most of these errors are compeletly benight to the performance or stability of the computer, Reimage Repair reports them as critical. These problem it detects ranging from registry errors such as 'corrupt' registry entries to temp files. Upon completion, the scan will report hundreds of known errors and problems that should be fixed immediately in order to prevent the computer from crashing or running slow. Once it is installed, it will quickly start running in the foreground and perform a scan of the user's computer. The scam works by the user unintentionally installing Reimage Repair on their computer, usually through a bundled installation or download managers.
