Contacted by Tweakbit Tech Support with updated toll-free number..

Original review Aug 14, 2020
Has Tweakbit gone out of business? After 2 to 3 years of exemplary service, I can no longer contact the 24/7 Technical Support Team. None of their telephone numbers, toll-free or otherwise, are being answered.

Follow up...... These thieves have done nothing.

They are a solid ripoff. Common cyber thieves.

Original review Dec 27, 2019
First, I don't normally write reviews but this den of thieves deserves to be called out. Paid my money for help securing Acer laptop drivers......what I got from the "TWEAKERS" was a ripoff of my money and a "SALES PITCH" for technical support at a price well over the price of my new, 2019 laptop with Windows 10...... Now Windows 10 is another review that I may need to write...... No......Tweakbit is a solid ripoff. They took my money and I got "ABSOLUTELY NOTHING". DAMN SCAMMERS.

Tweak Bit is clearly a SCAM!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Product purchased - Tweak Bit by PADDLE.NET (Owner); paid via debit card; immediately, upon browser payment received an error by PADDLE NET - error occurred! Error stated that it could not get me a license for my purchase and notice indicated I should receive license details within 30 minutes. Nothing has been received by Company. I sent approx. 3 emails to Company. Reply was my own email. Nothing more; nothing less.

I feel ripped off

Updated by user Jul 29, 2019

I've sent 4 emails to Tweakbit requesting the activation code. No response.

Original review Jul 28, 2019
First I ordered the basic Clean My Mac X. Then I got suckered into buying the more expensive version.

Paid $89 for it. Got a message that "within 15 minutes" I would receive an activation key.
Nothing.
16 minutes later, I wrote asking when I would get the key. No response.
It's now 12 hours later. No response, no key, no product.

Umm, do I feel I was misled and then ripped off? Yes indeed I do.

It is Sunday and the FCC is closed but they deserve a serious complaint. I don't appreciate being misled and ripped off.
Company gets 1 star in every category because they took my money and I never heard from them.

Dear Corinne, We would like to apologize for the negative experience you had. Sometimes, an email with the license key can fall into Spam tray and therefore, is not immediately noticed.

We have received your refund request and already initiated a refund process for the full amount of your purchase. Please allow 3 to 5 business days for the money to reach your account.

If you need any further assistance, please contact our support team at support@tweakbit.com and we’d be happy to help. TweakBit team

They make a hostage of your computer

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Purchased tweakbit and used for one year. I did not opt to renew. My computer fell victim to ransomware. I used malwarebytes to regain control of my computer. All information points to tweakbit as the source of the ransomware. The next year I received a notice from tweakbit stating that my subscription was getting ready to auto renew. I had terminated the contract and had not had their service for a year. I contacted the credit card company just in time to stop them. These people are a bit scary.

Hello, We are deeply sorry for any inconvenience or misunderstanding. The automatic renewal is included with every new license purchase, of which there is a notice during the checkout process, as well as information on our website - https://tweakbit.com/support/faq/.

You can disable it at any time during your subscription term or by following the instructions provided to you in the reminder email. We understand that with all those figures and important info on the order page things can be easy to miss. That is why we offer an unconditional 30-day money back guarantee, which applies to renewals as well.

We would be happy to resolve any issues related to our products, just contact our Customer Service at support@tweakbit.com. TweakBit team

Software did not perform

I installed the Tweakbit driver updater it ran and said it could update 6 drivers, I thought £24.76 not to high would give it a go. I paid through Paddle.com with a card. The amount was charged twice and when I entered the serial number it did not update one driver. I emailed Paddle.com you cannot get through by phone to advise they had charged me twice for the key and that software did not update one driver never mind six. I have asked tonight via email for full refund of monies paid for a useless product. They did not offer a free trial of software at download only option was to purchase a key to use it.

Twikbit is a scam

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
They sold a program for 100.00 reduced to 49.00. All this does is tell you that your computer is in danger and you need to spend additional monies to fix. They show you programs that have stopped running. (Very normal.) Check out utube on twikbit a scam.

Bait'n'Switch Tactics for an Unimpressive Product

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I requested help with their Driver program because it no longer recognized the license I paid for. After several attempts it continued to fail to confirm my subscription, so the customer service rep suggested another program they offered (PCSuite 10) which would do what I wanted and more. It was a high cost, but they said it came with 24/7 customer support, so I said I'd give it a try. Fast forward less than 30 days later and I'm not impressed. It doesn't even appear to manage the driver updates like I originally wanted. So I ask for a refund and suddenly what I paid for wasn't the software, but the 24/7 support and that's non-refundable! Total bait-n-switch company! I'd be happy with a prorated refund since it has been almost a month, but if they are saying that's unacceptable, then I'll let my credit card company take them on.
