Why women need ChicaPC-Shield for their computers?
Internet crime and security breaches are continually increasing. Anti-Virus programs and Firewalls are simply not enough to protect your computer from all possible threats. Malware, or malicious software, continues to infect even the most well-protected computers. ChicaPC-Shield developed with proven anti-malware technology powered by Malwarebytes and designed it completely accessible by employing simple language and a no-nonsense approach with a womens needs and work flow in mind.

Limitations: At this time if a user has pre-installed Malwarebytes full version and is actively running, they have to disable active protection on their Malwabytes in order to run ChicaPC-Shields full version, active at the same time.

It appears to a licensed re branded version of Malwarebytes marketed to women. The GUI has been changed a bit. Attached Image: chicapcshield.png

Please tell me the other program they offer is NOT something Malwarebytes developed? Chica pc-fix.

This is another registry scan... Wait Scam to tell you have 2000 plus REGISTRY errors and then have to pay to fix?

Marcin - Is this part of the private branding that was in the works?


ChicaLogic is about empowering women globally in the Information Age.
If yesterdays woman mastered the art of juggling family, friends, and career, then todays woman has mastered the art of synergistic integration of all that and more. Multitasking is no longer a trendy buzzword; its a way of life. And women are the vanguards of the movement thanks to their computers, the Internet, and all manner of digital media.

But a womans computer is more than a digitized day planner from which she runs her life, organizes her business, and manages her home. A womans computer is her beacon in a global economy. Its where she negotiates multimillion-dollar deals over morning espresso while shes still in her PJs; its how she stays connected to friends and family, whether they are down the street or Down Under; and its what she relies on every day to keep her grounded and inspired, informed and educated, engaged and entertained. So the last thing any woman wants or needs is to spend valuable time deciphering which computer hardware and/or software programs are best suited to her lifestyle.

And thats where ChicaLogic comes in.

ChicaLogic is an online resource that provides a comprehensive user experience designed by women for women who want access to technological solutions fast. No more searching the Internet for the proverbial needle in the haystack; no more complicated techie talk that requires its own dictionary.

ChicaLogics product solutions are intuitively created and designed with a womans needs and workflow in mind. No hassles, no guesswork; just straightforward and to the point.

ChicaLogic is proud of its international team of smart, savvy, and sophisticated women whose interests and backgrounds are as varied as the women they seek to serve: You!

Thanks for the link Marcin.

So is it almost Malwarebytes but a little different and aimed at women? And includes an AV or should an AV still be used? Just a little confused based on what the article says.

Personally I think this is very bad news indeed, as in my opinion Chicalogic are a very untrustworthy company, and not one that Malwarebytes would want to be associated with an any way.

My reasons for stating the above are as follows:

Chicalogic sell a registry cleaner call Chica-PCfix, it is the same as SLOW-PCfighter which is published by SPAMfighter, but of course with a different name and different graphics. I believe that Chicalogic is actually part of SPAMfighter. The issue I have with Chica-PCfix is sadly, as is the case for many registry cleaners - highly misleading claims are used to sell it. For example "Clean out the clutter causing your PC to be slow. Get your PC running like new again within 1-click!" Which of course sounds good - but however the reality is very different. Many windows experts say that registry cleaners are useless and that cleaning the registry is a complete waste of time. Based on my own personal experience with registry cleaners, I can say that only in very rare cases cleaning the registry can lead to increased performance, or can fix errors. It's worth noting that you have to actually purchase Chica-PCfix before you can find any so called registry errors it finds, and even if many thousands of registry errors are found - cleaning them will often not lead to faster PC performance of fixing of problems or errors.

So, in other words the ckaim that their product will "get your PC running like new again within 1-click!" is highly dubious at best. They also make other equally dubious claims on their website.

If they were a trustworthy company, they shouldn't make there kinds of outrageous claims in the first place. When I questioned them about this over a year ago I got an unsatisfactory response back. However they did not respond to further emails I sent them. Also, when I started posting on their Facebook page, to draw attention to their questionable business practices they responded by removing the ability for users to post comments on their Facebook page.


The following post at Major Geeks may also provide useful reading:
http://forums.majorg...ad.php?t=217876

It is a discussion about the program Registry Reviver which is another (there are many) renamed version of SLOW-PCfighter.
