I downloaded Optimizer XP from your download section but before I used it I want to see if there are any risks to harming my computer if I set it to preformance. like will it overheat or is it like overclocking or whatever.

I'm personally not a big fan of anykind of "pc optimizer" or "ram optimizers" ect. but a quick google search doesnt bring up any problems with the app. And its not like youre overclocking , so no need to worry about heat.

I am not a fan of 3rd party softwares eighter. There are many twekas available to optimize the speed of your PC. Google search comes up with many tweaking guides.

Is there a reason you guys dont like them? do they cause problems of any kind or is it just a personal thing, you just dont like em. . .

That depends on what kind of optimizer it is , memoptimizers just do more harm then good afaik.

And things like XP optimizers could mess up settings , and you never know what it did. And i want to know exactly what happends , and how things are setup on my pc.

So both , personal , and they can do harm.

I used it for a while. But it doesn't seem to improve performances. I would not recommend Optimizer XP. I also throw it away because I want to know what exactly is going on.
