That commercial has bothered me for as long as it has been around.

That's the real problem. When stupid people get greedy. If they had done it for $5 instead they'd be billionaires by now.

To be fair to that cleanup app, it reported a thousand issues on a week-old install of WINDOWS 8.
I'd say that's a fairly low number. :p
