Finally Fast...Scam or Not

I downloaded this software after seeing it on tv for a while.  Hasn't really done to much to speed things up.  Payed $35.  Any thoughts?  Thanks in advance.

A wast of money. These types of programs rarely do anything but add bloatware to your system.

Hi, What software are you talking about, and what dell model and OP of your system do you have.

It's basically a registry cleaner. Web Of Trust  gives the Finally Fast site a red warning.

I don't support the use of so called "registry cleaners" because they can aggravate a situation and take steps that we are many times not manually aware of.
 It is better not to resort to such programs if you don't know what is happening with the proposed fix and the registry.
Otherwise, a change to the registry can make a system unbootable by one mistake.
Here are some good discussions:

You can usually do better with CCleaner to clean out clutter along with a good malware scanner such as Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. Those are FREE.
