Title: Point Blank -- Is RestoreDisks.com Legit or Bogus?
Post by: Chim on January 31, 2012, 11:22:58 PM
RestoreDisks.com had been recommended to me here at the avast Forums.
I can't remember by whom.

Nevertheless, as I have mentioned on another thread on this Forum, I do now have my newer computer (Dell) presumably up & running.  But, I'm seriously beginning to question the legal status of that Windows as installed by RestoreDisks.com's Restore CD.

I have yet to at any point be prompted for the 25-character Product Key.
And the "Activate Windows" option mysteriously does NOT exist at
Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools

And yet, not only is the Windows running seemingly fine, but even some Windows Updates downloaded and installed yesterday.  This morning some more Updates started downloading, but I eventually turned the Updates off.

With that and no reply to my E-mail to RestoreDisks.com's Customer Service after 2 days, I'm REALLY now questioning whether RestoreDisks.com is on the level.

IS RestoreDisks.com Legit or Bogus?
Is what they do even legal?
IS there such a thing as 3rd party websites being able to legally sell Restore Disks like that?
Or is that BS?
I don't even want to touch that computer anymore until I get a handle on and feel comfortable that RestoreDisks.com is legit ... IF they are.
Anyone know for sure?

A search for "RestoreDisks" here reveals only the posts made by you. Are you sure it was recommended here?

It took me about 5 days to get a reply from Konami Customer Support. Be patient. ;)

Yep, I'm pretty sure it was here on the avast Forums that RestoreDisks.com was recommended.
I won't wait too much longer before I'll be in a mood to go all Chuck Norris on them.
Of course, if they're Scammers, they're certainly not going to listen to any E-mails.  And I don't believe their phone number is Toll Free.
