Game Booster - Worth installing?

Stumbled across this little app, supposedly suspends any unneccesary background processes/services while you game, and does a few other tweaks to increase ingame FPS. Anyone try it out? Is it worth it, or should I pass? Could use a few frames in Cryostasis heh...

It's not a scam or malware and it does what it says it does. Really just automates turning off unneeded windows services, which many of us have been doing manually for years. Your mileage will vary depending on how powerful your PC is. High end PC's wont notice much difference if at all. It's a godsend for older pc's run by people with little computer experience.

It's pretty much like AMD Fusion..

I'm gonna guess it's a scam and it's malware. If you want to suspend background processes just use ctrl+alt+del and do it yourself, you can also streamline windows with msconfig.markop2003

It isn't a scam so to speak but its a waste of time. More to the point, if you need software like this, why are you are playing PC games?

Gamebooster (early versions) is actually a nice program. It just turns off services not needed when you game. The new gameboosters are LOL (uber scam with "tweak settings, at 9 dollar fee lol) Find Gamebooster 1.4 and you will enjoy. Remember, all this does is shutdown background programs running and turns off unneccesary services in one button. Nothing to special but good for what it does... (AVOID THE NEW GAMEBOOSTER).jedikevin2

No but it likes to ask you to buy their "pro version" for 9.99. Shareware malware crap. 1.4 is much simpler in design and application without all the nonsense. jedikevin2

I have had 2.0 since release but after a while I get this everytime I turn it on and it returns in about 2 hrs after application is on (gamebooster moved to a pure shareware focus now). Eventually just went back to 1.4 since it gave me same behvaior in a simpler motion. Also 1.4 is ad free (no banners and crap), program is easier to understand without all the settings and tabs getting in the way. 1.4 is just a better program to me.
