SpeedMaxPC

Located in Hampden, Maine, SpeedMaxPC was founded in 2010, and is already one of the fastest-growing security and utility software companies in the United States and, increasingly, abroad. In 2012, only two years after the company’s founding, more than 1.7 million users had downloaded SpeedMaxPC computer maintenance products. SpeedMaxPC’s popularity is due to the fact that it has identified an underserved market—that of individual PC users who may not have computer expertise, but still need to maintain their computers without having to hire over-priced computer technicians to solve relatively simple problems.

SpeedMaxPC’s downloadable computer maintenance product provides a variety of services in one comprehensive package. In order to fix and optimize customers’ computers, SpeedMaxPC cleans the Windows registry database, defragments the disk, finds programs to open file extensions, removes active malware, and gets rid of unnecessary cached information that can slow down computers. SpeedMaxPC is so confident in its product that it provides the initial download free, giving customers the option to upgrade for $29.95 after they see firsthand how their computers’ functioning improves after the first overhaul.
