 Put a crow bar in your wallet December 4, 2008
For years I have used free or trial versions of antivirus, spyware, firewall, registry cleaner, etc. I finally found one that made me buy the full version after the 30 day trial and erase all the old McAffe, Norton, Zone Alarm etc. I got the trial version from a friend and found it fast, agressive, and seems more complete than the open source and samples I had been using. This even beats AVG. Put a crowbar in your wallet and buy it. I put it on three machines and took it off one with no problems. I am puzzled by negative reviews that claim difficulties. Our IT dept. uses it too of XP, and Vista. While it is new to me, so far it outshines the rest.
 System Mechanic Professional November 18, 2008
I have dial up service. As a result, updating System Mechanic Pro took quite a long time. The box said Version 8, as purchased, but when I ran the disc, it was Version 7.5. As a result, I had to do extensive updating and had a few minor glitches in updating. Since the installation, it has functioned well. I have had a few minor problems, but they may have been due to other things, not to System Mechanic. I've been using SM for about a month and like it so far.
 Wouldn't even install ! November 13, 2008
I purchased the product this month (Nov. 2008). When trying to install I kept getting a pop-up error message saying that I first had to uninstall Spyware Doctor. Spyware Doctor was uninstalled from my computer almost a year ago. Cleaned the registry and did everything else that I could think of; no luck. There was a help page that offered some "bypass" proceedures, but none of them worked. Tried the email tech support route and finally received a reply that did not even apply to my problem. Fortunately, I got my money back. Please don't waste your money.
Are you kidding me? This thing is pure junk October 4, 2008

I went out to Best Buy and bought the software, I must say...its one of the worst products that I have ever purchased. The darn thing messed up my programs and screwed everything up, thank god I know enough to fix the problem effectively, but what if there is someone who doesn't know how to fix the problem, which in turn sends the user to the PC Shop to get it fixed, more money spent. Avoid this software with all costs...it sucks, if you want a reliable and effective system utility, get TuneUp Utilities, at least it won't screw up your system like this one did. I do not recommend buying this piece of junk. I give this software a 1 star, I at least gave it that since the only thing good about it is the nice interface.
Does NOT work with Vista!!! September 15, 2008

The box makes the claim that this software works on windows Vista. This is a lie! I installed it on my machine with 32bit Vista Home Premium edition installed. It found over a dozen problems. So far so good. I push the button that said "repair problems" (or something similar). I get the blue screen of death... It takes some work considering the description of the error is sadly lacking along with a meaningful log. I manually fix the problem. I hit "repair problems", blue screen of death... I do this four times. After I manually hack the registry, kill system files, and manipulate the boot process using msconfig. (oh and I have to manually kill some services... ). Regardless, it doesn't work as advertised. If I didn't already have expert knowledge of the OS, I would have been screwed. This program is marketed toward people who don't have expert knowledge. I don't know about XP. This app may rock on that Windows version... All I know is that it doesn't work worth doodley squat on Vista...
