What do you think you will gain from spending $70 on this program? That is not trying to be facetious in any way either.

I Googled this and searched the first 10 pages and found very little except sites offering it as a download. That is no recommendation, these sites earn nice commissions from the downloads from their sites. There were a couple of negative articles but so few hardly seems representative of anything. All the promoters of course had a vested interest in the program - money.

Will this program do anything that you cannot do with a free antivirus, free firewall a free anti malware program like Superantispyware and a disc cleanup utility like Crap cleaner?

If you decide to try it we would all appreciate a writeup of your experiences.

I am with Owbist here why would you want a ?? program that you have to pay for (a lot) when there are super programs that do the same tasks for free?

I personally do not ever use registry cleaners and when asked I urge people if they are not a registry specialist then don't go there. They don't do that much for you and when used wrong can really so some serious damage. But that is a personal choice.

I would use superantispyware free or if you just want to spend some money support that fine company by getting their pay version. it is the top of the line, the pay version will do auto updates and you can schedule scanning, the free one you have to remember to update it weekly and run the scan manually. SUPERAntiSpyware

I don't know this product personally, it could be a great product but in reading the reviews on some of the tech sites I am on I did not like this right here.

The bad:

* Requires you to accept its decisions
* Automatically broadcasts stats about your machine's health to its Web site
* Uses new antivirus and new firewall technology which may fall short of existing solutions

"loading itself up with extras you might not use while urging you to accept its findings without providing context or sometimes even a choice."
"too often feels like a hot-shot garage mechanic that recommends an oil change even though your car has barely driven 3000 miles."
"Even with a disc from Iolo, we were asked to enter a long license number, then, a few screens later, enter an even longer registration number. That's a lot of numbers to key in, and if you make a mistake it's hard to find which character is out of place or entered wrong. You'd think you were entering the access code for Fort Knox."

this would be a deal breaker for me sounds way too much like spyware activity.
"During installation we were asked to agree with a standard end-user license agreement. Only later we did realise that data from our hard drive was being collected and sent back to the Iolo. How do we know that? Visitors to the Iolo Threat Center see the latest statistics from System Mechanic users worldwide, displaying percentages of cluttered files on people's machines, or how defragemented their hard drive is. We could find no way to opt out of this, either during the setup process or after out installation. We think it's wrong that Iolo collects such data without our explicit permission."

found a few owner reviews
Cons: Absolute no indication of what they are removing from your PC, so don't be surprised when it all goes wrong.

Cons: Runs in background = eats memory and CPU. Slowdowns PC.

Cons: DON'T GET THIS!!! Okay it lets you remove from control panel in XP. But dont get your hopes up its still in your computer. If you try to manually delete it, it wont let you saying you dont have permission. Its taking up 7,000+ K of my RAM and i cant even end the process. This program is a joke and shouldn't even be considered software. It's a burden. Don't get this.

Cons: crashed xp had to wipe and reload dont get this

Cons: reboots comp all the time ... constantly requires downloading upgrades ... it takes over your computer!!!!!!!!!! and you can't get it OUT!

ok after seeing all that and seriously there was not one single postive review by owners, I my self would not touch it but hey thats just how I roll LOL.

Do some google searches and read some owner reviews!

I guess it is JUNK my computer has crashed and I cant bring it back up!!!!!

What exactly do you mean by crashed? What happens when you try a startup?

So what are your plans now?
Are you comfortable getting inside the computer case?
How valuable is you data that you may not have backed up?

I ask those questions to see how you intend to overcome the situation. If the data is already backed up you can simply wipe the hard drive and start over.

You could insert the operating system CD and fire it up to try a repair if the machine can get that far.

If your data is vital but not backed up perhaps it would pay to buy a new hard drive to replace the existing drive. Install your operating system and safety programs. Then slave the old one to retrieve the needed data onto the new drive. Once satisfied you have all the data you can reformat the old drive and use it to back up your data from time to time.

give a little more info what exactly will it do and what will it not do? will it boot at all will it start to come up and stop does it give any error messages? can you boot to safe mode. It is real important to know exactly what you are seeing. If you can get into safe mode and could get to add remove and remove the program that might be helpful, if you can get to safe mode you might be able to do a system restore to before you installed it.
Tell us exactly what is happening.
