System Mechanic

Version: 7.5.4.3

terrible terrible terrible

Pros: nothing positive about this! I tested this program on a brand new vista laptop (vista updated and patched) I purchased yesterday. Read results below:

Cons: okay, let me start off by saying that i was once a fan of this program but version 7 is complete garbage. It deletes very important dll's when it "cleans" your system which in turn makes for a very unstable operating system. It's internet tuner actually makes broadband connections slower. And I question it's ability to fix so called "security vulnerabilities". You really need to look elsewhere if you are needing a solid all around app. Try Ace Utilities, Ashampoo WinOptimizer ,or Tuneup Utilities 2008. The only good program that Iolo makes is DriveScrubber.

Nero 7 Ultra Edition Enhanced

Version: 7.10.1

nice!

Pros: I tried this program on Vista and was very happy with. When I tried previous versions on my xp machines i didnt like it much because it would crash a lot and left a lot to be desired after you make an mp3 cd, but on Vista it runs great. It's easy with a ton of tools.

Cons: You have to go to their website and download help files.

ZoneAlarm Security Suite

Version: 7.1

The one I trust and use on all my machines

Pros: I am a huge fan of this security suite. I usually despise all in one security suites but this one is extremely effective and uses the kaspersky av engine, Can't beat that!

Cons: On my Vista machine I have noticed a couple annoying bugs. Once in awhile the Anti-spyware update will "hang" forever. Another complaint is that on Vista this Suite is not yet fully functional because it is missing some of the tools available on the xp version. I have contacted ZoneAlarm about this and they assure me that they will have all the tools currently available on Vista that they have on XP when the next update is released. If it had all the features of the xp version I would have given it 5 stars. But still better than mcafee or norton.

SnagIt

Version: 8.2.3

Awesome utility that is the complete package for screen recording.

Pros: Best utility around when you need to take screenshots and edit them or if you need to record your screen movements.

Cons: The company is a bit stingy when it comes to upgrades. I bought this program when Version 7.25 came out and two months later they upgraded to version 8 and said I had to pay for the upgrade ;( Companies need to give their customers at least 12 months of free upgrades after spending hard earned money on their apps.

AVG Anti-Spyware

Version: 7.5.0.50

decent but not great

Pros: It provides thorough scans. And the 30 day trial period is generous (but read below).

Cons: This happened on both an XP machine and Vista: After you do a reboot the resident shield deactivates itself and is impossible to turn back on ( I was only on my first day of the trial period). After that fiasco I uninstalled and went back to counterspy.
