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.

Product:

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.

Product:

Nero 8 Ultra Edition

Version: 8.3.2.1

great

Pros: this is all you need for all your media related stuff you like to do on your pc. Although I don't have any need for a product like this anymore (i don't mess around with mp3 etc. anymore) I fully recommend this software for people who need to edit mp3's, video, etc. It gets the job done! And the price is very reasonable for all the stuff you can do.

Cons: none
