System Mechanic 4

I bought System Mechanic 4 a few weeks ago, and I simply love the program.. I would recommend everyone to purchase this software ASAP.

I've used the earlier version for several yrs. I have 3.7h. The spyware and popup blocker are not in the earlier versions.

You should get the new version, cause it has a bunch of updates for the program after you buy it, and the spyware def's..

I already have almost all of that stuff on my PC for free. What qualities make it worth $30?

The way the programs run on SM4 rather than on the operating system... Its just different technology.

i have bean useing version 3 since it first came out i upgraded to the new version 4 it is a lot better i have got the pro one and its good value for the money check out the list of features hear http://www.iolo.com/sm/purchaseinfo.cfm as a computer tec i rate this program 9 out of 10 the defrag is about 30 to 40% quicker than xp and the file recovery is a life saver i know you can get cheaper and free tools on the net but i like the all in one packege the fire wall is as good as zone allarm and the av seams to work as expected so my addvice is to give the 30 trial a go even if you dont like it it wont destroy you system like norton or macaffie when you uninstal it
