I have been using SM 5.0 (the free version) on two computers now for 4

not, but the program finds a lot of registry entries that are not valid. I
do notice that some programs that I remove from the add/remove section in
the control panel, leaves a lot of registry entries as if they were still
there. The program allows me to delete them. I also have been trying a
program called cleanup (freeware) search google for it, that really is not a
memory hog, and can clean (flush) almost everything.

I posted below in response to someone who said never to use registry
cleaners that are advertised on google etc. I'm curious to know if
anyone has anything good to say about Sys Mechanic 7. I'm not usually
one to complain but this experience has really ticked me off.
"I puchased this piece of garbage from Best Buy, hoping to resolve
some problems I was having with the underperforming HP desktop I
bought last December. I thought the AMD dual core processor would be
an improvement over my 2 yr old laptop. I saw no difference, in fact
the laptop is more reliable.
According to the advertising on the cover Iolo's product has one many
awards and is also a virus protector and firewall. I had to turn off
the firewall, now the virus protector gives me an error message at
startup. I turned on the windows firewall and every now and then get a
message that I have no firewall on.
How do these people get away with it? I will never buy anything from
Best Buy again after this, nor HP.
One hilarious feature of this program, it tells you that you have a
critical error in that there are some files to clean up. First of all
that should not be a critical error, they are just Internet Cache
files etc. Second, if you click on "remove" it starts removing, then
gets to say 39% done and the program hangs ROFL! One time I had to do
a hard reboot to get the computer to start up again, sometimes you
click on the System Mechanic icon and nothing happens. In that case I
had to reinstall the program, probably losing one of the 3 licences it
comes with. Oh and by the way after reanalyzing the computer those few
hundred megabytes come back again as a critical problem to resolve.
Of course I contacted technical help and they sent me a link to their
FAQS etc. which I had already looked at. Then I had to email them
again and am still waiting for a response.
I blame the people who give these programs awards, and then Best Buy
and others for not looking into it. You can't return opened software
so they should make sure they are not selling dud programs like Sys
Mechanic 7."- Hide quoted text -
