Panda won't give you a key for the virus protection
I bought five of these in late 2005. the system mechanic part works great, but Panda Software won't give you a key to get updates for the anti-virus, says it is too old. It is actually panda platinum version 7, (which is still being sold as renewals today).^M
System Mechanic Pro 4
I tried the more recent version, System Mechanic Pro 5, and as nice as it is, it's just a slightly improved version of System Mechanic Pro 4. I am very happy with System Mechanic Pro 4. For one thing the price point. System Mechanic Pro 5 currently runs around $70, but got the System Mechanic Pro 4, mucher cheaper and it has all the basic features of the newer version. The defragment memory and recover memory features are great. Currently I am running two gig's of ram, so there's not alot to recover at this point, but prior to recently installing the 2 gig's, I was running a paltry 512 mb's of ram. Using System Mechanic Pro 4's memory defrag and restore features increased my overall free memory dramatically. Prior to running the defrag/restore feature was lucky to average 240 megabites free. After using it, which only takes a few minutes, was averaging 388 megabites free memory space. That's just over 1 1/2 more memory free available. There are many other great features included with System Mechanic Pro 4. I would recommend it to anyone, who wants to keep their PC tuned up and running great. Ed Wilson
very poor program
I have not attempted to determine exactly why this program is so bad...all I know is that it messed with my registry and I needed to re-boot numerous times in order to run....If not for 'System Restore' on my XP OS, I'd still be frozen. Don't waste your dollars.
