Webroot Spysweeper Is Far Better Than System Mechanics As Spysweeper Is A Complete Standalone And Will Not Come Into Any Conflict With Firewalls Etc.

im not 100% positive, but i believe system mechanic is a registry cleaner/fixer. Spysweeper only is an adware removal program which makes them 2 different things. Also, i dont understand what you mean that they would come in conflict with a firewall. They only connect to the internet to update. I think spysweeper is a good program, but one needs system mechanic also, not one or the other

Thats not quite right nizzy take it from me had been there
I bought system mechanics and it came into conflict with mcafee firewall security so
I returned it and replaced it with webroot spysweeper which sweep all files registry and drives and would suggest you go for it.

However,if you go to daschund.com you can get to excellent
2 in 1 software package called anti crash and hare.

Hare,is a windows accellorator and will speed up windows upto 300%
has a feature called memory wash and defragmentation.

anti crash is wht it is and is excellent for repairing corrupt or damage files the rest I am going to let you find out for yourself and what I have given you is first hand experience an I can tell you now that both are unbeatable combination value for money. so go for it.!!!!

system mechanic is everything and they do not conflict with any firewalls. i have this and norton internet security and adware SE running alongside each other without any problems.

I use zone alarm firewall and when a new program is run and it tries to access the internet i get a popup that asks if it is ok once, always, or never...is that what you got with mcaffe?if so that is not a conflict really, its just doing what it is supposed to be doing

i used mcaffee once about two years ago. the program itself was fairly easy to work with but in caused a lot of conflicts within my system especially with one of my music programs. Zone alarm has some good reviews but i have never used it myself so i cant reccomend what i havent used. Norton internet security does exactly the same thing as zone alarm in respect to ok ing a program to access the internet but im not sure if zone alarm also asks you if you want to run java script etc though. norton does.:mrgreen:

it does not ask you about running java scripts and that is a bumer because many viruses are launched through java...other wise the program has been perfect and above every expectation ive had

mcafee just sits in the background and if there is something untoward a task bar dialogue box will popup to give you the options to allow access or not.

when I said there was a conflict of software between mcafee and system mechanics thats what it was when first loading the firewall files each would try to load up first and effectively causes a freeze up thats why I mentioned the standalone feature of webroot spysweeper and I suggest a better software package than system mechanics.

Go to Daschund.com and you will be introduced to a twin package called anti crash and hare the anti crash has far better features for scanning and repairing files and register including all storage drives.

The hare is a windows accelorator which does exactly what it says and more it can increase windows response by as much as 300% and will prevent any spam on your e:mails.hare will also wash and defragment which increses your memory the rest i will let you discover for around 30 quid its brilliant and more user friendly than system mechanic looad it and try before you buy you wo'nt regret it

HI,

This has workeed for me in Windows XP in slow boot. Download BOOTVIS.EXE. Then make sure your enableprefetch ability is enabled in the registry. In Windows/Prefech folder delete all the old prefech files. Then reboot and defragment your machine with windows defragmenter. Run BOOTVIS.EXE to optimize your system. Then run system idle processes using this command in the RUN command line, type this.

Rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks

Then repeat defragment and bootvis again. You should have a faster boot now.

Hope this helps,

- Skye
