I was just given an unopened copy of Iolo System Mechanic5. I have a 2+ year old Dell Inspiron laptop running XP, a gig of ram, and a dual core Celeron. My 2 yr Macafee has run out, and I'm currently running Spybot and Adware, as well as MS Windows Defender.
Will running this oldy moldy Mechanic5 do any good, or more importantly, do any harm?
Thanks!

I only just now saw the "PC Utilities" forum. :/ I posted this thread there too.

I don't know how else to word this, short of saying, it's my opinion John has given some good advice in your other thread.
Additionally, I find when someone is interested in anything which "touches" the registry, they read all 3 pages of this discussion:
" Should I Use a Registry Cleaner?"
And more for "your reading pleasure".. via a forum search, here are many threads at CNET regarding System Mechanic, albeit various versions.
