Doubt in SYSTEM MECHANIC...

[satya_gen]

I'm using Windows XP prof. SP2

I have installed System Mechanic 5.5a recently.
In System Mechanic I saw, it cleans everything and it clean Ad-aware files also.

I have Kaspersky Anti-virus software.

My question is...?

Wheather i have to install any Ad-aware softwares or not?

Is there any problem in System Mechanic?

Please tell me some suggestions...

Yes the System Mechanic removes some of the spywares but not all.so better to use the specific softwares like Adware,Spybot etc.

 

[mariner]

even thiugh sys mech offers a adware cleaning option but none can beat ad aware se and spybot snd. it wud be a good practice to install both ad aware se and spybot and just to be on the safe side also install spyware blaster to give u the best protection.

true. utilities like system mechanic or super utilities, do have spyware cleaners, but they r just there 'scratching the surface'. u must use microsoft anti-spyware or adaware or spybot.
u cud download them at www.download.com

Yesss.. get an Adware-Spyware cleanr...Iolo's System Mechanics' Cleaner is not that comprehensive.
Best Combination wud be :
1. Lavasoft's Adaware.
2. Spybot's Search & Destroy.

Both r FREE...

To Qwerty Sorry Mate...Was a Typo..

'BNoth r free'
u mean both r not free ?
or what ?

Even NAV removes Spyware and so does Zone alarm...

Mate it will be better if you use seprate adware/spyware remover.
Few options to consider:
1. Spybot's Search & Destroy.
2. Webroot spysweeper.
3. Lavasoft's Adaware
