    I just saw the listing for sys mechanic Pro.
    The thing is listed at 34MB (I checked by starting the D/L from the site, it's 33.2MB)
    Now, I have sys mechanic 3.7, and it shows as:
    1.5MB -D/L file
    1.65MB - installed directory

    I looked at the advertised features, and there's nothing I see in the blurb that I don't already have.
    So, how/what/why did sys mechanic go from 1.5MB to 34MB?
    What does offer that I dont' have already?
    Did M$ buy it, explaining the bloat? ;-)

    they have added lots of other features to the install package including:

    pop up blocker
    Antivirus
    drive scrubber (to delete files securely)
    enhanced Search & Recover of deleted files
    Hard drive Defragmenter
    RAM Defragmenter
    spyware removal
    internet security features


    i still think its a valuable program, even though i dont use the Antivirus or spyware tool since i have others i am happy with.


    there may be some extras, or something more to it than that, but thats what i see at first glance to account for change in file size
