Best Utilities Package, what's your opinion?

I guess the topic pretty much speaks for itself. How would you guys rate the system utility packages you have used, and why do you use the one you do now?

I don't have too much experience with this topic but I have tried a few. Norton Systemworks....forget it, that hog should be considered malware. Ashampoo's system package was better, but seemed a bit bloated still. I use and love Ace Utilities 2.3 now.

I can't really compare them as far as effectiveness, since I am no registry guru, I can't tell you if Ace's registry cleaner is any more effective than Norton's or Ashampoo's. That is why I started this forum, for you guys who know more about whats 'under the hood'. I can only measure these apps as far as system requirements and memory usage go.

I don't want to start a flame war, so if you like Norton or something, please speak. And let us know why

interesting. this seems like a different category of software though. for repairing things after they are already screwed up hehe.

 

Um, yeah.

Thats what you meant by utilities, right?

 

sure guess so. i just had more typical registry/junk file cleaner, defrag utilities in mind though. the link you posted looks like some hard core stuff heh
