Nice, I just bought a repair disk for my computer since my desktop was running so slow, and considered buying another desktop, I ran System Mechanic Professional Disk I bought at walmart and now my computer is fast. It fixed my registry, and many other things, plus it is a virus protector. I had something pop up that a 32G/dpwnload tried to get into my system but the Mechanic Professional killed it. I looked up the download, and it is advertisements and this particular download slows down the computer and eats up the memory. Happy I bought this product instead of investing in another Desktop.
