Placed an order on Newegg and apparently this comes bundled for free with my order. Appears to be a cleaner utilitiy for the pc. Anyone have any experience with this software?

I generally take the position that if a utility comes "free" with a new computer, I don't want it. Windows built in cleaner works fine for removing temp files and such, and it never screwed up for me.

I have use it since version 4 and It is a fairly good system. It is really nice if you accidentally kill a file and that to find it. The disk doctor does a good job and restoring a deleted file. It also works good for killing file remnants and the defrag part is good to. I can't say if its better or worse then win7 defrag but I do prefer to see something happening when you defrag not just the pass its on and the percent done. If its the pro version that has antivirus then at least you got a good av program for free. I have used there av program to clean up a few bug's that both norton and NOD didn't get.
