PC Repair Programs

[Rip the Jacker]

Does anyone know of a program similar to iolo's System Mechanic 5/6 ? One that cleans up the registry, duplicate files, gets rid of spyware, etc all-in-one?

I don't know any all-in-one programs. I use Tune-Up Utilities 2004 (2006 is out now though), which will clean up your reg nicely. For duplicate files I use ViceVersa, and for spyware you could use anything from spysweeper/adaware se/spybot/microsoft antispyware.

I know you wanted an all-in-one, but here are single progs if you can't find an all-in-one.
