Not too much listed when doing a search, just wondering how System Mechanic stacks up against Norton. I have Norton Utilities 2006 and was wondering what the difference was?

I can guess Pro about system mechanic is not too bloated and con for Norton is too bloated and will slow down your PC.

Thanks for the reply, I was wondering as far as the diagnostic capabilities if one out-performed the other. I?m not really into registry problems and just take for granite that when Norton runs WinDoctor it is actually finding problems and correcting them.

Thanks for any replies.

Go with Iolo's System Mechanic. I have v5 and it's much better than Norton Utilities (which I have installed in parallel). The only thing good about Norton's Utilities is the disk checker.
