I have used SM5. Seemed like a good program at first. But be carefull what you let it do. It ended up deleteing some critical reg. files from my system.
I have since deleted it. Maybe number 6 is the charm. icon_wink.gif

Oh Ya, I almost forgot, welcome to 4peeps.

I'm always wary about programs that tweak your system "automagically" At best they usually do nothing, at worst, they destroy your windows installation so that you have to re-format and install everything from scratch.

As for firewall and anti-virus....there are better alternatives that are completely free. AVG for anti-virus, and Kerios Personal firewall come to mind.
