XP Repair Pro Reviews

Going into reviewing this product, I wasn't expecting much. There are too many products that claim to speed up your computer. All to often though they simply don't have that many features. I was expecting the same with XP Repair Pro. Honestly though, I was impressed with this software.

XP Repair Pro has a nice list of tools to repair and speed up your computer. There's a Registry Cleaner, Registry Defrag, Startup Manager, Registry Editor, and Hard Drive Cleanup. In addition there is also a tool to anonymize your internet web surfing. How many system optimization tools honestly have that? Not many.

As far as the tools itself, they seem to perform fairly well. Tests on the Registry Cleaner only found it to be about average though. However, I think the additional tools certainly make up for it.

My recommendation? Go ahead and try this software out. It may be perfect for you.

Pros: Nice feature list, Has an Anonymous Internet feature, free 15 day trial.
Cons: Registry Cleaner just seemed about average

WindoFix Review

Pros: The Registry Cleaner itself doesn't seem to be too bad. Quick Scan.
Cons: Scare Tactics, Small Feature List.

~~~~~

Another Registry Cleaner on the market, and another mediocre one at that. Testing out WindoFox left me less then impressed.

To start, the official website uses numerous tactics to get you to try to download their software. Some of these tactics include a fake
scan, fake alerts, etc. Definitely not cool.

When it comes to WindoFix itself, the feature list isn't that impressive. Yeah I know it's supposed to just be a registry cleaner, but
that doesn't stop other registry cleaners from including other features.

As far as the registry cleaner itself, testing that was done found it to be average compared to other registry cleaners.

If you are looking for just a registry cleaner, then maybe you might like WindoFix. But if you are looking for something more, then
go ahead and pass on this registry cleaner.

TubeTilla Pro Review

Pros: Videos can be saved in many different file formats. The program is very easy to use.

Cons: None

~~~~~

These days, YouTube appears to be everywhere. It's in TV shows, in the news, and all over the internet. YouTube has quickly
become the way to share videos with others. However, the one downside to YouTube is that there aren't download links on the
videos.

That is where TubeTilla Pro comes in. TubeTilla Pro is basically a program that will download YouTube videos onto your computer.

So how does TubeTilla Pro work? Well, whenever you find a YouTube video that you want to download, you will open up TubeTilla
Pro. Once you have opened up TubeTilla Pro, you will copy and paste the download link into TubeTilla Pro. From there, you will
click "Get Video". Just like that, TubeTilla Pro will download the YouTube video you have just watched.

One feature I was especially impressed with when testing TubeTilla Pro was the ability to select the file format the YouTube video is
saved as. That means you don't have to save it as a Flash Video. You can save the video in many different file formats. You can save
it as an WMV, AVI, MPEG, etc. You can also save it as an MP3 to listen to on your iPod.

There are a few other features that come with TubeTilla Pro. Embed YouTube videos into Powerpoint presentations, ability to watch
videos on your iPod, download multiple videos at once, and more.

Overall, I think TubeTilla Pro is a great program. The main reason you would use TubeTilla Pro is simple, downloading YouTube
videos. In my opinion, TubeTilla Pro handles that perfectly. Highly recommended.

The Windows Repair Kit Review

Pros: None.

Cons: Really bad Registry Cleaner, not very many features.

~~~~~

At first, I wasn't sure what to expect from The Windows Repair Kit. I couldn't completely figure out what all it featured until I
actually installed the program. After I opened it up, I had a better idea.

The Windows Repair Kit is basically another Registry Cleaner. However, it does have a few additional features as it includes a startup
manager, and an internet optimizer. It isn't a lot though.

So how did the Registry Cleaner perform? Unfortunately, it did not perform very well. Perhaps The Windows Repair Kit was just
being cautious in what it wanted to remove. But there is such thing as being TOO cautious, and The Windows Repair Kit clearly
crossed that line.

Until The Windows Repair Kit fixes their registry cleaner to clean more of your registry, don't bother with this software.

SpamBully Review

Pros: Has many different options for filtering e-mail. Spam filter gets smarter as you use it more. Option of reporting e-mail to the
FTC.
Cons: Only works with Microsoft Outlook
If you took a poll and asked internet users what the biggest annoyance is on the internet, the majority would probably say E-Mail
Spam. E-Mail Spam has been one of the biggest problems for internet users for years. Millions of Spam E-Mails are sent everyday
and it doesn't appear to be letting up. So what are internet users supposed to do about this?

Well, there are a few options with dealing with Spam. Some E-Mail providers offer Spam controls. Some of the Spam controls are
good, other Spam controls are not so good. This is where SpamBully comes in.

SpamBully is basically a computer software with the main purpose of stopping Spam. SpamBully works with Microsoft Outlook. So
how does SpamBully go about stopping Spam? Well, SpamBully has many different features for stopping Spam. Here are my three
favorite features:

Filtering E-Mail By Country

SpamBully has the option of filtering your E-Mails based on the country it originates from. This is probably my favorite feature of
SpamBully. So for instance, are you sick of those E-Mail scams coming from Nigeria? Well, you can block all E-Mails from Nigeria
and just like that, your problem is taken care of.

Filter E-Mail Based on Select Words

This is another really good feature that I like about Spam Bully. Basically, you can type in any words that if are found in any
incoming E-Mail, SpamBully will mark it as spam. This is really useful. For instance, put in the word "Viagra", and any E-Mails that
contain the word "Viagra" will automatically be marked as spam. How about blocking the word "Enlarge"? Well bye-bye penis
enlargement E-Mails. Those will be going straight to the spam folder.

Report E-Mails To the FTC

Not only can you block Spam with SpamBully, but you can also get back at the Spammers. SpamBully allows you to report their
Spam to their Internet Provider as well as the FTC. Not only are you simply blocking their Spam, but you are also helping to reduce
the amount of Spam on the web by stopping these Spammers. I love it.

Although those were my three favorite features, there are also other features I like as well. Forward E-Mails to your cell phone,
bounce E-Mail spam back to the spammer, compehensive graphing showing SpamBullys performance, and more.

I honestly can't say enough about SpamBully. I absolutely love this program. If you are having any kind of problem with E-Mail
spam, then I highly recommend SpamBully.

Startup Mechanic Review

Pros: Very easy to use.
Cons: Database isn't always accurate.
Startup Mechanic is a good program, but it does have it's flaws.
Those looking for a simple startup program won't be disappointed with Startup Mechanic. Startup Mechanic takes the various
startup items onto your computer and puts them into simple categories. Need to disable an item? Check the box next to it and click
disable. Very easy.

However, the downside with Startup Mechanic is that it's database of which programs are good and bad is very inaccurate. I found
numerous times where Startup Mechanic put legitimate startup programs into the harmful category and claimed it was spyware.

If you are looking for a program to also accurately tell you what each item is, you may want to look elsewhere. However, if you just
want a simple way to disable programs on startup, Startup Mechanic just may be what you are looking for.

System Mechanic Review

Pros: Lots of Tools, Lots of Automated Tasks, and Lots of Information.

Cons: None

~~~~~

There are numerous System Utility programs on the market today. It's a competitive market and creating an excellent product isn't
easy. However, testing System Mechanic left me very impressed.

The first thing I noticed when I tried out System Mechanic is just how many features there really is. The feature list is down right
amazing. In the Individual tools section, I counted thirty tools listed. Yes, thirty. Not a typo. Defrag your hard drive, remove junk
files, defrag your registry, find duplicate files, monitor hard drive status, etc. It's all here.

I should also add that System Mechanic also has many automated tasks. That way you can have System Mechanic automatically do
those tools for you. In addition, there is an IntelliStatus section which lists your current hard drive space, current system memory,
internet speed, and more.

I honestly can't say enough about System Mechanic. It is by far one of the best System tools on the market today. This program is
perfect for keeping your computer running smoothly. If you are even debating trying it, don't debate any longer. Just download it
now. Five Stars.
