Should I use this product after I have used Glary Utilities, CCleaner, WinASO Registry Optimizer &amp; Free Window Registry Repair on my PC?

I have been using System Mechanic on my Vista and Windows 8 operating systems. I have never had any problems with either my Laptop or PC since using System mechanic. I can recommend it. I think system mechanic is better than the others in that is does a lot more than just repair the registry. To enjoy the benefit of any product of this nature, you need to run it at least once week which is no problem. (you can set it run automatically for a number of different functions if you want) When you are away from the pc, run scan, with automatic fix options, repack files etc. When you get back from cooking or whatever else you were doing its like new again. Works for me. A fantastic product. In 5 years I have not had to get any outside help with my machines. System Mechanic does it all for me.

I am using both AVG Internet Security and PC Tune-up. My memory is slow, but I don't think I uninstalled the old software until AVG's was installed and operating. Contact AVG and ask them -- it shouldn't take long to get it in and working. I had a hassle with the Tune up on my wife's computer and AVG helped by controlling her computer and installing it. Helpful folks. (My AVG package allowed installing it on 3 PC's. I got it in 2 laptops, then the problem with Tune up on hers.)

There is more software on here than you need. There are trial versions of Norton, MS Office, etc but there are free alternatives to those. Really, the Windows 8 load and bundled utilities from Gateway give you enough to start using it right away.

you have to run it through twice, also be very very very careful of this product, if it doesn't match your Windows system it will not work. If you upgrade computers and your new computer has a different system it will not work.

The included software works, but is not very good. Other free options for Windows are ThermoHID and Utac. I ran Utac for a year or two, then found ThermoHID fit my needs better, and is a bit more stable.

Mostly Add/Remove Programs will work, but I like to use CCleaner (aka Crap Cleaner). It is a good utility for disk health and full removal of programs.Hope that helps!

The software is good for as long as you have it. I have had mine for almost 2 years and as long as you have the security USB card you are good to go.

In short, yes. I purchased this to use for that very reason. I needed to pull files from my father's HP after the power supply fried the motherboard. Also used it to pull files from a hard drive that my brother had formatted on accident. I used specialty software for that, windows explorer wasn't good enough alone. If you have a working drive, that is not partially formatted, then all you need is this device. If it has been corrupted, you MAY need specialty software. I used a free program after googling. But in my experiences, Windows File Explorer has been more than sufficient.

No idea. I would call the HP Support Line. (Also: ... Win 8 comes will all the Anti-Virus program you need: DEFENDER. Meaning: I deleted the annoying Norton package all together and so far it looks like DEFENDER is doing in the back-ground all the work.)

I installed pokki a while ago. But it started behaving like a malware slowing down my computer. A nice UI doesn't necessarily translate to a light efficient product. I could have installed others such as start8, but I lost trust in these free apps and got used to what Windows provide. Now I like it. It is far more intuitive.

Search out and install a free program called "PC Decrapifier." It will scan your computer for software it recognizes as trial software and automatically select what it identifies. You SHOULD carefully review what it selects as it is not flawless and may select something you wish to keep. More commonly it will miss a few items you wish to add. Then you click continue and it will automatically remove those programs selected.

I would think so if Rid-X is giving you the results. I have used Rid-X and like this much better. You may be able to find out more @ their website. http://www.greenpigsolutions.com/index.html

I have not used it for that purpose, but it should. The whole point of the recovery disk is to return your Windows operating system to you. You may still have to repair problems after recovery, but you will have a fighting chance of avoiding a reinstallation of Windows and a subsequent loss of data. The recovery disk has saved me from disaster several times. Let us know how that works.

No it should do what is necessary as in actuality its on upgrade. Only if you are using a completely different product, say AVG and now using Norton, then you would have to uninstall the AVG.

Tough to say without knowing the conditions of your PC setup. Most seem to hit a high point in popularity and then eventually fade, so picking a current popular one like Avast or another like Eset Nod that is recommended by Tech Guy, either should serve well.

I would say yes as the tab has full windows 8.1 version. I downloaded the firefox browser and chrome browser with no problems. CCleaner as well.

I bought it as a download and do not recall registering anything. I have not tried to install it on another computer. Just FYI, I have not used the full scope of the product, but what I have used works great and is very intuitive to use.
