Pros: I really the idea of summing up all necessary software under the same item. Plus checking your system up on schedule is good; especially when you're running XP Home edition.
Cons: Nothing really explosive, takes a lot of your computer resources, Speed Disk is a joke (don't run like a rabbit, drags like a snail).
Otherwise OK.

7.4If you already have SystemWorks, don't bother with this minor upgrade. But if you don't own SystemWorks, buy this version for its high-quality hard drive utilities and the PC protection it provides.

Why do so many (virtually all) software packages think that they are so important that they have to be started automatically every time the computer boots? What is the largest number of "speed access", "update check", "camera download" and whatever other background programs you have ever seen running? Of those, how many did you really need?
