Pros: I've used this product years ago and was very happy with how it cleans the system.
I would recommend it unless...

Cons: ...you don't want to give out your e-mail address.
Personally, I feel they have no business requiring an e-mail address.
So now I'm faced with a dilemma, do I stash this software in a box and forfeit my $70 and chuck this experience as lesson learned and avoid this company going forward, or do i cave in and give them my e-mail address?
Of course there is a 3rd option...I create a temporary and disposable e-mail address just to get by this registration?
The question is then, what happens when I need to reinstall and they tell me to go check that e-mail to which I've long forgotten the password??

Other Thoughts: Bottom line, if you don't want to give your e-mail away, knowing they WILL sell it and then spam it, stay away from this product.

Pros: Its a good to clean up your PC but nothing too special and wish it came with an anti-virus application, but it tells you if you have an anti-virus program setup

Cons: No anti-virus application

Pros: I started using SMPro way back before it became so user-friendly. It is still a Geek-ette's dream, but now it's easier to use, and much harder to inadvertantly harm your system. I go to many places on the 'net that harbor malware, and I've been delighted at all the crud that the anti-malware feature has stopped. The tools seem comprehensive and well-organized, there are tutorials for people who want them, and there is even a nifty desktop gadget you can install if you want--it alerts you to problems without having to go look for them! I took one of my computers with SMPro on it in for a 'free checkup' out of curiosity, and their software found NO problems. I have also used Fix-it Tools intermittantly, but I prefer the way SMPro integrates individual tools for the option of completing many related tasks at once--this is really handy for setting up a new computer (or when you reload the OS), or when you just need to run less frequent maintenance tasks. The scheduler is easy and reliable, allowing time- and resource- consuming maintenance tasks to run at YOUR convenience (mine run while I'm at work or asleep). SMPro makes it easy for me to keep everything in tip-top shape, from registry keys to device drivers, and disc surface scans and defragging. I've been able to rely on it to search for updates, and stop the individual services from loading at boot-up--and that makes for a faster boot-up and more available machine resources for what you are trying to accomplish. There is even a tool specific to solid state drives that is tailored to the particular needs of SSDs. I like that SMPro seems to take up fewer resources, and is clearer about what exactly it's doing than other 'user-friendly' maintenance packages (like the one with 360 in the name).

Cons: Gee, I can't think of any.

Other Thoughts: After recommending it to my 'older' parents (dad is in his 70s now), they started using it and he likes it really well. Mom is still a tad 'out of the loop' but the program is easy enough to use that I can walk her through it on the phone.
