I am thinking of using System Mechanic 6 on my computer as i had not done a "maintance" (Derfrag, remove temp internet files) for quite a while.

I am interested in any other peolpe who have used it and what are their thoughts on it.

Or is there a better option?

Although I haven't used version 6, previous versions left me unimpressed.

I prefer Diskeeper for Defrag.

ATF-Cleaner (free) for emptying Temp folders and such.

Those are some of my favorite tools.
Many will say that it is better to avoid 'Automated Tools' since some cause more problems than they resolve.
I feel that as long as you use them with caution, they can often make things a lot easier and sometimes faster and smoother.

Good Luck.

It left me with a system I didn't even recognise.

Many hours and copious consumption of liquid caffeine ensued, before I could sleep peacefully again.

Since then I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, except maybe Bill Gates.
