Tweak, I downloaded it, installed it, and just uninstalled it after a few weeks. It seems to work fine. It goes out to a number of sites and finds updates to your OS, then asks if you want to install them, but it just pops up whenever it wants to do so. I found that kind of troublesome. ZoneAlarm didn’t like it very much either. I think Windows update works just as well, if not better. IMHO.

Someone just mailed me that page and asked my opinion. I told them that there is no magic pill. You are either going to crash big time or your system after a period of time will become so bloated it will not get out of it`s own way. Back up all of your important stuff, make sure you have all of your drivers and Format. There is nothing like a fresh install to make it seem like you have upgraded your comp.JT.
