Installed fine on Windows 7 3 bit and then said there's an upgrade available (9.7). Downloaded that and it upgraded still as a licensed copy.

this is winutilities pro 9.6
the latest version is 9.7
according to cnet, this software has got 4/5 stars in user ratings and it is the 4th most downloaded system utility there.
the difference between 9.6 and 9.7


What's new in this version:
Version 9.7 has improved duplicate file finder module and undelete module.


ashraf has written an article about previous versions here: http://dottech.org/gotdreviews/13850

final score:8
quick verdict, two thumbs up :)
he has said that in short, winutilities is a jack of all trades but master of none. he also points out that if you leave out the convenience factor, standalone specialised softwares always do a better job than these suites.
but the choice is up to you.

i think you can give this a try if you want to, especially when its free!

installed OK on win7 x64, prompted me to upgrade to 9.7, upgraded and am still licensed as per post #2. why not just have 9.7 in the setup.exe?

beware the dreaded ASK toolbar is infesting both the giveaway of the day and the update from the vendor and is installed by default. you CAN untick the box and install it without accepting the 'license agreement' and accompanying toolbar.which is for the ask toolbar. note the utility package. also not the check boxes in the final giveaway of the day window which offers to install yet another 'utility'.

if we accept all these 'free' toolbars, bing, ask, yahoo, etc. etc. ad nauseum, there would be no room on the screen to see anything else!

the default should be set to allow you to make a conscious decision to opt in, rather than relying on a tendency for overloaded users to hit the OK button by default before realising they have just infected themselves.

I've used this for a long time now and while it may not be the most in depth program of its kind, I consider it fairly safe for the average user. There is little harm to be done with Win Utilities, but bear in mind that back ups are essential, no matter how easy it all appears.

Be careful not to click through the installation blindly unless you're desperate to get the Ask toolbar (ugh!) taking over your browser and your homepage. While I understand the economics of this to the developer, I have to question the morality. They are well aware that many people do not look to closely at anything when installing a program.
