This set of system tools boasts a large and versatile feature set, replacing many standalone applications. Super Utilities Pro contains five main modules. Its tools remove junk files from your disk, the Registry, the start-up menu, program rosters, and RAM. Privacy Protector lets you hide or lock folders, clean your system tracks, password-protect applications that hold sensitive data, quickly and securely delete files, and hide IE Favorites and Start menu items from view. System Maintenance includes Task Manager-like functions, Internet Explorer customization tools, valuable system information, and utilities for tweaking Windows. With the Special Tools module, you can schedule shutdown times, locate and back up your drivers, identify space-hogging folders, and modify the Super Utilities context-menu options. System Cleaner features a handful of tools for cleaning your disk and the Registry and for performing routine maintenance tasks. The latest addition to this program is the Security Doctor module, which provides a number of tools for keeping malware at bay. The scanner was fast and mostly accurate, though it unfortunately detected a few false positives. We like the tool for removing problematic BHOs; we also like the start-up manager, which is under the Security Doctor heading. In the end, Super Utilities Pro seems ideal for those seeking to retain their privacy and to keep their PCs in good running condition.Publisher's description

Version: Super Utilities Pro 6.42
Pros: I compared it to Tune Up Utilities and Super Utilities had more tools, was faster and easier to use, and had a better design and better looking icons.
Cons: none???

Version: Super Utilities Pro 6.42
"Causes Windows Explorer Problems (DEP)"
Pros: Toolset is broad and generally capable, at least in my limited testing.
Cons: Once I installed this software, I started getting DEP (Data Execution Prevention) exceptions on my tablet PC. Many hours later, after disabling DEP on my computer (not recommended, had to edit the boot.ini file), I got rid of the exceptions, and all seemed fine. I had installed Super Utilities to try to fix a memory problem I was having, so I thought the DEP errors were part of the initial problem.
But then, my Windows Explorer started crashing. Many more hours of experimentation, looking at shell extensions and other things, and I finally decided to uninstall Super Utilities (since this new weirdness only started after I installed it), and that fixed everything. I was able to turn DEP back on, too.
So, while Super Utilities may work for some people, if you have the Windows Explorer crashes, uninstall it immediately!
(BTW, check the other negative comments here and you'll see that my experience is not unique.)
