Hmmm. Interesting. I mean, I was always aware of the fact that, essentially, these sort of applications are only ever going to be effective on older and more poorly maintained systems, but I did find:

Two of the products I tested appear to be entirely identical except for their names. Even their separate Web sites are exactly alike except for the product name and illustration.

particularly amusing; I mean, I figured that the 'money for old rope' aspect of this sort of utility (on the basis that it's targetting people who can't or won't do their own system maintenance) was of a certain level, but the fact that someone might go through and purchase the same utility twice made me chuckle.
