I'm not really a fan of diagnostic tools and the like, a lot of what they do can be done with a simple restart, by a firewall and much simpler and better programs like CCleaner.
Advanced System Optimizer - ASO contains a load of features, some great, some completely pointless such as the wallpaper changer.. I really don't think you need a program to do this. While some features of it such as the system and disk cleaner and registry cleaner and fixer, these tasks can be done by the much simpler, smaller and better (in my opinion) CCleaner.
WinXP Manager - Essentially the same program as ASO with a few more features tacked on, such as an icon manager. I would consider downloading this program for the icon manager so I don't have to have a 3rd party application running constantly in the background.
FreshDiagnose - FD has a terrible interface when in comparison to the other I have wrote about so far. It has a set of benchmark tools for various things such as CPU, memory and network. FD has a lot of detailed system information for you to view also.
PC Doc Pro - Worst splash screen ever. Worst interface ever. Worst reminder system ever. I do not want to buy this program.
-------------------------------
CCleaner - CCleaner is the best diagnostics program ever. Download it now. It is an essential piece of software, even more so than an operating system.
Super PI - Super PI can be used to check system stability, especially when overclocking.
