iolo - System Mechanic, Fix & Speed Up Your PC Automatically With Award Winning Software Solution

Personally, it seems time after time, that we do need more security software to keep our computers at the fullest value possible. This is why it is more recommended that we get antivirus and spyware protective software. But getting utility software to protect our computers from hackers is just as important. But trying to find the right one is much easier said than done, and some of them damage other pieces of software. That is the case with System Mechanic. This software can work a little too well. The software does work nicely at cleaning the computer and making it run much faster. But, it could also damage other software in the process. For example, it de-fragmented my Vipre Antivirus software so badly, it left my computer vulnerable to hackers. As a result, I had to buy another antivirus software so this wouldnt happen again. So personally, I would recommend this software, only in the most extreme cases. Other than that, you would be better off with a brand like Win Cleaner instead.

I bought this because I was led to believe Id receive a CD. Instead, all that was in the box was a piece of cardboard with a long number on it.

Didnt want to install on my laptop but works great on my desktop

Keeps my PCs running fast and well. Doesnt seem to conflict with my antivirus or other software. Glad I got it.

On more than one occasion this software, over time, removed critical files that caused me to wipe the laptop and start over to regain critical operating files. Every single version of this software (since v10-12) removes critical files - such as system restore points (even those manually created) to restore your system in the event of a failure. If you also use Norton (ID safe or other Symantec products), this software uninstalls the temp files, updates, and backed up files. This software occasionally changes the properties of files - such as the print spooler -- by uninstalling or relegating it to a status where it doesnt start. You will have to manually go in and change that status back to proper start group. It also removes critical extension files of your downloaded software by deeming them irrelevant or space-wasting files. The software does help bring your system connectivity back to optimal speed with efficiency. Its just too aggressive and error-prone when it comes to assessing the actual files it ought to support rather than remove/alter. Needs better algorithms.

This software has salvaged my desktop and my daughters laptop from the rubbish pile. You can either reinstall an OS, a painful process, or you can run all the tools in System Mechanic a restore a computer to good health. My daughters laptop took 15 minutes to boot up before running System mechanic. afterwards it booted in minutes and I no longer hear her complaining that it forgets it is a computer.

I use it on 5 units. I think it works great.

My computer was so sluggish that it seem to take forever for my pages to load. Some would time out cause it took so long. But since day one of installing iolo on my computer, I was amazed how much faster everything I needed or wanted to do was! It cleaned out all the junk that was slowing my computer down and it was so easy to install and use!Best decision I have made!!!
