iolo - System Mechanic Pro, Computer Cleaner for Windows, Blocks Viruses and Spyware, Restores System Speed, Software License

My pc was having some problems and I hoped System Mechanic Pro would prove helpful. However, after installing it my problems increased. Returned it for store credit, which Amazon added to my account the same day I mailed the software back to them. I had used System Mechanic four or five years ago without any problems, but have different laptop now and diffrerent OS.

I have no idea what the people are doing that have left negative reviews. I have been using System Mechanic for at least 4 years now with no problems. It has in fact SAVED my when my computer unexpectedly crashed. I have also used it multiple operating systems (Windows 7,8 and Vista) with no problem. I always let it automatically fix the problems, and have never had a problem. I am moderately tech savvy, but by no means an expert and am able to easily maneuver the program. My workplace also uses this on all the computers which is how I first found it, and they have full confidence in it.

Very Good

This is a product that does exactly as described. Ive used it for several years. My favorite - makes your computer better than new

Not sure havent come across any.

The parent company was recently bought by another company and the product went to $#@&. You have to call them to activate and they want to take control of your pc. This is a clear scam warning sign. I wouldnt do it.

I like it very much. Runs in the background unnoticed.

Wish Id looked here before installing System Mechanic. Dell gave this to me as part of a maintenance contract. Well you get what you pay for, or actually worse, in this case. After installing System Mechanic, I let it clean up my computer. When I rebooted all of my printers were gone. This software is for more dangerous for your computer than anything it claims to fix! Luckily I had a system restore point to go back to.

Taking care of my computer is what I do and one of my former professor used this software and I thought he was crazy. I asked him you are training us on the most complex and integrate details of how an Operating System works. Why do you need this company to maintain your computer when you know we can do better ourselves because we know how a system operates as much as they would. He told me yes I can maintain my computer but how valuable is my time? If your spending an hour our so servicing your own computer thats time wasted from other things you can be doing. So I purchased this software and have been a customer for about 8 years now and found the best price on their new version at Amazon. Now when you are a customer at least in the past 5 years its cheaper to re-subscribe with the company after already having the software. Yes they bug you about new promotion to extend your time but after a while the software learns your not interested and you need to go to them when your ready. all in all its the most comprehensive amount of tools to protect and service your PC. Virus free for 5 years and some other measures I take as well like I tell my customers YouTube safe web surfing and their are great videos from colleagues of mine that are world recognized experts. The biggest reason they won 5 stars with me is the tools, the service, and customizable, as well as unlimited licenses for the entire household! You cant go wrong with a service that provides your family like mine with new PCs all the time and I can install this on all of them and mine is customized and controlled by me while my parents have it more on Auto pilot and I have peace of mind. Again I have learned as an IT expert that I cant keep up with every change and every update (with XP I could but I was a young and big headed then) This tool helps me utilize my time better and still lets me service my computer how I want to service it because only person I trust to maintain my computer is me and IOLO.

Be careful folks. Ive been using them for years. It worked. But their upgrades and installs are risky. Had this problem before, I just installed it on a new dell windows 10 computer. It crashed for no reason. On restart some loading program ran out of control, couldnt stop it. It used up all my CPU. Tried to un-install. No luck. There is no customer support either. Im rebuilding and looking for a replacement. Any ideas?
