Was supposed to be the installation CD, but its just the download. I hate this!

Product interfered with alternate online email access(es).

As a user of Iolo software for more than twenty years, I find that Iolo provides the worst possible customer service. The software I purchased, System Mechanic Ultimate Defense, constantly reminds me to extend my subscription years ahead. When I took advantage of a $9.95 one year extension, Iolo also charged an additional $19.95 for tech support I neither wanted nor used. At my request, my credit card company reversed the $19.95 charge. Iolo then BLACKLISTED me, cancelled my subscription and refused to discuss the matter. Any other software provider must be better, even Microsoft.

Why doesnt Iolo provide the software key via a link or email like other developers? I waited for shipping and received a box which I thought contained a disc. All that was inside was a piece of paper with the software key! What a waste of packaging and shipping!

This software used to be for unlimited devices within your home, now, once I added a year, they deactivated the license on all but three of my home computers and all my mobile devices. They no longer state the license terms on their website. This is deceptive and very sneaky. I used to love System Mechanic, not it just hit rock bottom on my list.

I really appreciate this products drive cleaners, and the antivirus seems to be keeping the computer in good shape. When it is analyzing or cleaning, you cant do much else on the computer as it seriously slows it down. Sometimes when you open it, or when you install a customary update, it opens the product as though for the first time, and you have to do all the system analyses, etc. In the middle of the day this is really bothersome. It stops your computer in its tracks.

After installation it reports things which have already been addressed and repaired as though they havent been looked at at all. Turns out that this is pretty much useless software as it is a combination of things already available from most PC Manufactures and from Microsoft for FREE.

This is a good product to use for general maintenance and keep your computer running smoothly, But apon buying this product you will have to activate the product that involves Dealing with a dicey scam to intentionally mess up your email so they can show you a presentation to up sell you on a number of products. Any Good Reputation I have of them has been ruined. B
