iolo - System Mechanic Ultimate Defense Antivirus Software and Malware, Protection & Privacy

Product interfered with alternate online email access(es).

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

I purchased from iolo direct and have found that the features from the Pro version are now on this Ultimate version for a lot more money. This is a scam because if you buy the pro version they want you to upgrade to the new version and it is the same as what you already have. They seem to be having the GREED problem. I would not advise purchasing as you wont get what you think, or it wont work for long.

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.
