How To
Boost your PC performance with this application
System Mechanic is a powerful system utility program suite that enables you to fix computer system issues and speed up your PC. Developed by iolo, this software is its flagship optimization solution which helps prevent various Windows security holes like unpatched codes leaving computers vulnerable to malware. It’s an all-in-one package that contains system-maintenance tools and performance-boosting features.
Lots of choices
This program’s core features focus on improving PC speed and fixing data errors like broken shortcuts and memory leaks. It offers advanced repair tools, as well as an assortment of other helpful cleaning utilities to keep your computer healthy. This PC tune-up application also has both automated actions to help keep your computer stable and clutter-free without your guidance, and real-time features to optimize system settings for any specific task at hand. Thus, you can get smoother streaming, more responsive gaming, and faster downloads and web-browsing.
The software’s interface is user-friendly and easily shows important actions you can do. There are five sections available on the left sidebar menu: Dashboard, Toolbox, ActiveCare, LiveBoost, and Security. The Dashboard immediately displays the Scan Now button, complete with the colored health meter and status update that you can often find in cleaning applications. You have the option to do a Quick Scan or a Deep Scan. Once it’s complete, all the issues found are listed and you can take action one-by-one or repair them all at once.The Toolbox section contains various utilities, such as the Registry Tuner, Startup Optimizer, All-in-One PC Cleanup, and NetBooster. They address problems like bloatware; malware; operating system, internet, and registry clutter; and running background apps bogging down your computer. ActiveCare allows you to set up automatic maintenance by configuring your preferred settings. Meanwhile, LiveBoost handles computer-processing for speed boosts. Its PowerSense feature switches power settings and processor modes in real-time when using certain heavy-duty applications. Lastly, Security offers an antivirus and a firewall.
True worldwide
System Mechanic is an eight-time winner of the PC Magazine Editors’ Choice Award and has been used by millions of people since 1998. It has been ranked as the best-selling software in its category within various countries by the NPD Group, a popular market research company—although it performs better as a PC performance booster. Its standard version has some core features available during the downloadable free trial, but will constantly advertise the Professional upgrade to keep using most of them.
Fortunately, iolo’s Whole Home License allows an unlimited number of personal computers to use the software. System Mechanic Professional has the base program and additional tools from iolo, including a dedicated antivirus. System Mechanic Ultimate Defense is the upgraded version of Professional, containing all utilities from the developer. System Mechanic Business, meanwhile, is designed for workplace use so you must buy a license for each PC—although the first one can cover 3 computers and there’s no need to upgrade to Pro.
A convenient package
As a PC tuner, this one offers tons of tools at your disposal. Most of them address specific problems related to your computer’s speed and overall performance so this program is great at that. You also get additional utilities that can improve your experience. While much of the cool features will be locked away for the Pro version, the core tools are still of great help to any user, no matter their expertise.

Promises protection but doesn't deliver.
For the last five months, System Mechanic has reported: Unable to connect and update virus and spyware definitions. The last definitions date was February 12, 201, 20:26, so my computer is obviously not protected! Multiple complaints filed with IOLO have not led to a working solution. More

System Mechanic is the only system maintenance software you need..
I have now been using System Mechanic Pro since 2004 and find it a real asset. I simply have it setup to keep the system in check with not only Malware Scanning but defragging of hard discs and memory, fixing shortcuts, repairing registry errors and the like. It simply keeps the PC humming along beautifully all without me lifting a finger. On top of this the cost of the package is very reasonable and as an overall system maintenance suite I believe it is absolutely brilliant.
Cons:
The antivirus daily updates seem to be slow and could possibly be improved somehow. More
