You also get LiveBoost, which adjusts dozens of Windows settings automatically for improved speed and performance. Advanced tuningīoth System Mechanic and System Mechanic Pro offer a dedicated internet speed booster a privacy cleaner to erase all traces of your browsing and chat history and a registry optimization tool that defrags, compresses and backs up your system registry. In summary - dodgy software and updates - abysmal response time - totally incompetent support staff.Once the scan has finished (which doesn't take long), you can delete everything it's identified with one more click, or drill down through the results to see exactly what it's found and why you should consider deleting it, helping you make an informed decision.Īfter the initial cleanup, System Mechanic's ActiveCare tool keeps everything running smoothly by carrying out the same cleanup whenever your PC is idle. Pros: Was good but recently I have had several bad experiences The fact that I could not even run Windows XP seemed to have been ignored by their incompetent support technician called Mark S. Today, 28 December, 9 days later, I get an inane support response suggesting I run 'Safety Net' that is an option on the System Mechanic start-up screen. After many tries to fix the problem including chkdsk and a repair of XP, I had to revert three times to my most recent backup, which happened to be a disk clone.I sent an URGENT request for help to Iolo on 19 December clearly stating that XP would not start. I gather it was an update to Version 10.7.6.After running the suggested fixes which required a reboot Windows XP could not get past the screen that appears before User is selected. System Mechanic went to it's website to load updates and installed them. On 19th Dec 2011 I ran System Mechanic Professional which I have used for many years fo r virus protection and to tune-up Windows XP Service Pack 3. Was good but now keep awayfrom IOLO and SYSTEM MECHANIC. By Anonymous reviewed on December 28, 2011
