Top Notch Program
My computer has never been in better health, since I started using System Mechanic Professional my computer runs fast and smooth. It never freezes or crashes and iolo system sheild is always on the ball protecting my computer. Whenever there is a threat or a problem I know right away and it can be fixed before its too late.

A strong, effective suite
Pros: wide-ranging collection of tools, user choice over which fixes are made, it works!

Over the years, I have occasionally purchased PC optimization software suites, but never experienced sufficient benefit from them to convince me either to continue their subscriptions or even keep the packages installed. A couple of serious malware infestations, some glowing third-party reviews, and a timely coupon offer from iolo Technologies led me to try out version 9.5 of System Mechanic Pro. I am completely satisfied with the results.

System Mechanic Pro is a wide-ranging suite of tools that inspect, report, and offer to improve the condition of your PC in several consequential ways. From disk drives to Internet settings, from the Windows registry to the boot and start-up processes, System Mechanic investigates and offers to repair items that most PC users have heard about, but don’t want to mess with.

Via an ingenious approach called “Tune-Up Definitions,” the suite analyzes your PC with the latest available insights into what produces system slowdowns. In as little as a few clicks and minutes, System Mechanic Pro reports and offers to fix its discoveries. Problem details are available, but with use, the suite engenders such user confidence, that the “Repair now” button will be the choice of many.

The bottom line, of course, is performance. System Mechanic Pro has performed flawlessly and productively on all three machines on which I have installed it (two Windows XP systems, and a Windows 7, 64-bit machine). One of the XP installations was particularly sluggish before I unleashed System Mechanic; today it runs like new. The suite works without issue in the Windows 7, 64-bit environment.

Without hesitation or reservation, I recommend System Mechanic Pro.

GREATEST PRODUCT EVER
Pros: easy to use, features, Performance, value for money

I recently upgraded from system mechanic, which I have owned for years, to system mechanic pro. This is the best product I have ever bought. I cleans my computer from top to bottom and has a built in antivirus and firewall. i would highly recommend the product to anyone who would like to make cleaning their machine easy.

System Mechanic Pro Is Great
Pros: easy to use, features, Performance, value for money, simple for seniors

I, as a Senior citizen, did not grow up with our amazing computers and I have always depended upon others for help in keeping my computer in top shape. I kept seeing ads for numerous programs and after much research about 7 months ago I decided to purchase System Mechanic Pro. That was the best decision I have made. I found SMP very easy and simple to use and the results have been amazing.
Here is all I have to do, once it is installed and analyzes my system:
1. I click the desktop icon
2. I click "View Problems"
3. I click "Repair All"
That's it, so simple I can use it and be confident that my computer problems have been repaired. I like to view the problems about once per week which is enough since I don't use my computer probably as much as some of you do. Check it out for the sake of your computer as I did. After seven months I have found no negatives to tell you about.

Finally, Something That Really Works
Pros: easy to use, features, Performance, value for money, design

I was very pleased with System Mechanic. It does everything they say it will. Actually, I couldn't believe how well it works !!! I am a club DJ and I have to have pc's that are fast and don't freeze. It's the only program I have ever used that when I defragment the hard drive it reports that there are no fragmented files almost 80% of the time !!! I've never had that happen before on pc's I use a lot. You will not be disappointed with System Mechanic.

Pros:

Cleans registry, temp files. Basically, It keeps my pc's running as fast as when they were new. Defragments memory. Fast running which is a big plus.

Cons :

So far, I haven't found any... That was the biggest surprise !

Best Antivirus
I love iolo. I just recently started using the anti-virus and firewall. Previously I had used Mcafee for years. Still even have 3 years of subscription left with them. I was having some real problems with my computer and even with using the rest of system mechanic was still having issues. I decided to go for it and changed 2 things. First of all I went to firefox for my browser and secondly I changed to Iolo for my antivirus. I am so glad I made these 2 changes, the best one was iolo. My computer is running great. Thank you

Version 8.5 Vista & x64 compatible!
Pros: easy to use, features, Performance, value for money, awesome for novices
Cons: x64 features still on the way

I have used Iolo products for years (primarily their Mobile System Mechanic version), but have now purchased System Mechanic Pro 8.5 because I can at last use it on all my PCs at home. It is still still a bit limited in 64-bit versions of Windows - no firewall in particular, but they do promise full compatibility soon. I look forward to this eagerly because the program does a very good job protecting computers with little or no user input required while experienced users can have as much control as they would like. I have experienced little or no system performance impact - and I am very picky and notice the little things!!! I recommend this program to any and all.

Great Tune Up & Antivirus Product
Pros: easy to use, features, Performance, value for money

The combination of antivirus and tune up features are awesome... I love the way the firewall, tune up features and antivirus all work together... You can set the features the way you want them or let the product do it for you... I am glad that there is now finally an antivirus and tune up tool in one simple, easy to use package...

Pros: easy to use, features, Performance, value for money

Keeps your PC healthy, does thing for you, you don't even think to do! I was having serious problems, Blue screens of Death, hijacked home pages,and bogged down memory to name a few! System Mechanic solved them and others; I can't say enough good thingsabout the product, you have to at least try it!
