Strengths: It works as advertised. I have used many over the years and this is THE best. The newest version is even better.
Weaknesses: Few and minor/if anyone has problems with this software they need to simply turn off the auto features after first reading the How to use this Software. Problem occur when using several firewalls and or more than one anti virus program as with any software.
Overall Evaluation: Iolo System Mechanic has been the most useful software I have found. For the past year, I have used it and to my delight, it has kept my computer tuned up and running like new. I had purchased the software through Dell but when my subscription ran out, I could not find it at Dell. I went to the source at iolo and purchased three licenses for the price I was paying for one. Anyone who is having issues with their computer, the blue screen of death, crazy errors that you canât seem to repair, slow performance and signs that your computer is near trashing, you need iolo System Mechanic. They now have an even better version and have added products such as Drive Scrubber and anti-virus products. You have to use these products to appreciate just how well they work and how easy they are to use. They asked if I would recommend their products â you bet. I have tried a dozen products over the years; iolo is by far the best! I rely on my computer, do you? Richard Ware Shreveport, LA.

Strengths: I couldn't find any
Weaknesses: Pretty much everything, and I'm generally somebody who tries to find something good about everything
Overall Evaluation: I bought the boxed version of this software a year or two ago, and all it ever did was make my computer run worse and slow things down -- and mess things up -- and constantly want to run routines at startup that slowed me down. I eventually uninstalled it and chalked it up to experience. I recently had someone from a computer forum email me with similar problems with the software, and I recommended they do the same. I DON'T think PCWorld should be featuring this software in its emails (it REALLY makes it question the validity of your recommendations!)

Strengths: fire and forget automation
Weaknesses: I don't like the licensing. I used previous version and didn't have to pay to keep it activated. I like Fix it Utilities better but it interferes with Utorrent.
Overall Evaluation: If you want to keep paying every couple of months go ahead. I'll keep looking for freeware. http://alternativeto.net/desktop/system-mechanic/

Weaknesses: In all the years I have used it, I can not name any weaknesses.
Overall Evaluation: It is the best software for PC maintenance.
