  Duration of ownership: 5 Years

  Strengths: Transparency and ease of use.

  Weaknesses: Occasionally will slow down processing to do it's job.

  Overall Evaluation: System Mechanic is a sound investment for the novice or IT PRO. I have used it for years on my PCs. Granted a PC will never be as trouble free as my MACs. With System Mechanic running on my PCs they consistently run like they were new. System Mechanic runs virtually transparent, if an IT PRO wants to dig in and explore the interface is very user friendly. Keep up the good work. I will continue to use System Mechanic as long as I continue to use PCs. Al

  Duration of ownership: 5 Years

  Strengths: Easy installation, almost runs itself.

  Weaknesses: None at this time.

  Overall Evaluation: I have used this product for a few years. I like the way I can now set up the automated tasks to continually keep my computer running smooth. Also, the all-in-one tools are a fast way to recover RAM and disk space. I do not worry about registry problems any longer.

  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 can’t 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 – 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!)
