iolo - System Mechanic Pro, Computer Cleaner for Windows, Blocks Viruses and Spyware, Restores System Speed, Software License

This works real well, i have had this package earlier.

Often freezes when partially in the process. Looks impressive with the number if tools but I could not get many to complete. I also noticed that it freezes if another software starts up. I have required RAM but seems to need more.

Installed but would not actvate

Too many annoying and distracting popups wanting user to extend time and advertisements for all of the other products IOLO are trying to sell you. Support said that there was nothing that could be done to eliminate or remove the annoying popups. Definitely not the fastest PC cleanup utility, might be OK if a person has a lot of time and doesnt mind waiting.

got it in perfect timing.

Updates required activation code re entry. Renewal process messed up my computer. Followed instructions and the program never opened and could not be deleted. Contacted tech support number and it is a wierd 1970s sounding recording with old music. Got put on hold for a long time and tech came on, but phone connection was full of static and fragments. Could not communicate due to breaks in line. Sounded like a 2-way radio connection. Tried on line ticket and got no response on it. Searched and found information about many others with similar problems. Restored my computer to previous point in time to get the program off of my computer. Seems like product is kind of homeade and company is far away in China possibly, or India. Their web site has a big warning about imposters stealing info and calling people who have purchased the product to steal and defraud people. There may be undisclosed breaches of customer data. Otherwise, the product did work for me for quite awhile without much problems. The renewal process is what messed it up.

Just did not like...removed from system

I like setting up system mechanic Pro to run by itself because I really do not have the time to try and take care of what system mechanic is designed to do. I have been using system mechanic for several years now and I am very satisfied and confident with this product. Although any time you make changes to your system you should always check system mechanic for any reviews. I recommend system mechanic Pro to novice or advanced PC users. I believe at any level of PC user you can feel confident that system mechanic Pro does what it says it will do. Thank you

Installing System Mechanic destroyed my computer. It corrupted my registry. It deleted all my Windows 7 restore points. I was unable to access any of my files. Even though IOLO customer service acknowledged their software was responsible for rendering my computer useless, they claimed they have a clause in their license agreement that holds them harmless for any damage caused by their software. They refused to pay the $120 it cost me to have Tiger Direct format my hard drives. All my files were lost. I had two mirrored hard drives mirrored with RAID 1. Both drives were rendered useless.

I really like the interface on this software. It is very descriptive especially on things like programs in the start menu and what they are/do. My system really smoked when I first got it, and guess what, it still SMOKES!!!!!! I was able to get a good deal on a year extension and upgrade to the new version. So far, Im very satisfied with this program and would highly recommend it.
