> 3 dayHave had it for many years and was pretty good, but the updated version is hard to use. The virus updates are set to automatic, but sometimes they do not update for 2 weeks. Installed latest software update and now it says definitions have not been updated since August of 2022. There is no way to click update as it is set to automatic. If I click update software, it says up to date--except the expired definitions remain. Font is small and is hard to read. Cannot be enlarged. Todays update turned Active Care off and it cant be turned on. Seems to have lost some fingerprinting functionality. User controls have been reduced. Not sure why they made the changes, but the value is degraded. Seems like the quality of the software is declining.

> 3 dayThis software used to be for unlimited devices within your home, now, once I added a year, they deactivated the license on all but three of my home computers and all my mobile devices. They no longer state the license terms on their website. This is deceptive and very sneaky. I used to love System Mechanic, not it just hit rock bottom on my list.

> 3 dayI really appreciate this products drive cleaners, and the antivirus seems to be keeping the computer in good shape. When it is analyzing or cleaning, you cant do much else on the computer as it seriously slows it down. Sometimes when you open it, or when you install a customary update, it opens the product as though for the first time, and you have to do all the system analyses, etc. In the middle of the day this is really bothersome. It stops your computer in its tracks.
