iolo - System Mechanic, Fix & Speed Up Your PC Automatically With Award Winning Software Solution

It works well, but only made minor improvements in my PCs performance. But I have Windows 8 and theres not much you can do to fix that.

I have purchased the last 2 years from Target stores. These are supposed to be unlimited devices for a year. I have 8 computers and 3 laptops. So after my adding this to my 8 computers. I tried to download this unto my 3 laptops but could not. The CD said that my key was no longer valid and I needed to purchase a new one. I tried many times contacting a customer service address provided. But I never got thru, all I got was a link to F.A.Q. and that was it! So I will never use this software ever again and think it will be for unlimited devices! It works ok for the 8 computers I have. But as long as there are no problems and glitches it is at best ok to use. $40 wasted and I want to let others know also.

Installing System Mechanic Professional 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.

Although the product seems to work, I have found it impossible to get any technical support via mail or phone.

TOTAL JUNK SOFTWARE

System Mechanic is a good program, Ive been using it for several years now and have only had a couple of negative affects on the many systems I have used it on and all of those issues were easily fixed. Overall I am pretty well pleased with this software but as with any software its not full proof and doesnt solve everything. I use System Mechanic with a combonation of CCleaner, Malwarebytes and a few other utilities. Also, for home use IOLO has takin away the licensing limit and now offer Whole Home Licensing, as long as the computer isnt used for business purposes you can use the same license as many times as you like on all of the computers in your home.

I have been using Sys Mech for well over 5 years. I usually renew my license ahead of time and was paid up thru Jan of 2025. My PC is about 5 years old and it has been really slow and cumbersome. I have high speed internet and it takes forever to load pages. I just figured it was an old PC. Recently Sys Mech blocked one of my system files and said it was a virus. Now several of my programs will not function. That file was required for them to work. The people at the help number said I needed to have their Tech service at $20 a month to assist me. REALLY? So they basically said without that service, they couldnt help. The last time I renewed for one year, they apparently automatically signed me up for that service. I had to go thru my credit card company to remove that first charge and cancel that service. So now what? I uninstalled Sys Mech and reloaded Win 10 and holy cow, My PC now flys like the Concord. Webpages load almost instantaneously, the PC is faster then I can ever remember. ALL OF MY ISSUES seemed to have been caused by this program. SO YES ... BEWARE. Look for Google reviews about problems and fraud complaints about this company. They USED to be good. (NOTE: 3 years of prepaid licensing to 2025 is down the tubes)

Didn’t fix all problems
