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

I bought a used Compaq Presario CQ62 from my good friend after he had bought a touch screen tablet. He complained about this laptop being way too slow. At that time, my old laptop was dead. The hard drive went bad on it and I really didnt want to waste money installing another hard drive, so I bought his Compaq laptop. Besides deleting a whole lot of security and anti-virus programs on it, I bought and installed System Mechanic Professional and Im telling you, it works miracles. This former tired, rundown laptop is now running like new and Ive not had a single issue with my laptop. Dont waste your money on Fix It programs. Theyre no good. Buy this. Highly recommended. Dont pay any attention to the negative comments on here because its likely these customers dont know what theyre talking about.

I have no idea what the people are doing that have left negative reviews. I have been using System Mechanic for at least 4 years now with no problems. It has in fact SAVED my when my computer unexpectedly crashed. I have also used it multiple operating systems (Windows 7,8 and Vista) with no problem. I always let it automatically fix the problems, and have never had a problem. I am moderately tech savvy, but by no means an expert and am able to easily maneuver the program. My workplace also uses this on all the computers which is how I first found it, and they have full confidence in it.

Most poor reviews are from user error. You can mess up your pc if you dont know what you are doing be careful. If you dont know something read the Help section or ask a professional for advice. Anyways, this product is great I have it on my laptop and desktop. I run it along with the antivirus. I got an adobe adware on my laptop. I was able to remove it by going back to my backup point and removing it. In addition, Keeps my laptop running up to speed and pretty much like brand new. Keeps all the system clutter away. Only sad thing is somehow my Itunes music got messed up but I think that is something else becuase I checked the delete history tool this program has and there is no music deleted. Other than the majors has so many different tools to use. I have used for several years and will continue. I have my money worth out of this product for sure.

Ive used System Mechanic before and really liked it. But the last update includes PHOENIX 360 which deletes all browser passwords, even when the user unchecks the appropriate boxes to prevent this from happening. I emailed IOLO Dec 25, received a case number from them, then nothing. No response. Called them today, Jan 10. On hold over 25 minutes then the phone line was disconnected. Checked the LA BBB office and see they have many complaints about customer service and the product. Until PHOENIX is fixed, do not use this product. By the way, I cant get anyone to authorize a refund, so I am out some money. Save yours. Dont buy IOLO System Mechanic

I love SM adn SMP, have had great success with them but they do bug me as they change my screen resolution. I wish it would leave that alone but it is still great.

Not sure havent come across any.

Ive used this product almost since the first version. Back then it was the best of a few available all in one programs. It was relatively easy to use and gave some positive feedback after a task was completed. However, in the past few years it has gotten to be slow, bloated, and desperately monetized. Initially, it was just the constant attempt to get me to buy more time. Then it was the constant barrage of spam trying to get me to upgrade and buy more time. Then features that had been included stopped being included. One example is the duplicate file finder which never worked properly (which is probably why it was dropped); another is the driver monitor and downloader--which also never worked right. Now they are pushing to upgrade to their Ultimate Defense.

Ok

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.

Keep being notified of upgrades and additional features for a cost of course.
