I was not too impressed with the result I got with this. The price is definitely attractive but I'm not sure it made me feel as though my computer was fully protected.

4.0 out of 5 stars Does a better than average job of PC tune up
Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2010
First let me say that I have been a long time user of System Mechanic, since version 3.0. I am using Version 9.5, on a windows 7 machine and it does a good job of finding and removing system clutter. However it seems that nearly every time that you run the registry mechanic it finds something that needs to be repaired. Unless you install and un-install programs a lot his normally is should not be the case. The memory defragger is very good and improved over previous versions. The net booster, I could not tell any difference in Internet download or upload speeds after running it and rebooting my PC per instructions. The energy boost tool does a decent job of finding and turning off unnecessary background processes to free up memory. The disk defragger is faster than the one built into windows. All in all a solid but not stellar program.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Buy and upgrades to 11.5 without extra cost
Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2012
I've been using the System Mechanic system for a few years now on my own computers as well as friends. Its simple to clean the registry and re-gain
lost space. It also does a good job to remove broken links and old software. I've never had it fail or cause a problem. In fact after running it
my system runs faster. You can get a 30 day free trial from the iolo site and try it first. This product can be installed on 3 computers at the
same time, it will upgrade to the latest version for no extra charge so no worries about which version it is. Highly Recommended for those who
have little to no computer experience and want their system checked and fine tuned.

I've used System Mechanic Pro for years without many incidents yet now I have to say, SAVE your $$$$$.

We use it on 5 systems. I use on my two and my wife uses it on her 3.
We're running Win XP (32 bit) and Win XP 64 pro.

My wife renewed her license and got a cd which covers her 3 and also to be nice to me, paid for my renewal. Now we're both screwed.
She can't enter her new code for her 3 units and then the following happened to me.

A new issue came up on my systems. When your year is up they spam the crap out of you until you renew. So I renewed where the deal was $20 and get an extra 3 months free. No fine print or other indication of what was coming. The only thing is my wife paid for it.

So they have her credit card info....and now instead of showing an additional 15 months on my system
It's says I'm now on their instant renewal program with no control over how and when they charge me which is what I've always had in the past.

After numerous contacts with customer service and no end in sight to resolve either issue, we're doing a chargeback and shipping them back their crap.
I'll uninstall it when I get the Uniblue software downloaded and installed in the next day or so.

Further, at almost every single boot, the program isn't working properly now anyways since I upgraded to the newest version. Their firewall and antivirus is crap and has been ever since they stopped using Panda years ago. So you do NOT want to use what they provide. I suspect my issue is that the software no longer functions properly for XP Pro 64. I did try it on a Win 7 Pro 64 system and I was not impressed with it either.

Their customer service is now practically non-existant.

Their drive defragmenter is no better than Windows' and I suspect it just piggybacks and uses theirs which is already on my system. Same goes for HD errors.
You can have the latest and fastest custom built computer with 8 gb of ram and it'll still take around 36-48 hours to use their serious defragger. The first year I used their heavy duty Defragger which moves ALL files forward, it only took a couple hours It ROCKED. Good Go was it terrific. Then with their next version and I'm looking on my shelf and I see that was probably '04, it went to crap and has stayed there ever since and is a pain to use since your drive doesn't stay that way.

So we're going to get a refund one way or another and I'll be switching to Uniblue.
[...]
Their powersuite product has a driver update utility and is compatible with ALL Windows EXCEPT Win 7- 64 bit OS's
At least Uniblue tells you this upfront.
I'm sure they'll be upgrading to resolve this as they do have an outstanding product which appears to have better utilities than Iolo when I evaluated just exactly what (for example) their Registry Cleaner does. It's definitely better than Iolo's product. So for $59.95 spread over 2 or 3 PC's, it's worth it to me.

It's what I used to pay for System Mechanic Pro anyways when it was great software with great tech & customer support. So just maybe I'm getting what I pay for. At least Uniblue provides me a number right up front to call with questions etc, JUST LIKE IOLO used to do....but no more.

Unlike some others who had issues with System Mechanic 9 Pro, I didn't.
Where issues began was when it upgraded (no charge) from 9.5 to 10.0

Both their tech & customer support stink now.
The person who did eventually reply just today by email during our latest issue had obvious problems with English and gave a canned spam type of answer
I say this after having used their best software for 8+ years.

I can say for a fact that you used to be able to actually speak with someone here in the USA and I believe the techs & email support people were here.
Not anymore.

So save your money.

I use this program daily, and it works as advertised. In addition, upuates are automatic not only with tune-up definitions but with upgrades of the product as well.

1.0 out of 5 stars Crap, STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!!!

I have used SM for the last few years but recently upgraded to pro when I got my new laptop. BIG MISTAKE! Nothing but blue screen of death, virus warnings and registry issues. My mouse doesn't work at all anymore, my other mouse now only works half the time, I can't hardly open the internet without the blue screen popping up. It deleted some major files that are impossible to get back. the worst part is when you call support you can't understand a word anyone is saying. Do not buy this EVER!
