During the process, I thought what I read was stating the application that was licensed only for one year and required an annual subscription. InstallationĪs I began the installation, I discovered my first – but short-lived – disappointment. This was another definite plus, as the “problem machine” I had planned for the first run was running Win2K and its condition was the result of many years of add/deleting software applications, surfing, and self-help fixing. Rounding out my initial observations was noticing that System Mechanic was advertised to work on Windows 2000 as well as the newer versions of Windows. Next was the revelation that this software was licensed to install on three different machines. That is a really nice touch, as there is usually a need to write something down during software installs or upgrades. I can assume that I know what has to happen or I can read the docs on the install disk, but having it right at hand is a big plus for me.įurthermore, there was a small (4″ x 5″) notepad included. When I opened the box, not only did I find the software, but also printed “get started” documentation – which in my book makes it much easier to install anything. If it were not for the fact that I was already familiar with the name, I would have most likely missed (or skipped) the chance to evaluate it – a situation that well-deserves to be corrected. Norton and McAfee are well-known names, but iolo is not. I have used it in the past (Version 3), and was happy with its system cleanup capabilities, so felt a review of the latest version might be useful.Ĭuriously, it is my impression that System Mechanic has not been as well advertised as perhaps it could be. I was recently given the opportunity to install, use and evaluate the newest version of iolo technologies’ System Mechanic (Version 9.5.8). As Dave Dunsmoor explains, System Mechanic looks “under the hood” and usually finds and solves the problem. When a computer slows down or becomes balky, it is often hard to know who to call for help – each hardware and software company will point at someone else.
