I am honestly very pleased with System Mechanic's optimizer. It's considerably fast-paced; scanned my files in under a minute and immediately notified me of all the files that were preventing my system from performing optimally. It's very convenient to get your PC up and running so that you can get along with your job and minimize time wastage which is often the result of a slow PC. I highly recommend this software.
I was a bit skeptic about my friend's recommendation of Iolo's new System Mechanic Ultimate Defence since my prior experience concluded that mostly my system worked fine before downloading any kind of PC Cleanup tool. However I gave it a try and was pleasantly surprised at the number of features the package offers, each tool being quite straight forward and easy-to-use. The thing I liked best was the level of detail provided by each scan result. One thing that bugged me though was that some of the tools did not have one-click fixes and needed to be corrected manually. Other than that I could not find any fault in Iolo's System Suite. Highly recommended.
For someone who is far from an expert in this sector, it is important to me that the software and interface is simple to use, which it is. The service runs smoothly, does exactly what it says on the tin, and goes above and beyond what I expected when purchasing.
In May I paid for a premium version of their System Mechanic software. In early July an upgrade was issued. When first installed, the program could only be found in the remove programs setting in the control panel.
Reinstalled, same problem. Now I won't install at all. Waste of money. And on their webpage they admit they have problems with the installation of the software and will fix it some.
Since I have paid for the program and now can't use it, I will not renew.
Stay away from this one, folks.
Bought a System Mechanic Pro disc to fix some issues I was having with my computer. The disc wouldn't load so I called their tech support number. All they wanted to do was sell me a service for $100 to fix the problem. I told them that I didn't want to pay $100 to make the software I had just spent $40 on work and I wanted a refund. That was March 19th. It took me until April 6th to get them to respond. At that point they wanted a copy of my receipt which I faxed to them. It took several days for them to acknowledge they received it and then several more days to finally send me the return instructions and authorization number. I sent the item back, it took them a week after they received it to acknowledge that fact (I have the delivery receipt from the shipper). Bottom line is today is May 5th and I still have no idea if or when I will see my money back which will be less the tax I paid for the item and the shipping charges..
