Iolo System Mechanic Pro Editor's Review

When you use computers for personal or professional needs, it becomes essential to use several third party apps to keep the PC running in top shape. From system security tools to performance tweaking app, you may need to install and use several such apps. There are several PC performance boosting and maintenance tools that you can use. Iolo System Mechanic pro is one potent example in this regard and it has been used by millions of PC users for quite some time. This is a versatile utility that does more than just enhancing the speed of your computer. It doubles up as hard drive defragmenter and system threat monitor.

Iolo System Mechanic Pro runs on PCs that have windows XP and later versions of operating systems installed. As long as you are not a commercial user, you can install the app on unlimited number of computers, which is bliss for users with multiple computers. The interface of its new version is not much changed from predecessors and it looks streamlined. The app installs a widget on your desktop during installation. It lets you run a quick PC scan to identify factors slowing down performance and potential system threats etc.

Upon first launch, the users are provided with useful information on new features and links to tutorials. When you proceed to the app’s main screen, a prompt for first system analysis will show up. You can either choose a deep analysis that scans the PC for all problems or go for a quick analysis that gets over in minutes. The left side pane section of this app and overall interface is designed in a user friendly manner. Upon system analysis, you can let System Mechanic fix everything automatically or get the details and choose what sections should be fixed. However, for some detected problems it does not allow the user to see the details. After the repair is done, you are likely to be asked to restart the PC.

The app uses a color based problem marking system and serious system and app problems are marked in red. The deep analysis can take a long time if you keep its hard drive scan enabled. Upon completion, the app shows apps it considers redundant for you system and also points out driver updates. It offers a utility, CRUDD Remover, to get rid of such apps fast. It will also recommend you to disable startup items to speed up system boot timing.

The PC TotalCare utility in System Mechanic pro runs a series of optimizations and performs additional fixes to enhance overall system speed and performance. It defragments registry, cleans up temporary files from the computer. Its functions overlap with that of System analysis to an extent and this can baffle first time users. There is an included utility Netbooster which does not make internet connection much faster though.

You also get three other utilities bundled with System Mechanic pro and they are SystemShield, DriveScrubber and Search and Recover. DriveScrubber is meant for wiping away data quickly. Search and Recover is ideal for finding files and data accidentally deleted by you from the hard disk. SystemShield is basically a security app meant for eradicating malware and preventing virus attacks. It is not compatible with third party standalone security apps though. These utilities are quite useful and save you money that will otherwise be needed to buy other third party apps.

System Mechanic pro offers a feature named ActiveCare which is meant for maintaining the PC automatically when you are not working. It runs silently in the background and repairs hard disk flaws, registry errors, optimizes startup and eliminates temporary files. You can customize the tasks in ActiveCare as well. The Reports section offers you real time insight into system health and processes.

At times, performing a cleanup or set of actions can actually degrade PC performance. To cope with such events, System Mechanic pro has a feature named SafetyNet which allows users to revert and undo its actions that led to the problem. The app also offers several bundled performance boosting tools such as Program Accelerator, AcceleWrite and IntelliStatus which cater to needs of advanced PC users.

When it comes to both synthetic and real world benchmarking, System Mechanic pro scores reasonably well. Upon using the app, PCs show enhanced score in synthetic benchmarking tools like Geekbench and system boot time also improves visibly. It scores among the top contenders in this segment but there are a few rivals apps that score a tad better. After running the app to optimize system, you will see significant speed boost in app launch, especially for media centric apps that hog resources.

Positive Points:
 -   Intuitive Interface, Wide OS compatibility.
 -   Useful PC performance enhancement tools and maintenance apps.
 -   Unlimited PC installation possible.
 -   Perceptible system speed improvement.

Negative Points:
 -   Some app settings seem confusing and repeated.
 -   Not the top performer in its segment.
 -   Some bundled utilities like Netbooster perform average.

Conclusion:
Iolo System Mechanic pro offers comprehensive PC tune-up and maintenance solutions for all type of users. It is pricier than some of the category contenders but included features are aplenty. The option to install it on multiple PCs for non- commercial usage is sheer bliss. The tools for optimizing hard disk data and registry cleaning are useful as is the additional data backup provision. The Pro version also packs in an anti virus tool. However, there are a few small caveats that stop System Mechanic from becoming the category leading app, albeit by a small margin. There are some rival apps that race ahead in performance and some of its utilities give average performance.

Rating: 4/5
