CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET staff on June 01, 2009
This system maintenance program gives you all the tools for ridding your computer of clutter and problematic files. Normally, we'd write off a program that only offers a measly 3-day trial period, but we were left impressed after experiencing its fully functional trial.
System Mechanic Professional has a very professional, intuitive user interface. We were able to jump right in and the process required us merely to click the Scan button to find any problems. The program very quickly recognized several registry, memory, and startup issues with our system. We liked that the program gave us the option of viewing and manually selecting the problems we wanted to fix before proceeding. A wizard is offered with almost every repair to walk you through the process. We half expected to receive a trial limitation message preventing us from fixing all of the found problems, but that proved not to be the case. Our registry and memory errors were removed, and our memory was optimized. The program offers its own Internet security options, but it worked well with the antivirus and firewall programs we already had installed on our computer.
A built-in Help feature is available should you need it. Updates are available for immediate download, but other than extending the trial period, we can't think of any changes we'd make to the program. Novice users should beware of any program that alters your registry, but more experienced users will appreciate this comprehensive optimization program.

Pros: Everything.
Cons: Absolutely nothing.
Summary: I'm a bit skeptical of most anything these days, & I don't fill out many of these surveys or reviews. Matter of fact, I believe this is the first one that I can remember.
I've tried them all.

Version: System Mechanic Professional 9.0.4
"Superb - Fixes everything. Just buy it!"
Pros: I've used several utilities to keep my small business PC/system running w/ XP. By FAR, System Mechanic is the best app I've seen to keep things running well. In one package, it handles both hardware and software maintenance easily.
Cons: Consider making the duplicate finder/fixer easier to use.
Summary: I've bought and sent copies of System Mechanic to my family and friends. This product is the ONE you need....especially for the systems that use XP -- 75%+ of them around the planet..
