Reviewed by: CNET Staff
As with any machine, your PC needs regular tune-ups to maintain peak performance. This virtual toolbox can enhance the speed, safety, and power of your computer with a wide range of functions and an extensive help system.
System Mechanic performs cleanup, optimization, and privacy protection with equal agility. As with similar tune-up utilities, it enables you to clean up your registry, remove junk files, and customize hidden settings to improve performance. The app has additional tools for removing spyware and for defragmenting your hard drive, eliminating the need for multiple utility programs. There is an undo function that restores your system to its previous state, but its hidden in the SafetyNet tab and doesn't allow you to bring back one item at a time. The program also lacks a system profiler.
The bottom line, however, is that System Mechanic is one of the most complete, effective, and easy-to-use tune-up utilities we've seen to date.

Version: System Mechanic 7.1.6
Pros: ALL IN ONE DEVICE - NOT A BAD IDEA. CONSTANT REVIEW OF SYSTEM WHICH AGAIN IS QUIET USEFUL.
Cons: LARGE DRAG ON SYSTEM. COMPANY NOT INTERESTED IN PRODUCT CRASH WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO GET REPLACEMENT REGISTRY FILES TO RECOGNISE MY KASPERSKY INTERNET SECURITY SUITE. NO CUSTOMER CARE OR QUALITY OF SERVICE AND NO REFUND ALTHOUGH I HAD BEEN A CUSTOMER FOR OVER 2 YEARS! TREATED VERY SHABBILY INDEED! NOW USE TUNEUP UTILITIES 2007 WHICH IS MUCH, MUCH BETTER - LESS DRAG AND SIMPLE.

Version: System Mechanic 7.1.6
Pros: Easy install,user friendly.Great tech support.I like their registry backup option.Its like having System Restore only better.Good Spyware Cleaner and Internet Optimizer.Cleans junk files and has decent Registry Repair Option.Also finds duplicate files to free up space.Unlimited 30 day trial with support.
Cons: Tries to be all things to all people.Takes a long time to open the app.Its a tremendous memory hog.Causes my Dell to crash sometimes.Hefty pricetag if you don't use their anti virus and firewall which I don't.Had some issues about version 6 containing spyware.It was spotted a few times by Mcafee Internet Security.

Version: System Mechanic 7.1.6
Pros: Has Potential but Sys Mech 6 was much more stable.
Cons: Sys Mech 7 locks up my computer frequently. It ruined my registry when I installed Vista. I have been a fan since Version 4, but this edition slows your machine down and is not ready for prime time.
