  "System Mechanic Pro 8.5.6 has horrible tech & cust svc"

  by Anonymous1011 on July 9, 2009

  Pros: Has free, very awful technical support, and a lovely box with lots of red coloring to indicate how powerful it is (lol).

  Cons: Iolo Technologies has horrible technical support (based in India), and bad customer service to match (based in the U.S.). The so-called features are duplicative in a way that is designed to look more substantive than they are.

  Summary: I've been a loyal customer of Iolo 4 many years. I"ve repeatedly purchased their SMPro over the years. The only reason I bought their product was the free phone support. This service has gotten worse in recent yrs. 4 instance, it used 2b based in the... read more

  "Sped up all 3 of my 3 to 5 year old computers"

  by Monkeypaw on July 4, 2009

  Pros: Includes antivirus and a firewall and doesn't bog down my system like McAfee and others have.
  
  Lots of tools included and they work well without making serious mistakes like many other utility programs do.

  Cons: Annual fee if you want antivirus to stay updated.
  You can't edit which problems aren't included in the summary. So on on my PC that physically can't take any more memory, low memory is frequently listed as a problem if I run the analysis.

  Summary: I have 3 computers over 4 years old and they were getting really slow. One laptop would take so long to boot up that it wasn't worth trying to start it on a 1 hour plane flight. The others booted slowly as well and all were sluggish.I used the demo... read more
