Too busy to scan and repair? Automate it all with ActiveCare®
I feel incredibly safe when surfing the web in the knowledge that iolo is in the
background protecting my PC. - John W., Brahma Lodge, AU
Effortlessly keeps your PC running like new
Why interrupt your routine
to periodically launch PC maintenance and repair tools?
Patent-pending ActiveCare® maintains PC health by monitoring performance behind-the-scenes
and automatically fixing problems when your PC is on but not in use.
Automated tasks
Enable as many ActiveCare
automated tasks as you like
- Turbocharge Windows startup
- Repair registry problems
- Repair registry fragmentation
- Compact registry bloat
- Clean up excessive system clutter
- Repair hard drive errors
- Repair security vulnerabilities
- Optimize internet connection
- Defragment all hard drives
- Defragment system memory
- Repair broken shortcuts
- Back up the registry
How patent-pending ActiveCare® technology beats scheduled tools
Idle-time processing - Only ActiveCare's patent-pending technology
can truly detect when your PC isn't being used, so it never interrupts you while
you're working or playing. It even stays out of your way when you're watching movies
or listening to music!
ZeroRAM™ technology - ActiveCare is designed to virtually
disappear from memory when it is not running, thereby never impacting your system
performance by having it turned on.
Efficient Operation - ActiveCare only performs repairs and optimizations
are specifically needed by the PC at the time it runs. It never wastes time "going
through the motions" like ordinary schedulers that can spend hours performing operations
that aren't even required, simply because they were scheduled.
You can customize ActiveCare
Additional configurations allow you to fully customize when ActiveCare runs - you
can control ActiveCare processing based on scheduled times, battery power usage,
CPU usage, full screen mode for gaming/videos and more.
Receive optional status reports
Web-based ActiveCare reports summarize your PC's status over a specific time period.
You can see what optimizations and repairs System Mechanic has performed and track
changes to your PC's health and security. This is particularly handy for the "family
PC guru" or sysadmin to keep up-to-date on the status of all the PCs you manage.

Registry Tuner ENHANCED

Based on extensive research from iolo Labs, System Mechanic 9's registry cleanup
and repair technology has been dramatically improved:

- Improved problem reporting provides more detailed scope
of errors
All-in-one PC Cleanup Power Tool™ ENHANCED

new ways of detecting and removing insidious system clutter, and improved scan speeds.
- Removes new file patterns exclusive to Windows 7, Vista,

as AIM, Skype, Yahoo, MSN, and more

Smarter Boot-Time Tune-ups ENHANCED
Some of the most important Windows system files such as the page file, the Registry
hives, and the master file table, are locked by Windows and can never be defragmented
using conventional defragmenting tools, but System Mechanic's Boot-Time Defragmentation
can defragment these special files conveniently before Windows loads.
Now, all of System Mechanic 9's boot-time operations come with a series of prompts
and options that offer you increased control in order to avoid inopportune delays
while starting up the PC. You can set up black-out times during the day where no
boot-time tasks will be performed, and new prompts at PC startup give you the ability
to run or postpone boot-time tasks at that time.

Support and Frequent Questions
|
Q. What is iolo's support policy?
A. Unlimited technical support (both telephone and email!)
In an age where paid-instance or time-limited product support has become the norm,
iolo breaks the mold with free, unlimited technical support and customer service

to limit such important communication?

|
Q. What if my business has fewer than 10 computers?

PCs. On the other hand, if your business is growing, just get the 10-seat version
