Make your PC run like new again

         Your PC isn't too old!
Windows gets slower from file fragments, registry errors, and sneaky new startup items.

System Mechanic reverses this "aging" and can even make your PC run faster than when it was new, because many new PCs are not optimized for speed to begin with!

What System Mechanic does to speed up your PC

• Cleans, defrags, & repairs registry
• Accelerates PC startup 19 ways
• Defrags & recovers orphaned RAM
• Boosts internet speed
• Complete low-level drive defrag
• Turns off unused background programs

Perform dozens of performance boosting optimizations in one step.

What makes a PC slower?

Have you noticed that the longer you've had your computer, the slower it's gotten? Like a car, without regular maintenance PCs begin to accumulate problems that cause slowdowns, crashes, and potential system failure.

iolo Labs researchers have identified the top 5 causes of PC slowdowns and bottlenecks:

1. Hidden startup programs 2. Registry errors and bloat 3. Memory leaks and fragmentation

4. Unoptimized internet settings 5. Hard drive fragmentation

Eliminate the top 5 PC performance drains now!

With System Mechanic, you can eliminate these performance drains and adapt PC settings for optimal speed. Your programs will launch quicker, work faster, and perform with greater reliability.

Eliminate system-clogging clutter

         Windows accumulates all kinds of needless junk, wasting drive space, causing problems, and risking privacy.

System Mechanic removes thousands of megabytes of Windows update clutter, broken installer remnants, and internet tracks, keeping your PC clean and efficient.

What System Mechanic does to clean up Windows

• Cleans over 50 different types of junk files
• Removes invalid installers and programs
• Wipes internet history, clutter and cache
• Regains thousands of megabytes of hard disk space

Perform a complete cleanup in just three minutes.

System clutter is one of the most insidious factors in Windows performance degradation.

It builds up silently over time in the background from untidy programs, unclean computer shutdowns, and general everyday use. If not regularly cleaned, junk files can cause the computer to undergo superfluous and wasteful processing.

iolo Labs researchers have identified the top 3 ways clutter degrades performance:

1. Critical indexes Windows maintains to organize its files become bloated with meaningless junk, causing overall sluggishness during file and program access. 2. Useless files are included when defragmenting your hard drives, adding to the time and processing power required. 3. Hard drive space is unnecessarily reserved, leading to premature upgrade costs or replacements.

Sweep away junk files and automatically keep Windows spotless

With System Mechanic, you can eliminate wasteful system-clogging clutter and enable patent-pending ActiveCare® to keep your PC automatically clutter-free and running at its peak. Your system will start up quicker, work faster, and perform with greater reliability.

Protect personal data and confidential activity

         Virtually everything you do on a PC is stored in activity logs or leaves a trail, even long after it's been "cleared."

System Mechanic's proprietary technology with military-grade security wipes all traces of activity - even a forensics expert can never view or recover it.

What System Mechanic does to ensure your privacy

Choose what traces of activity
to permanently remove

• Employs multi-pass military-grade wiping to ensure complete removal of all deleted data
• Defeats forensics recovery techniques
• Permanently and completely removes internet history and cache
• Integrates Incinerator® technology with Windows Recycle Bin for high security
• Cleans up after all major web browsers, online chat, and web toolbars

Why deleting, emptying, and clearing are not enough

Savvy PC users know to "clear the cache and browser history" as a basic privacy precaution, but most are unaware of the multitude of locations where common programs leave a vivid trail of activity that can be financially or personally devastating in the wrong hands.

Deleted files are not really erased - their space is simply marked "available" by Windows, and their contents can persist for months or years, even after you empty the Recycle Bin or format your hard disk!

The latest version has been vastly enhanced with dozens of new programs added to its growing list of cleanup targets, so it's more powerful and easier than ever to use.

Wipe files and purge activity logs the right way!

Activity log tracks left by dozens of new programs as you use them can be safely and securely wiped away by the improved Privacy Cleaner™ tool in System Mechanic 9, which now leverages military-grade Incinerator® multi-pass data shredding technology.

Rescue lost files and prevent snooping on deleted data

         Deleted files are not really gone. This means you can recover them with the right tools, but so can someone else!

Search and Recover and DriveScrubber - included with System Mechanic Pro - rescue accidentally deleted files and permanently wipe deleted data for good.

Recover Accidentally Deleted Files

Search and Recover™ Rescues accidentally deleted work and cherished memories Recovers long lost files from any drive, media or device Retrieves data from re-formatted and damaged drives!

Search and Recover™ works even without backups available to rescue critical work and cherished memories you thought were gone forever. Accidentally deleted photos, files, songs, email or videos, lost even years ago, can be safely recovered with a single click. Using the wrong recovery software can damage data, reducing your chances of success, but Search and Recover's powerful technology safely and easily rescues items other products miss.

Protect Your Data from Identity Thieves

DriveScrubber® Permanently remove personal files, pictures, or documents Use before you sell or donate a PC, hard drive, or camera Works with drives, cameras, MP3 players & more

DriveScrubber® erases data so it can never be recovered. 74% of discarded PC hard drives contain private data that can be easily read and recovered... even if the drive has been reformatted, because deleting files doesn't remove them. When you delete data or format a drive you assume the files, pictures, email or documents no longer exist on your computer. But your private data still exists, and it only takes basic knowledge of PCs to find it. For total security, you need DriveScrubber power.

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

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.

Read how to configure automatic tune-ups

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.

TIP: Use the new PC Health Status Gadget for Windows 7 and Vista to get instant readings of critical PC Health and system status right on your desktop.

All-in-one and individual tools at your fingertips
