Unsecure Internet Connection Notifications

Knowing when you’re on an unsecure Wi-Fi connection is crucial for protecting your sensitive information and maintaining your privacy online. It allows you to take immediate action to safeguard your data from potential threats and unauthorized access, ensuring a safer browsing experience. If you find yourself on an unsecure network, here are a few actions you can consider:
  • Avoid Activities Involving Personal Data – Refrain from visiting websites that require passwords or transfer sensitive information such as online banking and shopping.
  • Protect Against Cyber Attacks – Running antivirus software can help protect your device and data from viruses, spyware, ransomware and other malware that may have infected your device while on an unsecure network.  You can perform an antivirus scan using System Mechanic Pro or System Mechanic Ultimate Defense.
  • Use a VPN – Using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) encrypts your internet connection and enhances your online privacy and security.  ioloVPN provides an affordable and easy to use solution for your online protection.

Low Disk Space Notifications

Receiving an alert when your hard drive or SSD space is below 20% helps you prevent data loss, improve performance, avoid system crashes, and maintain the ability to perform system updates that keep your device secure. If you are running low on hard drive space, here are some steps you can take:
  • Run A Scan – System Mechanic will clear temporary files, caches, and browser history to reclaim disk space.  Enabling ActiveCare will automatically perform diagnostics regularly, in the background, when your device is not in use and clean your PC as needed.
  • Delete Large Files, Unused Programs, or Duplicates – Removing large files, old downloads, unused applications, or duplicate files can free up valuable storage.  Leverage the File-DeDuplicator feature available with System Mechanic Pro and System Mechanic Ultimate Defense to easily identify and remove unwanted duplicates.
  • Move Files to External Storage – Transfer large files such as videos, photos or documents to an external hard drive or cloud storage service to free up space on your primary drive.
  • Compress Files – Compressing large files or folders can help save disk space.  You can use built-in compression tools or third-party software for this purpose.

What is iolo's Whole Home License?

The Whole Home License® is iolo’s licensing policy that allows you to install and keep your software running on all of your compatible devices within the same home. Previously, users were allowed to install and license their iolo software simultaneously on a maximum of three PCs. Under the Whole Home License, a single activation key allows you to use your iolo software on all of your PCs, other than any PCs you use for business purposes. What you need to know about Whole Home Licensing

  • You, your spouse, and your relatives living within the same household may use the same license on any number of PCs that you own which are not used for business.
  • For full legal terms and conditions, see https://www.iolo.com/company/legal/eula/

To install your iolo product on additional PCs:

  1. On the additional computer, download the latest version of your iolo product. Choose from the list of downloads offered here.
  2. Follow the steps in the installation wizard, and enter the same Activation Key that you used to install on your original computer.

You can view the Activation Key on the original computer from within System Mechanic > red menu bar > key icon > Activation Key.
