Get a tour of iolo’s System Shield antivirus and antispyware solution. System Shield finds and removes dangerous PC infections, then protects against future attacks.

Search and Recover – Find and recover deleted files

The Total Recovery wizard recovers the contents of an entire drive or folder. Use this wizard when all of the files on a drive or directory have been deleted or damaged.

DriveScrubber – erases remnants of deleted files

His wizard wipes the free space and erases the remnants of deleted files from a drive. Regular use of DriveScrubber ensures that deleted information can never be recovered.

System Shield – Keep your PC protected from malware

Run a full computer scan, including all files, folders, memory and boot records for malware,spyware and viruses. System Shield protects transparently, without robbing active programs of the resources they need to run.

DriveAccelerator – Defragment data for fast retrieval

Defragmenting hard drives reorganizes scattered data, which boosts file access speed and extends the life of the drive. To maintain system performance and prevent data corruption, it is recommended that you periodically defragment your hard drive.

Designated Drivers – Find and install updated drivers

Manufacturers often release improved drivers for their devices intended to resolve conflicts, fix errors, and improve overall efficiency. Finding and installing these drivers, however, can be time-consuming, confusing, and potentially harmful to your system if incorrect or unsafe drivers are accidentally installed.

Startup Optimizer – Make your PC start up faster

Various programs and services are set to load when Windows loads. Some of these programs, such as internet security, are desired, but many are useless. Removing unneeded items from the startup process will boost your PC’s speed, particularly the time it takes to boot.

Total Registry Revitalizer

To get the most out of System Mechanic and therefore your PC, a few times per month run the specialized tool Total Registry Revitalizer™, which not only defrags and compacts but also optimizes and backs up your all-important registry.

Boost App Performance with Program Accelerator in System Mechanic

Speed up sluggish programs with the technology that correctly re-aligns your whole file system for maximum efficiency.

NetBooster – Optimize your internet settings

When Windows is installed, the default settings are not necessarily optimized for your specific Internet connection. This can prevent you from reaching maximum download and upload speeds. NetBooster allows the transferring of more data over your existing connection, resulting in faster and more reliable access.
