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.

Memory Mechanic – Maximize your PC’s free memory

A shortage of memory has a significantly negative impact on a computer’s performance and yet many programs trap a portion of the memory they use, making it unavailable to the system. Memory Mechanic eliminates this memory “bleed” and returns it to the available RAM.

EnergyBooster – Turn off unused background programs

Often, background processes are needlessly running and slowing down your PC. Turning off these unneeded processes frees up system memory and CPU resources, which streamlines your PC and enables it to run faster–especially when running games or other resource intensive programs.

CRUDD Remover – Easily streamline your computer

For certain types of programs, having more than one installed can reduce your computer’s performance. Removing such redundant programs improves the overall speed and stability of your PC—unnecessary processing is eliminated, drive space is freed up, and program conflicts are removed.

Analyze and Repair Your PC

System Mechanic analyzes and repairs your PC. Once analyzed, you’ll get a detailed report of the health status and any problems and can start to fix issues on the spot.

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.
