Introducing System Mechanic® 10

The Most Advanced Approach to Maximum PC Performance
iolo technologies is proud to introduce the most powerful and effective version of System Mechanic ever created.

Among its hundreds of new improvements and technological breakthroughs throughout the product, version 10 unveils a pair of patent-pending performance tools that will supercharge your PC’s performance like never before.  Plus, for those of us who own more than one computer, System Mechanic 10 debuts iolo’s revolutionary Whole Home License™ Program where a single product license can be installed on all of your personal PCs in your home.

With version 10, System Mechanic is now the only complete PC performance software that resolves all the root causes of PC slowdown:

  NEW: Program Accelerator™ – Supercharges Your Programs

A major breakthrough in PC performance technology, Program Accelerator, the world’s first Program Realignment Tool™, uses a newly discovered patent-pending calibration technology to supercharge program performance by intelligently realigning programs with their dependent files for maximum speed. The result is significantly – and very noticeably – faster program launching and far more responsive overall performance.

Prior to Program Accelerator, all programs experienced an irreversible and progressive slowdown over time as the related files that make up a program installation became increasingly scattered around the hard drive, from repeated Windows and software updates and other file moves.  Disk defragmenters can’t solve this problem, and in many cases actually make it worse, but after years of study and an intense laboratory and testing effort, System Mechanic engineers finally solved the problem, filed a patent, and made the technology available to the public exclusively through the new Program Accelerator tool in System Mechanic 10.

This revolutionary invention uses a propriety method to scan for misaligned program files, then determines how they should be grouped together for fastest access.  Program Accelerator then groups and re-aligns each program’s related files for the absolute fastest program load and run time possible.

Lab tests clearly indicate that significant overall gains can be achieved by optimizing the entire system in this way, ranging from a 25-30% boost on even new PCs, to incredible leaps of 200-500% (or more) in startup and program performance on highly misaligned systems.

  NEW: CRUDD Remover™ – Eliminates System Drag

CRUDD, which stands for Commonly Redundant or Unnecessary Decelerators and Destabilizers, acts as system drag that creates the inevitable slowdown computers are subject to as more and more of these types of programs are installed (either knowingly or otherwise) over time.

The new CRUDD Remover tool uses a proprietary algorithm developed by iolo Labs to analyze your PC for unnecessary, superfluous, unused, or redundant programs. It then presents a comprehensive list of all potential speed-leeching culprits so you can easily understand their impact on speed and resources, and then uninstall those that you are not using.

Experts agree that removing unused programs that are weighing your PC down is one of the best ways to unlock lost performance.  In the past this process was something reserved only for PC technicians and experienced power users – and even then it was time-consuming, cumbersome, and even dangerous, often with unpredictable results.

System Mechanic 10’s ground-breaking new CRUDD Remover eliminates the guesswork and puts the control – and PC performance – back in your hands.

  NEW: Internet Connection Repair™ – Gets You Back On the Web

We’ve all experienced the frustration of being abruptly disconnected from the internet – usually right in the middle of something important.  Many of us upgraded from dial-up to broadband with the promise of an “always-on” connection. However, even with broadband your connection can sputter, hiccup, and even mysteriously go dead – which always seems to happen when you need it most.

System Mechanic 10’s new Internet Connection Repair technology detects bad connections and uses a battery of proprietary technology to not only repair and reconnect your computer, but also ensure the connection is as clean, fast, and reliable as possible.

This new tool digs deep to bring your PC back on the web and keep it moving down the information superhighway at maximum speeds.

  NEW: Whole Home License™

Welcome to the first software license that is good for every PC in your single family household. As more of us are reusing older PCs and adding new PCs for other family members, we decided it was time to reward our customers with the Whole Home Licensing program.

For many years, an “Up to 3-PCs” approach was the standard home licensing model for many software products.  This old model was originally intended to amply cover your entire house; however, iolo recognizes that these days many of our users actually have more than three computers in their homes.  iolo solves this problem in System Mechanic 10 by debuting the Whole Home Licensing Program which enables you and your family to install one System Mechanic license on ALL the PCs in your household to keep them running at maximum performance.  

  ENHANCED: Tune-up Definitions™

Introduced in 2001 as the first technology of its kind and a critical part of System Mechanic’s automatic weekly intelligence updates, the latest Tune-up Definitions for System Mechanic 10 are packed with even more essential data that continues to make the product more effective.

Tune-up Definition updates include up-to-the-minute intelligence in all vital categories:

• Program Information Database: Comprehensive information on tens of thousands of programs and how they affect your PC
• Program Redundancy Database: Critical knowledge about which program functions can conflict and impact performance when multiple programs are installed
• Registry Reliability and Problems: Data about all varieties of potential registry problems and conflicts along with their safe and effective remedies
• Security Vulnerability Patches: Instructs System Mechanic on how to detect and repair the latest Windows and program security vulnerabilities that can put your PC at risk

• Junk Files Database: Constantly updated database that informs System Mechanic how to locate and safely purge hundreds of newly discovered types of files that can litter your PC and clog its performance

ENHANCED: DriveAccelerator™

System Mechanic 10’s DriveAccelerator disk defragmenter has been improved and re-engineered from the ground up for enhanced speed and effectiveness:

• DriveAccelerator is the first and only disk defragmenter that knows how to intelligently work together with the breakthrough file alignment technology in Program Accelerator so that individual files are made contiguous without disrupting their alignment.
• DriveAccelerator is the first and only disk defragmenter that knows how to intelligently work together with the breakthrough file alignment technology in Program Accelerator so that individual files are made contiguous without disrupting their alignment.

ENHANCED: Hundreds of Overall Improvements Throughout

Starting from the first time you begin exploring the product’s new features, System Mechanic 10 will not only make your PC run faster than ever, but will feel more intuitive, responsive, and even more user-friendly than ever before.  iolo incorporated hundreds of overall enhancements and customer suggestions, some of which include:
