Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - System Mechanic Professional
I have dial up service. As a result, updating System Mechanic Pro took quite a long time. The box said Version 8, as purchased, but when I ran the disc, it was Version 7.5. As a result, I had to do extensive updating and had a few minor glitches in updating. Since the installation, it has functioned well. I have had a few minor problems, but they may have been due to other things, not to System Mechanic. I've been using SM for about a month and like it so far.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Wouldn't even install !
I purchased the product this month (Nov. 2008). When trying to install I kept getting a pop-up error message saying that I first had to uninstall Spyware Doctor. Spyware Doctor was uninstalled from my computer almost a year ago. Cleaned the registry and did everything else that I could think of; no luck. There was a help page that offered some "bypass" proceedures, but none of them worked. Tried the email tech support route and finally received a reply that did not even apply to my problem. ...

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Are you kidding me? This thing is pure junk
I went out to Best Buy and bought the software, I must say...its one of the worst products that I have ever purchased. The darn thing messed up my programs and screwed everything up, thank god I know enough to fix the problem effectively, but what if there is someone who doesn't know how to fix the problem, which in turn sends the user to the PC Shop to get it fixed, more money spent. Avoid this software with all costs...it sucks, if you want a reliable and effective system utility, get TuneUp Utilities, ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Does NOT work with Vista!!!
The box makes the claim that this software works on windows Vista. This is a lie! I installed it on my machine with 32bit Vista Home Premium edition installed. It found over a dozen problems. So far so good. I push the button that said "repair problems" (or something similar). I get the blue screen of death... It takes some work considering the description of the error is sadly lacking along with a meaningful log. I manually fix the problem. I hit "repair problems", blue screen of death... I do this four ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - System Mechanic 7 = Malware!
This product was purchased on Aug 31st, 2008 to be installed on a brand new HP Pavilion TX2510US notebook purchased on Aug 21st, 2008. Like a fool I bought this product again from iolo technologies on another laptop and it destroyed the Operating System. Thinking they would have fixed the bugs on System Mechanic Pro I figured I'd give this company another chance. Big Big mistake! Upon reboot after install the software corrupted my Windows Vista boot sector, so bad that I am now unable to even do an F11 System ... Read More
