System Mechanic 7 Professional

My local paper has a column today concerning System Mechanic 7 Professional,

praising it very highly. It diagnoses the PC, backs up the registry, gets

rid of clutter, fixes security problems and defrags the hard drive. The

anti-virus program checks for the latest protection every hour, has a

firewall, and a Search and Recover. It works in the background to monitor

the PC without slowing it down. The cost is $39 plus $6 shipping. It did

not state whether that is a one-time charge or an annual charge, but it did

state that you get free anti-virus updates for a year, indicating possibly

that it is an annual charge. Does anyone have any comment concerning this?

I don't know about System Mechanic 7 but I have System Mechanic 6

and its excellent.

It does not have a firewall so I can't speak to that I use commodo

firewall.

But it has a very nice defrag that does the registry, mft and swap

files which I really like and it cleans pretty well.

I don't let it run in the background all the time as I try to run as

little in the background as possible.

Is the $45. charge an annual charge?

I just set a restore point, and downloaded | installed | and quickly

evaluated this.

....As soon as it "seemed" to be suggesting that all web addresses in IE's

Trusted Sites zone could be dangerous, and that maybe I should delete them,

it had to go !!!

It also erroneously "found" lots of problems with my system, that could have

caused lots of problems, ....as most system optimizers and registry cleaners

usually do :)

.....just as well I set a restore point, "it" didn't !

regards, Richard

Someone,

Stay away from any "cleaner" software or "optimization" software. It's

only a matter of time before this type of software hoses your registry.

If you decide to purchase this software or similar software you can

start another thread here and ask for help in reinstalling your OS.

I worked on a client's comptuer where System Mechanic 6 messed up the

registry and made the computer unbootable.

I fixed the problem by restoring the registry as decribed in Microsoft

KB article 307545. I then un-installed System Mechanic 6, but it left

bits of itself behind, including a program that runs as a service at

system startup: ioloDMVSvc.exe. That problem apparently exists in

System Mechanic 7, too, as described here:

http://www.wrensoft.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1451

I wouldn't buy the product, and I wouldn't use any automated registry

cleaner.

It is an annual charge if you wish to update to the new version released

every year.
