Make your PC run like new again

Your PC isn't too old!
Windows gets slower from file fragments, registry errors, and sneaky new startup items.

System Mechanic reverses this "aging" and can even make your PC run faster than when it was new, because many new PCs are not optimized for speed to begin with!

• What System Mechanic does to speed up your PC
• Cleans, defrags, & repairs registry
• Accelerates PC startup 19 ways
• Defrags & recovers orphaned RAM
• Boosts internet speed
• Complete low-level drive defrag
• Turns off unused background programs

Perform dozens of performance boosting optimizations in one step.

What makes a PC slower?

Have you noticed that the longer you've had your computer, the slower it's gotten? Like a car, without regular maintenance PCs begin to accumulate problems that cause slowdowns, crashes, and potential system failure.

iolo Labs researchers have identified the top 5 causes of PC slowdowns and bottlenecks:

Eliminate the top 5 PC performance drains now!

With System Mechanic, you can eliminate these performance drains and adapt PC settings for optimal speed. Your programs will launch quicker, work faster, and perform with greater reliability.

Have you noticed that the longer you've had your computer, the slower it's become? iolo researchers have identified the top 5 causes of PC slowdowns and bottlenecks:

Fragmented hard drives

Cluttered startup

Unoptimized internet settings

Fragmented and bloated registry

Fragmented memory

With System Mechanic, you can eliminate these performance drains and adapt PC settings for optimal performance. Your programs will launch quicker, work faster, and perform with greater reliability.

POWER TOOL [Toolbox > All-in-one Tools > PC Accelerator]
"PC Accelerator" includes all five of the most critical fixes: defragmenting hard drives and memory, defragmenting and compacting the registry, and optimizing your Windows startup and internet settings (each repair is described in detail below).

The simple, 2-step wizard provides recommendations based on your PC's condition and then runs all the repairs and optimizations at once.

INDIVIDUAL TOOLS [Toolbox > Individual Tools > Increase Performance]
To run the specific fixes that you want, you can choose from the individual repairs in the "Increase Performance" category:

DEFRAGMENT HARD DRIVES
Defragmenting drives reorganizes scattered data so that file components are stored closer to each other - the movement of mechanical parts is minimized and Windows can more quickly access and open files. The process boosts drive speed, prevents data corruption, and extends the life of drives.

OPTIMIZE WINDOWS STARTUP
Various programs and services are set to open every time Windows loads. While some of these programs perform critical functions, many are just needlessly slowing down the startup process. Eliminating unwanted programs from startup is one of the most effective ways to speed up a PC. Your computer starts up faster and, by reducing the number of programs loaded in memory, your computer runs faster, too.

OPTIMIZE 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. System Mechanic's NetBooster® technology enables the transfer of more data over your existing connection, resulting in faster and more reliable access. Many people experience increases in speed of up to 300% after running these optimizations.

DEFRAGMENT AND COMPACT THE REGISTRY
As you make system changes and your PC's registry grows, the registry becomes fragmented and overly large. Regularly defragmenting the registry restructures data so that Windows can access what it needs faster, while compacting eliminates the bloated and unused space in the registry. The processes work together to speed program access, improve overall system efficiency, and free up vital memory.

DEFRAGMENT MEMORY
Defragmenting memory reclaims and frees up valuable memory, which can have a dramatic impact on speed. Defragmenting the memory can also improve the stability of your computer as low memory is a common cause of computer crashes and lockups.

Start Windows up to 8 times faster

Various programs and services are set to load -- often unseen -- when Windows starts. Some are desired, but many are useless and needlessly delay startup. System Mechanic's enhanced Startup Optimizer™ intelligently eliminates unneeded startup programs.

Did you know that one of the major causes of PC slowdowns are programs automatically starting every time you turn on your computer?

While certain programs (such as antivirus protection) should automatically start when your computer is turned on, many programs are just unnecessarily slowing down your PC. Some may be programs that you're not using, software that you didn't even know was installed, or dangerous files running without your knowledge - all loading every time you start your computer.

The System Mechanic Solution
Clearing out unnecessary startup settings removes this bottleneck and is one of the most effective ways to speed up your PC. Your computer starts up faster and, by reducing the number of programs loaded in memory, your computer runs faster, too.

System Mechanic offers three tools to help you manage the startup processing on your computer:

The Optimize Windows Startup tool uses a wizard to guide you through removing unneeded startup settings. You can choose to completely automate the removal of items from startup, or you can view a list of potentially unneeded startup items and choose which ones you want to remove.

[TO ACCESS: Toolbox> Individual Tools > Increase Performance > Optimize Windows Startup]

For advanced users, the Configure Windows Startup tool lists all the items currently configured to start when Windows loads. You can enable, disable, or delete startup items; view detailed file descriptions and properties; create startup profiles; and more.

[TO ACCESS: Toolbox > Individual Tools > Manage System Configuration > Configure Windows Startup]

For continual upkeep, we recommend that all users enable ActiveCare to automatically remove unneeded items from startup as soon as they're detected.
