All the automated tasks become available and will clean, maintain, and optimize your computer when it’s idle so you won’t be interrupted if you are working. If you are a set and forget kind of person, the paid version of System Mechanic is what you want, if you can afford it of course. Just about all the features in “Automated tasks” and the Live Boost “Real-time Optimization” are premium, while a mixture of features in the Toolbox section are both free and paid. Something we really don’t like about System Mechanic Free is the huge nag window that pops up if you inadvertently click on a premium feature because it’s not always clear what is a paid feature and what isn’t. After the process is complete, the health status should be good and you can be safe in the knowledge the system is hopefully running as fast and as smooth as possible. Novice or inexperienced users can click the “Repair all” button to begin the repair, clean and optimize process, experienced users can view what problems have been identified and choose what should be touched and what shouldn’t. On launch the program will ask to run a system analysis, you can click the drop down arrow to the right of the “Analyze now” button and select a more thorough scan which takes over 5 minutes to complete.Īfter the scan has finished you will get a rating of your overall system status, obviously the worse your system is rated and the more problems it is perceived to have, the more towards the red the health meter will go. An email address is required to activate although it doesn’t have to be a real email. Simply download and install System Mechanic, selecting the free version when given the choice. Sadly for users that wish to do as little work as possible, the free version omits a number of the set and forget features. System Mechanic does have a free version available which is obviously a cut down from its full versions, the top end Pro version costing $69.95 and the standard version at $49.95, although you can get it for 50% off quite often through an advertisement in the free version UI. If you wanted to do all this manually, you would require knowledge and several third party tools, System Mechanic aims to do all this from the one application. Is one of those all-in-one applications that says it can clean out all the useless junk and help protect your privacy, repair problems, optimize your computer so it runs smoothly, and even boost the performance of Windows by tweaking a number of settings.
