Softpedia Editor's Review for System Mechanic Professional
|
Five complete products in one package: everything you need to keep your PC safe, fast and error-free
Written by Elena Opris on November 3rd, 2011
Wanting to protect our computers comes natural to us as we want to protect our children. Well... maybe it's not as important as that (although some people may argue that hypothesis).
But our computer is now the place where we basically store our entire personality, and if someone or something tries to interfere with it, that's when it becomes personal.
We just have to take the appropriate measures and make sure our computer can block and disarm any suspicious online activity.
An effective tool against such threats is System Mechanic Professional.
The full installation package includes the base components, as well as Search and Recover, DriveScrubber, and System Shield AntiVirus & AntiSpyware.
Before proceeding, make sure to uninstall any current antivirus software, as the two different applications may clash.
The interface is easy to work with. On the left side you can select the Dashboard, ActiveCare, Internet Security, Toolbox, and Reports.
The Dashboard contains an overview on your entire operating system (which will be active after you perform an analysis), and any encountered problems.
ActiveCare performs automatic task, such as cleaning up the excessive system clutter, repairing registry problems, optimizing startup configuration, or backing up the registry.
The Internet Security section acts like an anti-malware and firewall, while Toolbox contains tools such as PC Accelerator, PC Repair, PC Cleanup, and PC Security.
Reports show the IntelliStatus (information about hard drive space, system memory, startup programs, running programs, and internet speed), and history.
System Mechanic Professional comes with a lot of features, and this can be clearly seen in the CPU and memory usage. A full scanning requires a lot of time, and we couldn't even set this software apart from others (except for its many features).
This application is ideal for advanced users who like to take care of every aspect of their computer's security, but other more powerful ones are better recommended for this job.
