This process took 57 minutes, and was followed by the first of many necessary system restarts.Īfter I rebooted, I was given a series of "recommendations," basically saying you've done a lot of good so far, and here are ways to get more of your computer's power. The Windows registry was backed up, and thanks to a disk defragmentation, more of the computer's RAM was made available. Not only did it repair my hard drive, but it rearranged 26.42 GB of data so that files could be more easily accessed. It cleared out 547.40 MB of cluttering files. It then cleaned my registry, correcting 599 problems. Once I saw the problems at hand, I approved System Mechanic to process them and get everything right and fixed. Also, no better way to get the best bang for my buck for the E15 which retails for $469 (about £308, AU$601). Nonetheless, it was still dealing with a machine that came with a lot of pre-loaded nonsense, and with settings set to Acer's liking. What that means for the review is that System Mechanic wasn't necessarily tuning up a computer that had logged months or years of work and had been filled with cruft. This software was used on a relatively new computer, the Acer Aspire E15 (featuring a 1.9GHz Intel Core i3 CPU, with internal Intel Graphics, 4GB of RAM, and a 500GB hard drive) that I recently reviewed. Most of those important errors are the kind that even a power user couldn't detect on their own, so it's good that System Mechanic is there for you to tell you what's up. When I first loaded System Mechanic, I received a diagnosis of how many important problems my computer had, and how many programs that may not need to be loaded at startup there are. Once you're clicking through every single option in the main menu, inside of Toolbox, under "All-in-one Tools" you'll find Total Care, a one-stop function to put System Mechanic to work. A feature that feels paramount, Total Care, in which System Mechanic runs a diagnostic, repair, cleanup, and security check all with one click, is nested a bit too deeply into the system. System Mechanic is separated out into a list of subsections: Dashboard (where you are given your diagnosis), ActiveCare (automated services on call to protect you), LiveBoost (focused on increasing your machine's speed), Internet Security (which detected that Windows Defender was there for me), Toolbox (more on that in a moment), and a section to get Reports about your system's status.
