System Mechanic (SM)

There are a lot of ways to keep a computer in top-notch shape and, even though many users try to do the cleaning and optimization manually, it's still easier to resort to a dedicated software solution that can do this task automatically.

System Mechanic is one of the applications specifically designed to clean the computer, fix existing problems and speed up the machine to make it work just like after installing a fresh copy of Windows (ideally).

Attractive and intuitive interface

It's not too hard to install and use the application, especially because it has an eye-candy interface that makes the whole cleaning and fixing process both easy and somewhat enjoyable.

The extensive set of optimization tasks

System Mechanic is able to repair registry errors, scan the apps which automatically run at Windows startup to and disable unnecessary ones to improve boot time, as well as to fix some security vulnerabilities. You can also use it to change the Internet configuration and optimize it for greater speed, back up settings, amend HDD errors, and many other tasks deemed as essential to keeping the workstation in shape.

Automatic scans with recommendations

The scanning process goes very smoothly with the ‘Quick Analysis' option and everything should be done in less than a minute. During our test, System Mechanic not only checked the testing machine very fast but also fixed the detected problems and made new suggestions. But the application has much more than that to offer. For example, you can easily defragment the memory, perform diagnostics, and other tweaks using stand-alone features.

Conclusion

Overall, System Mechanic does a pretty decent job and cleans a lot of the clutter while solving many system problems to make the computer run a bit faster. The software tool deserves a try but, as always, the advice is to proceed with caution when dealing with programs that make modifications to the registry and other vital areas of your PC.
