System Mechanic 11 Sets the Standard for PC Performance

Smarter

In addition to delivering the precise tests, repairs, and speed enhancements that match your exact computer type and configuration, the intelligent technology exclusive to System Mechanic is designed to automatically repair PC problems when they arise; customize tuning and repairs to your computer's precise needs; keep your PC informed about the latest problems.

With version 11, the smartest PC performance software on the market has gotten even smarter. The new and enhanced features included in System Mechanic 10.8 to keep your PC performing at better-than-new levels include:

• Expert social intelligence and performance impact advice are newly integrated with System Mechanic's powerful tools to help you optimize your PC like never before.
• Newly enhanced Registry Tuner is equipped with the intelligence to find and fix up to 50% more errors than other registry repair tools.
• All-new Designated Drivers™ tool finds, then safely and automatically updates, outdated device drivers on your PC to ensure all your components are working together in unison and at peak efficiency.

The all-new Designated Drivers™ tool finds, then safely and automatically updates outdated device drivers on your PC to ensure all your components work together in unison and at peak efficiency.

Deeper

Only System Mechanic has the tools to fix all 9 root causes of PC slowdowns, including:

•     Program misalignment
•     Memory level decline
•     Windows startup bottlenecks
•     Redundant programs
•     Mismatched internet settings
•     Registry errors
•     Registry bloat
•     Fragmented system files
•     File clutter congestion

Based on the latest research from iolo Labs and an even deeper understanding of operating system fundamentals, iolo's engineers uncovered significant new factors that result in the symptomatic loss of computer performance over time —and developed two industry-first tools to reverse these slowdowns.

One newly identified culprit, program misalignment, results from a phenomenon called program file drift - when a program's files become gradually misaligned over time, physically drifting away from each other and leading to significantly more sluggish program performance.

The second newly discovered root cause of PC slowdown illustrates how duplicate and redundant installed programs impact performance and stability, not only wasting resources but leading to system conflicts.

The all-new Program Accelerator™ realigns all of your programs and speeds up access, while the new CRUDD Remover™ allows you to intelligently remove the redundant and unnecessary programs that are dragging down your PC.

Faster

Today's PC users demand performance—and System Mechanic 11 delivers, with a comprehensive set of significant speed improvements.

For version 11, the System Mechanic engineering team set their sights on speed, and made a significant discovery in the process: iolo has uncovered data that proves even the most cutting-edge and ultra-fast solid state drives (SSDs) begin to suffer from incrementally diminishing performance over time.

Traditional disk defragmenters are designed for mechanical hard drives and can actually harm SSDs. In fact, SSDs suffer from a new performance problem called digital cluster congestion, and iolo's engineers have designed technology that fully optimizes SSDs and ensures they’re kept at maximum performance for life. Now incorporated in version 10.8, the new SSD Accelerator™ tool preserves both the speed and the longevity of solid state drives.

SSD Accelerator is one of many tools unique to System Mechanic 11 designed to maximize speed in the following critical areas:

•     Faster Windows startup
•     Faster program speeds
•     Faster web browsing
•     Faster gaming experience
•     Improved hard drive performance
•     Improved memory levels
•     Improved system stability

Designated Drivers NEW

Keeps your PC running swiftly and stably by automatically installing critical driver updates.

Device drivers are files filled with critical information that instruct your computer and the devices connected to it how to operate together effectively. All of the hardware on a PC—from the keyboard and mouse to the CPU and Wi-Fi adapter—require an up-to-date driver to keep them in good working order.

Because they perform such essential tasks, keeping your drivers updated and in good working condition is central to ensuring your PC's overall stability and performance. However, the process of manually updating drivers can be frustrating and time-consuming.

Designated Drivers™—available exclusively in System Mechanic 11—lets you update all of your PC's drivers with just one click, now making driver updates a painless process. Designated Drivers is the only tool of its kind to exclusively use Microsoft-approved driver updates, which have gone through two rounds of quality assurance testing to ensure the updates are safe, reliable, and broadly compatible.

SSD Accelerator NEW

Streamlines, optimizes, and prolongs the life of modern solid-state drives, keeping them running at peak performance.

Although solid state drives (SSDs) enjoy a significant speed advantage over traditional hard disk drives, it doesn't mean they are impervious to slowdown or degradation over time. With regular, everyday use, many users have found that these drives begin to suffer from incremental performance loss.

To resolve this problem, iolo's engineers designed SSD Accelerator™ to proactively optimize solid state drives to keep them running at the peak of speed and efficiency. SSD Accelerator has also been designed to work together with System Mechanic's other drive optimization tools and its patented ActiveCare® technology in order to ensure that all of your data storage drives are automatically optimized for maximum performance and longevity on a regular basis.

Program Accelerator NEW

Speeds up overall program responsiveness by re-aligning all of a program's dependent files on the hard drive.

The problem: program misalignment is a major system slowdown caused by Windows and software updates. It leads to progressively slower program launch and responsiveness as dependent files become scattered all over the hard drive.

Disk defragmenters make it worse, blindly compacting and separating related files even more!

Program Accelerator's first-of-its-kind patent-pending technology adds sophistication to enhance defrag tools, such as DriveAccelerator™, and move related files back together

Bottom line: Program Accelerator™ jump-starts your sluggish programs by fully re-aligning your whole PC file system.

CRUDD Remover NEW

Commonly Redundant or Unnecessary Decelerators and Destabilizers (CRUDD) Remover™ helps identify and eliminate duplicate programs that clog your system.

"More programs, more problems..."

In addition to all the programs you install yourself, there's the software that came with your PC that you've probably never used, as well as any number of programs that may have installed themselves on your computer without your knowledge!

Removing unneeded programs speeds up a PC significantly. The CRUDD Remover's™ expert intelligence takes the hassle and guesswork out of finding, classifying, and presenting them all, so you can choose to remove unnecessary software that's bloating your system.

Whole Home Licensing NEW

Now, keep all your household PCs running at maximum performance with just a single license of System Mechanic!

Gone is the costly and arbitrary restriction of only 1 to 3 PCs per license. As more and more of us are reusing older PCs and adding new PCs for other family members, iolo decided it was time to reward customers with the Whole Home™ License, empowering families with many PCs in their household to keep them all running at full speed and reliability

Get more performance and more value with the first-ever software license that is good for every PC in your single family household.

Internet Connection Repair NEW

We've all experienced the frustration of being abruptly disconnected from the internet — usually right in the middle of something important — even with broadband!

System Mechanic's new Internet Connection Repair technology detects bad connections and uses a battery of proprietary technology to not only repair and reconnect your computer, but also ensure the connection is as clean, fast, and reliable as possible.
