Installing System Mechanic begins on the System Mechanic webpage where an installer can be downloaded for free as a part of the 30 day free trial available across all 3 versions.

NB – A 30 day free trial is available across al three versions should you want to try out and test the features on offer for yourself! Installing System Mechanic Potentially very good value for those who work across multiple PCs, especially considering the built in premium anti-virus tools in the higher two versions! Additional features include tools such as Privacy Guardian, the ByePass password manager, System Shield and the Malware Killer tool amongst others.Īll versions of System Mechanic feature a multi-pc household licence, this means the software can be used on an unlimited number of devices within the same household. This is the highest version of System mechanic containing all features from the basic and Pro versions whilst adding even more tools on top. The System mechanic Pro version contains all of the tools found in the basic version alongside a premium, fully functional anti-virus application built in to the application. This basic version contains the full suite of cleaning and performance boosting tools associated with System Mechanic, this includes scanning for and removing potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) which is very useful given this basic version is missing the antivirus solution found in the two higher up versions. Finally, the top package containing all available tools is System Mechanic Ultimate Defense. Iolo System Mechanic is available in 3 different versions, these start with the basic System Mechanic package and build upwards adding more in-depth cleaning, privacy and security tools along the way.

In this section of the review I will be looking at Iolo System Mechanic in detail, initially comparing the 3 different versions of this software product and then delving in and looking at many of the individual tools themselves in more depth.
