System Mechanic 12

[News Team]

Intro This has probably happened to most of you: while sitting at your computer, playing a game or scoping out some new hardware you wish you could own, it occurs to you that it has been a while since you ran all of the maintenance procedures for your computer. Rather than performing the needed maintenance, you justify putting it off for fear of running out of time during the maintenance procedure or simply not knowing how to perform the proper maintenance. We all have busy lives, and it’s high time that a flexible, all encompassing piece of software came our way that helps with this. Enter System Mechanic, (now in it’s 12th rendition). This super flexible software kit involves patented maintenance technology designed specifically to keep everything in your operating system (OS) running as smoothly and easily as possible, (even with your SSD). Having been around for approximately 15 years now, the bar has been set pretty high for this version of the software, so let’s see what it delivers.

Thanks guys! It really is an amazing tool: to date, since I have had it installed there have only ever been two or three kb-size fixes that have needed to be done after the initial sweep and clean. This thing is persistent, but my system performance never takes a hit from it. Even in monitoring hardware usage this thing is hardly even an "honorable mention"'s worth of system resources. Really good stuff and I WILL be renewing this sub when it runs out.

I was really impressed with the SSD optimizing tool. No reformat! Curious though, is there any freeware that does about as good as this suite?
