If you have ever used any system optimization software, you already know what to expect from iolo System Mechanic 15. The software provides over 50 tools that you can either initiate manually or pre-configure them to automatically run in the background. Of these tools, you will get registry cleaners, windows program startup checkers, defragmentation modules and a system shield.
User Interface
I find the System Mechanic 15 user interface perfectly designed and easy-to-use. The functions are clearly indicated and it would only take one or two clicks to get any given function running. Easily customize the way the software works by clicking on options, which is located on the upper right side, or if you find yourself stuck, just click on help, which contains a lot of information on how to run, customize and manually update the software.

What separates iolo System Mechanic from other software is that it features genuinely effective tools.

Whether you want to backup your registry, defragment your system’s memory or find and delete broken shortcuts, you will find very tools that can perform better than this software.
The software scans and locates duplicate files and is useful when you want to get rid of confidential files. It has wizards for specifically running a set software that perform a similar function. For example, the PC accelerator will run all the speed up functions while the PC clean up wizard will run all software that free space on your PC. To run all the functions in the software at once, simply launch PC TotalCare.
