Did you know that today, February 9, is Clean Out Your Computer Day?
Anecdotal evidence demonstrates that many valuable hours are often wasted because of slow computers. Psychological research also documents the negative influences of clutter – digital or otherwise – in our life. Despite this research, few users take time to proactively clean out their computers. Today is the perfect day to jump-start your spring cleaning, remove frustrating clutter and recover lost hours in your days.
If you are experiencing problems with your PC, you might want to try System Mechanic from Iolo Technologies. System Mechanic is a program that is designed to fix, speed up and maintain PCs so they run like new forever. The software allows you to tune up your PC so it will run quickly, safely, and error-free. With one click, System Mechanic enables you to detect and repair problems, run essential fixes, and perform automated maintenance.
The brand new System Mechanic 9.5 has new features such as:
- Total Registry Revitalizer: Newly discovered problem areas in Windows 7 are detected and resolved with System Mechanic’s updated registry cleaning and repair technology that repairs, compacts, defragments, and backs up the registry in one step.
- PC Cleanup PowerTool™: System Mechanic’s PC Cleanup Power Tool has been enhanced with new methods of locating and removing junk files and clutter unique to Windows 7.
- Jump Lists: System Mechanic 9.5 now supports this new popular feature of Windows 7. More advanced than shortcuts, Windows 7 Jump Lists let you get inside your favorite programs and ‘jump’ directly to the functions you use most. System Mechanic’s Jump List lets you optimize your PC with a click of a button, giving you fast access to system analyses, repairs, and some of the program’s most frequently used optimization tools.
Additional enhancements in System Mechanic 9.5 include:
- Hundreds of new Tune-up Definitions™ for even more effective tune-ups: Since its official launch in June 2009, iolo Labs has been busy studying and analyzing Windows 7 performance degradation trends and patterns. The newest Tune-up Definition updates give the product the knowledge to intelligently identify even more causes of performance and stability degradation, resulting in more effective repairs and optimizations than ever before.
- PC Health Status Gadget: Designed for both Windows Vista and Windows 7 machines, System Mechanic’s PC Health Status Gadget provides real-time status reports on a computer’s health, a running feed of the repairs and optimizations performed by System Mechanic, as well as drill-down access to any detected problems and system warnings. It also gives you a quick and easy way to access the most commonly used functions in System Mechanic, such as Memory Mechanic® and EnergyBooster™.
Iolo Technologies gave me a couple of copies of System Mechanic to try and I shared one with a colleague who mentioned that her home computer was sluggish. She ran different optimizers using System Mechanic and while it took awhile, she felt that the main advantage of System Mechanic over using Windows Systems Applications is that everything she needed was in one place.

My computer is in desperate need of a cleaning because it’s several years old, and was used by my son for the longest….. and the victim of a virus at one point. It’s virus free now, but after being used so hard for so long, I know it’s in need of a good tune-up to improve performance! Thanks for the giveaway.

I have a computer that I know is in dire need of cleaning up, I just don’t have the technical know-how to do it myself.
Every time I boot it up, I cross my fingers that it’s not the last time. I am sure that with a little “hosecleaning” I can restore it to a happy computer!

I feel like I am telling a corny joke here. “My computer is so slow that…” I usually can’t see the letters I am typing because they appear one at a time about a half second apart. I would love that utility!
(And my captcha is remarkably apt: “neversi”!!)
Our main computer is so slow, I turn it on, go get a cup of coffee, click on something, go put a load of wash in, click again.. well, you get the point. Thanks, Leticia!
My computer needs this–and so do I to preserve my sanity!! For the past couple of weeks my computer has been spontaneously losing the internet connection and sometimes going to the blue screen and needing to completely reboot. So frustrating! I revamped my antivirus software (Avast) but that didn’t help. This sounds like a product I need! Thanks for the chance!
first off my computer is so bad that I have to clear my catche everytime I get on to do anything! so i need this really really bad. As my brother says who is takeing computer classes, Amanda you need to clean your compuer out. lol beeacutie2 at gmail.com
We are so hard on computers around here. My five year old’s computer is in desperate need of system mechanic.
I just don’t want to reformat….. I always lose so many things = no matter how hard I try. But my laptop needs a doctor…
This program sounds like a godsend.
I work hard on this computer, my daughters play hard on this computer. That makes me….
