After the release of Windows Vista, many software suppliers rushed out Vista-compatible software, without spending the required time understanding the new kernel-based security, built in to the new operating system. System Mechanic 7 was a good example. Superb, well-designed and popular software that performed erratically on the new OS. However, Iolo spent time updating, worked hard on a major fix and quickly released System Mechanic 7.5, which has been installed on this Vista-based PC for the last few months, without any issues.

System Mechanic 8 has now been released and is better than ever. The updated ActiveCare module will automate the way you tune and optimise your PC, automatically, without you having to intervene. The new Registry Cleanser will keep your Registry clean, tuned and optimised, whilst the DriveSense module will keep your drive in opitimum shape, informing you of potential issues before you end up with a unresponsive drive.
