Software Review: System Mechanic 9.5 Part 4

June 21, 2010 |
This review was done with a registered version of System Mechanic 9.5 with a license provided by iolo technologies. As is our policy this fact will not color our review of the software in anyway. Also note that this software provides you with the opportunity to make changes to your system setting and we would be remiss if we didn’t warn you that when doing things like this it is always wise to create a System Restore point on your computer.

Welcome to the last part of our review of System Mechanic by iolo technologies. Now before I wrap this review up with my final thoughts about system Mechanics there are a couple of other parts of this package of tools that I want to take a look at first.

As I have pointed out several times in this review some of the tools found in System Mechanic allow you to mess around in some really sensitive areas of Windows and because of this you should make sure to create a System Restore point or at least have a current back-up image of your system.

That isn’t to say that the System Mechanic team hasn’t done their best to make this collection of tools as safe as they possibly can. Far from it but t hat doesn’t change the fact you should also make sure you have all your bases covered just in case something does go wrong.

I am sure that the team behind System Mechanic realize things can go wrong and this is one of the reasons that they have included their own form of rollback called SafetyNet.
