I tested Iolo System Mechanic's ability to whip a gaming PC back into shape by performing two tests-running the Geekbench system performance tool and measuring boot times-before and after running the tune-up utility to compare the computer's speed. Using On-Demand Boost, you can manually tweak your PC's power settings or create unique power-management profiles. Iolo states that it may improve your PC gaming sessions by delivering improved system performance. On-Demand Boost focuses all processor cores on the task at hand and turns off nonessential background programs. Clicking the icon causes Iolo to launch the appropriate system-fixing tools to eliminate junk files, unwanted programs, and the like. It's here that the Repair Now button appears, if Iolo detects a problem. The Dashboard opens by default after you launch Iolo System Mechanic. I won't discuss all of them, as there are many (File Shredder, Privacy Shield). You can activate individual tools or initiate a one-click tune-up. In addition, useful dialogue bubbles pop up to explain common PC problems and the tools' various functions. The interface has several options in the left pane, such as ActiveCare (real-time system monitoring and clean up) and LiveBoost (maximizes CPU, RAM and hard disk performance), that contain individual tune-up subcategories.

The latest Iolo System Mechanic has a new, streamlined look that makes it easier than ever to find the app's various tools. Ashampoo WinOptimizer and AVG TuneUp offer generous 10-device licenses. That's a welcome benefit in the age of the multi-PC home. Unlike most PC tune-up utilities, Iolo System Mechanic lets you install the software on any number of computers, provided that it's not for business purposes.
