    Although some things take a little time to accomplish (they also do with other programs) It is quick to respond and very useful in giving you information as to some of the problems you may be experiencing.

    It gave me 10% more free space on my hard drive, but did not fix any of my problems. Computer is still slow online; still freezes and crashes. Still getting error notices for Adobe Flash Crashing and Script Error. I don't know if that is a virus or something else. Beware it may not fix your problem.

    System Mechanic Premium States It "Fixs Errors And Crashes" "Rescues Non Starting P.C.'s" Mine Has A Boot-Up Problem, Small Print On Side Of Box States, System Requires "Internet Connection", The Modem And All Other Hardware Works Fine, And I Do Have Internet Connection Available. When Computer Boots Up The P.C. Will Access Internet. If Computer Does Not Boot-Up, Internet Connection Is Pointless. Called The Customer Assistance Number, After Finally Getting A Human (Located In Another Country?) Who Was Less Than Useless... Long Story Short, Program Didn't Work, Customer Assistance Only Ate Up My Phone Minutes, The Computer Is Just Collecting Dust, And I Am Out $$.$$ For Software That Does Not Perform As Promised.

    Easy to load and set your preferences. Recommend this product to clean registry, performance and to speed up your system. Works better than Norton which I dumped.

    Absolutely horrible product and worse technical support. I was able to load the software, but following what the program deemed a successful activation, it returned to the screen requiring activation. Multiple calls to their tech support finally resulted in a promise that I was first in line in their support queue. After waiting for 2 days and no call back, I returned the software to Best Buy. Avoid this product which is only supported by lies.
