This review is from: iolo System Mechanic - Download

Pros:

None. I do not know what it is supposed to do; I got bundled with some other software I wanted. But it cannot be made to work.

Cons:

It absolutely does not work unless your Internet Explorer is version 9 or older.
First I installed it from my regular user account in Windows and used my admin password to authorize installation. Then it did not work, and it took me several days to get an email response from tech support telling me to remove and re-install it.
Second, after re-installation, it did nothing. Occasionally it displayed a horizontal bar in the lower right corner of the desktop, but no message and no interactivity. When the program was started manually, the program's window showed several error messages, and there was no way to resolve them or to get the program to do anything. Tech support replied after two days telling me to roll Internet Explorer back to version 9. I rejected this advice and posted more questions on my ticket. After a few more days, finally, they tell me that the program cannot work unless Internet Explorer is 9 or older. IE 10 was released in October 2012 and IE 11 in December 2013. Apparently this company is not doing any development for at least 15 months.
