If you’re looking for an optimal solution to enhance security and improve performance for your computer, then with System Mechanic Professional (SMP) version 6.0 recently released by Iolo, you’ll have everything you need at your fingertips.
SMP is the most comprehensive system care and security center ever developed by Iolo. Six award-winning product packages have now been ‘consolidated’ into a single toolset. Your feelings of anxiety and insecurity regarding online threats (viruses, spyware, hackers…) and frequent issues during use (unable to boot into Windows, data loss, hard drive failure…) can completely disappear from here on! The SMP v6.0 has a size of 32.36 MB and is compatible with all Windows versions, with a 30-day trial available for download at http://download.ord.iolo.net/sm/6pro/trial/SystemMechanic6Pro.exe (or available for purchase at computer service stores).
During the installation process, if you choose the Full Installation mode, you will have access to all tools provided by Iolo, including: System Mechanic Professional (comprehensive maintenance and optimization for the system), Search and Recover (recovering accidentally deleted data from most devices), DriveScrubber (safely erasing data from the hard drive without any recovery tool being able to restore it), System Shield (cleaning up memory areas that still retain information about sensitive data you previously deleted), Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal (a powerful antivirus program from Kaspersky), and Kaspersky Anti-Hacker (a high-level firewall from Kaspersky). If you want to use Kaspersky’s antivirus and firewall program, you must first uninstall any pre-installed programs with similar functions to avoid conflicts between applications. The interface of SMP is designed to be very appealing, featuring notable functional groups as follows:
