About System Mechanic
System Mechanic PC Tune-up software includes a suite of automated tools that clean out hard drive clutter, repair registries, defragment drives and memory, manage applications, speed up internet connections, and remove spyware from a computer. Corrupt files, bad settings, and tangled registries will degrade a PC's performance over time, leading to crashes, slowdowns, and system errors.
