Since I was a Sys Mech Premium subscriber I thought well it's a nice bonus. The first thing I noticed was the new 'security' products and services spam that dominated the interface. You could tell the guys/gals that developed this were 'nerds' and loved what they did and it showed in aces. It was a wonderful product and I happily paid the sub fee. Follow on scans were much shorter and continued to tweak this or that. Everything was better - internet connection speed, hard disk access, just to name a couple. The difference was om on button to ready to go desk top it took about 15 seconds. I rebooted my computer (for some things you had to back then). When I clicked on the fix button that also took quite a while to finish. The first scan took a long time and when done the results were mind numbing.literally hundreds of issues (some trivial of course but some big ones too.) Prior to my first scan I ran my go to 3 or 4 utilities to see what if anything Sys Mech might pick up that they didn't. I had tried many of the programs out there and while they worked to an extent, none of them did the CAT scan that Sys Mech did. When Sys Mech came out there was nothing else close to it on the market. Something needs to be said about the sad, sad decline of the product. Overall Opinion: I normally don't post reviews but as a long time System Mechanic subber I had to once I saw Mike's opinion above.
