System mechanic 11 Standard Brings Full Power to your PC: Review & Giveaway

Few days ago, I wrote about System Mechanic 11 Free Version. Actually, I was offered to wrote about the paid version some time ago and since the software does have many features, I had split that to two reviews by first writing about the free version.

All those features make System Mechanic a suite that one can hardly complain about.

Registry Life: A Tool for Maintaining Windows Registry - Review

Windows registry is important for its proper functioning. Windows default commands and commands for the installed software is embedded in the registry. So, if registry becomes corrupted, things will start malfunctioning. Ideally a software uninstallation should remove all the registry entries that software creates during installation or during its function. Unfortunately in most cases this does not happen. Also Windows itself stores junk registries time to time. With the increase in duration of computer usage, unneeded registry entries get accumulated and chances of false or invalid commands from those useless registries increase and Windows start slowing down. Also, fragmentation in registry is a factor that grows with time. Response from Windows registry slows down with fragmentation.

There have been two schools of thought regarding cleaning up and optimization of Windows registry. In spite of the above mentioned facts (hypothesis !!) some do not believe in the utility of registry maintenance while some does believe in that. A common point of belief is that registry cleaning should be done with proper knowledge since it could be dangerous if edited improperly.

Registry Life is a free utility from ChemTable Software that does the registry cleaning and optimization with ease. It offers automatic backup, exclusion, manual selection of reported registry entries. Please note that registry maintenance software does its job based on some algorithms and so none is perfect to identify the real situation. So, when using registry cleaning you need to manually justify whether only useless registry entries are getting removed.

Review: System Mechanic 11 Free - An Outstanding System Maintenance Suite

Although an Operating System acts like a Robot and just responds to sensory input, it does have some feature like a live species. It ages out like human or like any other live species with time. There are lots of sources of such aging like fragmentation in disk and registry, lots of junk files, invalid and junk registry entries, lots of unnecessary service and start-up items. Unlike a living system it is possible to repair and regenerate the youth of operating systems through proper maintenance.
Experts hold various different opinions regarding the mode of maintenance of an Operating systems. To be on the safe side it is preferable to try each and every mode and see its outcome. In this connection, it is worthy to mention that some operating system problems may originate from faulty hardware components like Hard Disk, Sata Cable, Motherboard, SMPS etc.
I usually perform maintenance of the operating system only when I see noticeable slowdown or system issues. Personally, I prefer to manually edit, clean things or with the help of minimum automation (software), because that gives me more pleasure and command over the changes to be performed. But those who are not so technically inclined and just want to have everything done with a few clicks of mouse, there are a number of system maintenance suites, free and paid. From my experience with those suites, most of those are either unable to cover up the entire maintenance protocols or just make false claims. There are only a few trustworthy suites available and System Mechanic from Iolo Technologies is one of such kind. This suite has both free and paid versions available and in this post I will be discussing about the Free product. The US based company recently has launched System Mechanic 11.
