Overall: 75%

 
System Mechanic won't replace Norton Utilities or other giant software utilities but it accomplishes with success some specific tasks that other utilities don't manage. System Mechanic is the ideal Windows companion to better management and tweaking. Even if it contains few bugs that'll be certainly fix in the near future, this software does its job correctly and easily so it's a good buy for every experienced and expert user.
