Iolo System Mechanic 7 Professional has lost its focus as one of the premier system utility suites on the market. Included within this latest release are other standalone Iolo products -- including Search and Recover 3, Iolo Antivirus, Iolo AntiSpyware, Iolo Firewall, and Iolo DiskScrubber -- which should, on the face of it, make this a great bargain at only AU$120. But as an all-in-one utility now, security suite System Mechanic fails, lacking the antispam, antiphishing and antirootkit protection found in competing Internet Security suites.
Also, Iolo has changed the system utility tools, and not for the better. Part of System Mechanic's allure was its position as the anti-Norton SystemWorks utility suite, providing useful system tools without all the extra baggage of a Symantec product. System Mechanic 7 Professional has instead moved closer to Symantec Norton SystemWorks, loading itself up with extras you might not use while urging you to accept its findings without providing context or sometimes even a choice.
We prefer the older versions of System Mechanic, which focused on system utilities and clearly spelled out what it was doing and why; System Mechanic 7 Professional too often feels like a hot-shot garage mechanic that recommends an oil change even though your car has barely driven 3000 miles. For those interested in upgrading, we suggest you keep System Mechanic 6 Professional a while longer. At this writing we're still awaiting the latest release of Norton SystemWorks (which, we're told, will be redesigned and fully compatible with Windows Vista); stay tuned.
