Tune Your System With System Mechanic Professional
Your system starts to slow down a few months after you purchased it. What could be causing it? Viruses? Spyware? Junk files? Memory not getting released by poorly designed programs? How about obsolete registry entries? How about all of the above? If so, what can be done about this situation?
I first tested System Mechanic Professional in 2006 and was impressed by its ability to do batch system optimizations and repairs, ones you could schedule after hours. When I remembered to keep the machine on, the scheduled actions took place. When my machine began to slow down, I realized the Total Care batch program hadn't been run in awhile, due to my negligence.
Now, among the new release's impressive features is real-time optimization, which occurs as you use your computer (more accurately, when it's idle). This means that you can specify that it scan the system for such problems as restoring memory that sloppy programs failed to release, recovering space from temporary Windows clutter, and scanning the system for viruses and spyware. You don't have to do anything! There is even a System Mechanic gadget that sits on your desktop, showing you what it's monitoring and fixing (either always on top or only when the desktop is displayed), in case you're compulsive and need to fix manually something before the automation can set in. Oddly, I've had it disappear a few times, but it's a simple matter to redisplay it through the Windows 7 gadget applet.
You can program the system to speed up system startups, but that becomes a moot point if you specify that you want your registry compressed and cleaned each time your computer is turned on. Unfortunately, there's no way to program System Mechanic to do this, say every fifteen days. It's either every day or never. If it makes you feel any better, there is some disagreement among techies on the Web as to whether registry optimization really helps much. I haven't noticed any notable speed improvement after a registry optimization, either by this program or any other, but maybe that's just me.
How to Uninstall System Mechanic
To uninstall System Mechanic of whatever version, apart from deleting its files, you have to find and erase all relevant registry keys. Trust me it's not an easy task and you have to be very careful when doing it.
First you have to shut it down. As an excellent PC optimization and maintenance utility, Mechanic has to "spread" its services to almost every part of your system. So simply a shutting down of the main programs may not totally bring down this app. Try task manager by Ctrl+Alt+Del, look for every entry related to System Mechanic and "kill" it. Or, if you are like me, who has no confident messing with the task manager but really wants to uninstall System Mechanic, the fast and most effective way is to get into your system Safe Mode, in where none of associated files will be loaded. Always remember that fully closure is a must for a successful uninstall.
Next thing is to delete all files and registry leftovers. Normally it's no problem going to Control Panel->Add/Remove programs in Safe Mode, but this does not help you successfully uninstall System Mechanic every time, especially when the program is damaged or corrupted. Here is a tip: whatever happens after using the Control Panel, locate the following files:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\IncContxMenu.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Incinerator.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\iolobtdfg.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\smrgdf.exe
When you find any of them, delete them and take out all relevant registry information. Now here comes another problem, as all the registry keys are in separate places and extremely difficult to pinpoint, you may be once again feeling like a headache as you don't know how to work with the Registry Editor! Well, time to get a help. A small application named Perfect Uninstall will come as your final solution to fully uninstall System Mechanic. How it be real effective is, when you indicate those files to Perfect Uninstaller, it not only deletes the files, but also scans and takes out all relevant registry keys/entries, after that, it will scan your computer again, making sure no remnants escape. I guess sometimes it's just so easy to have a professional tool at hand when you think you got stuck by all means.
