I've used System Mechanic 6.0 for years. Works OK (but seems to generate a lot of false positives: reporting problems that don't exist). It does find and fix many real problems, though.
I upgraded to 7.5 (which now means a year-by-year subscription, so you either pay another $40 once a year or the application stops working).
7.5 is supposed to be Vista compatible, so I bought it.
7.5 is NOT compatible with Safari for Windows on either my Vista or my XP desktops. I'm certain of this, having uninstalled 7.5 and reinstalled 6.0 twice. With 6.0 installed Safari works; with 7.5 installed Safari does not work (it hangs).
I send tech reports to iolo and they never respond. They send me the latest updater (7.5.11) but it doesn't fix the Safari problem.
I will not renew the subscription. It's a good program (one bug for me is not a deal-killer) but ZERO tech support is total bullshit. They have lost me as a customer.
