Total Performance, Protection & Privacy for Your Digital Life

Description

System Mechanic Ultimate Defense is the all-in-one suite
of iolo’s premiere security, privacy and optimization products.

There are a frightening number of security and performance vulnerabilities in modern computing as methods for stealing your data, hacking your PC or bogging you down in bloatware, spam and pop-up ads grow more sophisticated every minute.

In such fraught times, iolo technologies, maker of the best-selling PC optimization software System Mechanic®, delivers the most comprehensive security, privacy and optimization package yet to help safeguard, speed up and simplify your digital life.

Prevent Windows Slowdown with System Mechanic

The seven-time winner of the PC Magazine Editors’ Choice Award, System Mechanic is the only performance solution that first deploys a series of complex automated maintenance actions to help keep your PC stable and clutter-free.

System Mechanic then goes to work using proprietary technology to precision-tune dozens of internet, processor, memory and hard drive settings in real time for maximum system speed and performance.

Online Privacy Protection with Privacy Guardian

Online privacy protection thwarts browser fingerprinting scripts by scrambling the data they rely upon to gain vast amounts of personal information about you.

Imagine being denied credit because a company has secretly collected data, however out of context, that suggests you are an irresponsible shopper. That is just one of the many ways personal data collected online can be used against you.

Privacy Guardian works to help protect you from targeted ads, identity theft, fraud and invasion of privacy. Surf privately and secure your browsers for true online privacy.

Safe, Simple Password Security with ByePass

ByePass simplifies your digital life while securing it. ByePass is a platform-agnostic, secure password manager that also helps protect your online purchases.

With ByePass, malicious intermediaries are also thwarted from stealing your credit card info because the numbers are locally encrypted and only deployed as needed to make purchases.

Never again will you need to insecurely type or store passwords and credit cards in your web browser where keyloggers and hackers can steal them.

Block Malware with System Shield

System Shield is a VB100-certified anti-malware solution that deploys both reactive and proactive malware detection strategies.

A reactive strategy detects viruses using published malware signature detection.
A proactive strategy uses sophisticated behavior-monitoring techniques to build a general sense of whether a given file intends to harm your computer, stopping attacks before a security patch for a particular threat is released.

Find and Destroy Existing Malware with Malware Killer

Malware is a rapidly growing threat today as almost one million new viruses, worms, Trojans, rootkits and species of spy- and ransomware are released daily.

Yet most anti-malware software on the market only blocks malware and has no way to remove it from a computer once infected. Several antivirus manufacturers instead even direct customers to costly premium phone support to help remove malware remotely.

Malware Killer is the nuclear option that finds and removes dangerous malware from already-infected computers.

Malware Killer is unique among malware remediation software because it uses proprietary Scan Cloud™-based scanning and analysis, enabled by its own carefully developed heuristics algorithm to dramatically reduce detection time for brand new outbreaks. This method allows Malware Killer to continually add to a vast “reputation database,” and even detect previously unknown threats.

Recover Lost Data with Search and Recover

Search and Recover deploys powerful technology to retrieve items many other file-recovery products miss. Rescue critical work and cherished memories you thought were lost for good.

Get back accidentally deleted documents, music, photos, email, videos, system files and even entire folders from many types of hard drives, cameras and other devices.

Permanently Erase Sensitive Data with DriveScrubber

DriveScrubber safely and permanently deletes sensitive data from entire hard drives with military-grade file deletion technology.

Threats to your privacy and security come in many forms. One way is when users fail to eradicate their personal information when selling, donating or recycling a computer.

What’s new in System Mechanic 21? Back to the top

System Mechanic has a new look:

New! Streamlined installation flow

A modern redesign streamlines and simplifies the user experience. Enhancements include:

New! Streamlined installation flow

We significantly reduced the steps to install System Mechanic, given you quicker access to the powerful suite of System Mechanic products.

New! Clean and simplified dashboard

We gave System Mechanic a fresh new look to showcase the best System Mechanic has to offer, while also making it easier for you to navigate through the product.

New! In-product tutorials

Helpful dialog bubbles point you toward and guide the best use of the powerful features within System Mechanic.

New! Network Scanner

This new feature scans for devices on your network using bandwidth that could be causing congestion.

If you are experiencing significant slowdown, it may indicate that router ports are open and vulnerable to inviting spoofed DNS and other malicious queries.
Hackers use automated scanners to check for open router ports and label them susceptible to attack.
Open ports will eventually attract attacks that try and guess your router login credentials, but threats go far beyond this.
Security cameras, thermostats, gaming consoles, smart TVs, phones, speakers and many other connected devices can be exposed to hacks.
You could even be recruited as part of a Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack, which saps bandwidth you've paid for.
Network Scanner finds and lists active and potentially vulnerable devices, helping you avoid unnecessary slowdown and protect your home from malicious threats.

New! Process Scanner

Now you can also scan your computer for processes that are currently draining the most system resources, likely leading to preventable slowdown.

The perfect complement to the bloatware-finding feature Startup Optimizer™
Lists unnecessary processes currently running in real time
The most system-taxing items are listed first
Recommends terminating or uninstalling apps you may no longer need

Enhanced! Antivirus Protection

The real-time antivirus protection System Shield® has been updated with a new AV engine to intelligently discover and block the latest threats.

AI-based threat detection

Like Malware Killer, System Shield now uses machine learning to spot potential new threats. The new artificial intelligence trains itself with ever-improving models to identify suspicious behavior without depending on existing malware samples as a reference.

Macro variant detection

This new feature looks for new versions of known Macro viruses, which are particularly stealthy viruses written using macros typically found in word processing applications.

Packed executables detection

Viruses that are “packed” have been compressed, and will decompress at run time. This malicious tactic turns known threats into something much harder for scanners to detect. The new System Shield identifies suspicious packed files, even if they are not yet recognized as malware.

Improved virus definitions

The new streamlined infection signature process delivers a smaller footprint, with more efficiency and laser-focused precision.
