LAS VEGAS, NV, CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW– January 7, 2008 – Today, iolo technologies announces a major update to its top-selling System Mechanic® the number one best selling PC tune up software. The update is available at no additional cost to all subscribers and current version users. Review copies are available to qualified members of the news media today at Showstoppers, Wynn Hotel, Las Vegas, booth 33A or by contacting iolo directly.
The new version offers the best of both worlds to satisfy iolo’s growing user base – one step automatic ease of use for the novice users to automatically tune and maintain their PCs for peak performance and stability plus the power for advanced users to go deep under the hood and squeeze extra horsepower out of their PCs with over 70 cutting edge tune-up, optimization, repair, and maintenance tools.
Bypassing the standard software industry practice of withholding major improvements until the next whole-numbered version is released, iolo announced that it would offer this major update to current users for free, with vastly improved product ergonomics, modernized look and feel, and an array of functional enhancements for more robust system tune-up, repair, and maintenance.
The new set of enhancements was such an immediate success with critics and beta-testers that iolo CEO Noah Rowles felt it should be shared with current users as soon as possible. “Our customers are going to be treated to a significant product advancement,” Rowles said. “With this new version, we’re maintaining our position at the forefront of the rapidly evolving utility software market, and diligently focusing on our roots as the maker of the number one product that completely rejuvenates, protects and maintains even old, tired PCs and makes them run like new again.”
System Mechanic:
- makes old PCs run like new
- cleans up system-clogging clutter
- boosts PC and internet speed up to 300% and automatically eliminates slowdowns, crashes and freezes
The new System Mechanic also includes:
- New improved UI with options for both novice and advanced users
- An improved disk defragmentation tool, which now defrags drives up to 70% faster than before and up to 30 times faster than the standard Windows defragmenter.
- Advancements in iolo’s proprietary low-level defragmentation functions that intelligently arrange drive contents for maximum performance and longer lasting data contiguity and disk life.
PC tuneup isn’t just for experts — the majority of computer slowdowns and problems are caused by errors, fragmentation and clutter that result from normal everyday use. All computer users, especially gamers and anyone using video-intensive applications, should frequently tune their PC.
“The new version is System Mechanic is now easier to use and more accessible to our growing market of new less technical customers, yet at the same time has power and flexibility for the hardcore PC technophiles, the people who made iolo such a success from the beginning,” Rowles said.
