What’s New in System Mechanic® 21
December 2020
System Mechanic® enhancements:
System Mechanic has a new look
A modern redesign streamlines and simplifies your experience. Enhancements include:
New Streamlined installation flow
We significantly reduced the steps to install System Mechanic, giving 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
New in System Mechanic Pro® and System Mechanic® Ultimate Defense™:
All of the above System Mechanic features are included in System Mechanic Pro and System Mechanic Ultimate Defense, plus:
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.
