Most of us have noticed that the longer we use our computers, the slower they get. In fact, the problem is so common that people assume it’s unavoidable and just part of a natural “aging process” of PCs.
The Fix: Program Accelerator™ uses a patent-pending calibration technology to determine which program files are misaligned and should be grouped together for the fastest possible access. Once the dependent application files are realigned, the result is more efficient startup and more responsive performance from all of your programs.
The Fix: Memory Mechanic® reclaims valuable memory and tackles both corruption issues: it allows Windows to reassemble memory into neat, contiguous order and it frees the memory held captive by memory leaks. (Read more about how Memory Mechanic works.)
The Fix: Startup Optimizer™ uses research-based program classifications from iolo Labs to automatically detect unneeded (as well as potentially hazardous) startup items. Your important programs load, but the unnecessary ones are turned off and prevented from clogging up the Windows startup process. (Read more about how Startup Optimizer works.)
The Fix: CRUDD Remover™ detects and displays the redundant programs that can impact your PC’s performance and stability, and then you can decide which programs you want to keep or remove. By removing redundant programs, you eliminate unnecessary processing, free up drive space, and remove program conflicts.
By focusing on these critical areas and using the options provided by System Mechanic in this article, you can reverse the digital aging process and experience noticeably better overall PC performance and reliability. With this regular maintenance, your system and its programs can remain as quick and responsive as the first day you used them.
1. Program Misalignment
The Symptoms: Your programs take longer to open and, once opened, they respond more slowly. When you have multiple applications running, you experience lockups or crashes.
The Problem: Over time, the many interdependent files that make up a program tend to drift apart and become scattered across the hard drive. This misalignment not only impacts the speed at which your programs can run, it also causes excessive movement of the hard drive, which leads to unnecessary wear-and-tear on your hardware.
The Fix: Program Accelerator™ uses a patent-pending calibration technology to determine which program files are misaligned and should be grouped together for the fastest possible access. Once the dependent application files are realigned, the result is more efficient startup and more responsive performance from all of your programs.

2. Available RAM Decline
The Symptoms: Your PC gets progressively slower throughout the day, even after restarting. One or more of your larger programs frequently lock up. You regularly see low memory error messages.
The Problem: When memory is low, everything on your PC can suffer. The two critical problems that reduce your available RAM are (1) fragmented memory, which occurs simply with regular use—as we open, use, and close programs, and (2) memory leaks, which occur when a program doesn’t release memory after the program is closed.
The Fix: Memory Mechanic® reclaims valuable memory and tackles both corruption issues: it allows Windows to reassemble memory into neat, contiguous order and it frees the memory held captive by memory leaks. (Read more about how Memory Mechanic works.)

3. Windows Startup Traffic Jam
The Symptoms: Your PC takes longer to start than it used to, as long as 5-10 minutes (or more) in severe cases. When you start or restart your computer, you may see cryptic warnings or error messages.
The Problem: Many applications and services are set to automatically start whenever your PC is started. Some of these programs are required and should be in the startup process, but many aren’t needed and create resource bottlenecks that add to the time it takes for your PC to boot up.
The Fix: Startup Optimizer™ uses research-based program classifications from iolo Labs to automatically detect unneeded (as well as potentially hazardous) startup items. Your important programs load, but the unnecessary ones are turned off and prevented from clogging up the Windows startup process. (Read more about how Startup Optimizer works.)

4. Redundant or Unnecessary Installed Programs
The Symptoms: PC speed and responsiveness have slowed over time, particularly when running more than one program.
The Problem: As a rule, the more programs you have installed, the more work your PC has to do—and installing multiple programs that run the same functions needlessly adds to this burden. But with certain redundant programs, the problem goes beyond just wasted storage space and a larger processing load; for these applications, having multiple ones installed is actively harmful because it overloads background functioning and leads to system conflicts that slow everything down.
The Fix: CRUDD Remover™ detects and displays the redundant programs that can impact your PC’s performance and stability, and then you can decide which programs you want to keep or remove. By removing redundant programs, you eliminate unnecessary processing, free up drive space, and remove program conflicts.
