			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The System Mechanic software has been around for ages and the developers have recently introduced version 8 of their troubleshooting and maintenance product that is compatible with the 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows XP and Windows 2000.</p>
<p>The software provides access to various tools that repair so called &#8220;problems&#8221;, make the computer faster and fix security vulnerabilities. You are asked for example at the first start after installing System Mechanic 8 to perform a scan of your system.</p>
<p>That scan is detecting security vulnerabilities (automatic updates service not running), Registry problems, System Clutter but also unnecessary startup items and an unoptimized Internet speed. The user has the choice to let System Mechanic handle the errors and repair them automatically or view a list of the errors that have been found and correct them on a one on one basis which is definitely recommended.</p>
<p><span id="more-5499"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/system_mechanic-500x373.jpg" alt="system mechanic" title="system mechanic" width="500" height="373" class="size-medium wp-image-5500" /></p>
<p>Users who download and install System Mechanic will spend some time exploring all the menus and tools that are available.</p>
<p>Several of those tools that are provided by the software are available in free versions as well. Say <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2008/03/17/run-ccleaner-automatically-on-all-accounts/">CCleaner</a> for removing system clutter or Regfrag to <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2008/05/13/defrag-the-registry-with-regdefrag/">defragment</a> the Windows Registry.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2008/07/22/free-full-version-system-mechanic-8-registration-license-key-code/">Raymond</a> discovered a way to grab a free copy of System Mechanic 8 including license code that is good for six months. Here is a quick rundown of the process. I suggest you visit Raymond&#8217;s website if you are stuck somewhere because he explains the process in details.</p>
<ul>
<li>Visit the System Mechanic Promotional <a href="http://iolo.com/ads/computeractive/200806/smpromo.aspx">page</a> and click through the process. You have to enter some data like name, email. In the end the serial number will be send to your inbox.</li>
<li>Grab the latest version of System Mechanic 8 from <a href="http://download.iolo.net/sm/8/trial/SystemMechanic.exe">this</a> download site.</li>
<li>Install it, use the serial number from the email to activate it.</li>
</ul>
