\u00a0Overtime, PC&#8217;s begin to get run down due to digital clutter, fragmentation, and corruption that occur from virus threats and everyday use. \u00a0You may have noticed that your PC doesn&#8217;t seem to be handle everything as quickly as it used to be.<\/p>\n<p>I have certainly noticed that with my computer. \u00a0I&#8217;ll be the first to admit that I work my computer hard. \u00a0Right now I have 59 tabs open in Google Chrome. \u00a0And that&#8217;s after I closed down a number of them! \u00a0And this is not uncommon, but more the norm for my daily work. \u00a0At the same time, I also usually always have Excel, Word, Internet Explorer (with another 5-6 tabs open), File Manger (with 4-5 sessions open), and a couple of other programs open.<\/p>\n<p>I bought a computer that can handle this load, but I have been having problems lately that have caused long lags and delays, causing me to need to use another computer to finish my work at times.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m hoping you don&#8217;t run your computer that hard, but frankly, you don&#8217;t need to for clutter and fragmentation to occur. \u00a0Is it time for a new computer? \u00a0Perhaps not! \u00a0You may find that it&#8217;s time to spring clean your PC\u00a0to get that hard-working computer back up to snuff.<\/p>\n<p>Years ago, we reviewed <a href=\"https:\/\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/2010\/02\/08\/clean-out-your-computer-day\/\" target=\"_blank\">System Mechanic 9.5<\/a>, a great PC cleaner, and loved it. \u00a0It&#8217;s been a number of years now and we recently installed the latest version of System Mechanic 14*! \u00a0Hmm, I wonder if I kept using System Mechanic through the years, perhaps I would be using the same PC!<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #800080;\">System Mechanic 14<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>System Mechanic 14\u00a0will\u00a0help you diagnose and repair over 30,000 different PC problems including\u00a0live updates from iolo Labs. \u00a0That&#8217;s a lot of problems. \u00a0As iolo Labs is receiving info about issues that their customers are having\u00a0with their computers, they are constantly working to create fixes to solve issues that are becoming more prevalent.<\/p>\n<p>System Mechanic 14 is similar to anti-virus software in the fact that it&#8217;s constantly being updated throughout the year and helping you to ward off PC issues that can immobilize your digital work.<\/p>\n<p>In a nutshell, System Mechanic will help your PC to&#8230;<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\"

same network, you can load and \u00a0use System Mechanic on each PC to manage them better! \u00a0No added expense of having to purchase System Mechanic for each PC<\/li>\n<li>The price is discounted right now and reasonable (especially since all PC&#8217;s in the house are included!)<\/li>\n<li>There are so many tools, we couldn&#8217;t even mention a quarter of them in this review!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The ActiveCare option needs to be turned on in order to actively run in the background to keep your PC clean. \u00a0I didn&#8217;t realize that it wasn&#8217;t on and could have avoided some PC slow-downs<\/li>\n<li>If you want System Mechanic on numerous PC&#8217;s, you do need to install it on each one individually (like any PC software works), however, it recognizes the identification code from the first PC you load with System Mechanic, so you don&#8217;t need to retype in the credentials<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here&#8217;s my initial report on my PC. \u00a0No wonder why I&#8217;ve been having so many issues! \u00a0LOL!<\/p>\n<p><a
