      <![CDATA[<p><font size="2"><img alt="" hspace="7" src="http://www.iolo.com/images/zones/sm/box/6pro/medium.jpg" align="left" vspace="7" />You all know the symptons -- your computer starts to seem a little sluggish, then you notice it definitely IS sluggish and apps seem to take longer and longer to load.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">Well, that means it's time to <strong>tune up the computer system</strong> -- even if you have been diligent about cleaning out your Internet cache and other good maintenance habits.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">I've just run <strong><a href="http://www.iolo.com/sm/6pro/index.cfm">System Mechanic Professional 6</a></strong> on my PC and the difference is amazing!&nbsp; Boot up time has been reduced, apps and docs open quickly, windows open and shut without the mouse turning into that dreaded &quot;hour glass&quot; icon.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">Here's look at what my tune-up consisted of:</font></p>
<ul>
    <li><font size="2"><strong>Security Optimizer</strong> Wizard finds dangerous Windows security flaws and automatically repairs them</font> </li>
    <li><font size="2"><strong>Startup Optimizer</strong> decreases boot-time finds and eliminates dangerous and unnecessary programs,&nbsp;increasing productivity and security</font> </li>
    <li><font size="2"><strong>Advanced Startup Manager</strong> reviews the more than 20 locations where programs hide to automatically start up with Windows. In coordination with&nbsp;Startup Guard technology&nbsp;to&nbsp;permanently block dangerous and unnecessary programs</font> </li>
    <li><font size="2"><strong>Spython</strong> integrates new, proactive, &ldquo;always-on&rdquo; protection from spyware, malware, adware and unauthorized surveillance software</font> </li>
    <li><font size="2"><strong>High-speed Disk Defragmentation Tool</strong> defragments hard drives up to twice as fast as previous System Mechanic versions and up to 10 times faster than the Windows defragmenter</font> </li>
    <li><font size="2"><strong>Enhanced Registry optimization</strong> technology finds and fixes even more Registry problems that cripple systems&nbsp;(but it's&nbsp;a good idea to back up the Registry first)</font> </li>
    <li><font size="2"><strong>Drive Medic</strong> finds and fixes hard drive problems before they can cause data loss or system failure</font> </li>
</ul>
<p><font size="2">MSRP: Single user, $69.95; upgrade, $39.95; free 30-day trial.</font></p>
