I found Iolo anti-virus a few years ago when I ran into problems with Norton Anti-Virus and McAffee. These two leaders in the anti-virus and computer maintenance software fields were actually causing system problems on Windows XP. It really made me mad that “fix-it” software was actually causing computer failures! I began to look for an alternative and found Iolo System Mechanic.

While some of the claims that Iolo makes are a bit far fetched, it does make a great firewall, anti-virus, and software maintenance system. There are many functions, like a registry backup, that are done automatically with Iolo. It has a very simple and straight-forward control panel to ensure that  a computer stays in good running order.

The price is less than half of it’s competitors and there is a free trial period. Just make sure that you’ve uninstalled any previous firewall or anti-virus software. This includes disabling the Microsoft firewall and anti-virus options. Click on the add below to try it out.
