System Mechanic is a registry cleaner that has received mixed reviews from professional and amateur reviewers alike. Many professional reviewers have given it largely positive reviews, while ordinary users have scored it slightly lower. Most reviewers are in agreement that this software is a relatively effective registry cleaner in spite of its flaws and that it does a better job of explaining its processes than some other registry cleaners.

Reviewers are divided over System Mechanic’s “Mechanic Tips” that guide users through the registry cleaning process. Some find them clear and precise, while others require more details. Either way, most users agree that the process of registry cleaning itself is a simple one with this program.

Even if the user selects the automatic repair option, the software will walk the user through the process with clear and concise details.

- Displays progress bars during the scan. Some reviewers claim these bars to accurately represent the remaining amount of time in the scan while others claim them to be inaccurate.
- Upon completion, it may require a system restart. Some users complained of altered or unnecessarily deleted files, while others claim that their computers were indeed faster than they had been before the scan.

Norton Utilities rates last place on some registry cleaner lists not because it is terrible but because it is not particularly good. The biggest reviewer complaints stem from the fact that this program is expensive yet many of their supposed accessories are simply links to existing programs that are usually included with the average Windows software bundle. In spite of these complaints, the software cleans the registry well–most of the time.
Summary:
Another user complaint about Norton Utilities is that this registry cleaner software does not feature the convenient and simple one click scanning for which many other brands of registry cleaners are known. Using the program is not difficult, but it includes more steps than do some of its competitors.
- Runs immediately upon installation, launching an overall Windows registry scan.
- Lists the number of discovered errors and problems and gives the user the option of running individual programs to address part of the errors.
- Fixes the errors in the registry based on the choices of the user; test results show this software to fall in the middle to low range as far as error detection and system speed increase.
