SYSTEMMECHANIC19is a
comprehensive tool that
provides everything you
need to clean and speed up
your PC, fix system problems
and protect your privacy.
If your PC isn’t
performing, forinstance,
System Mechanic will help
you defragment your hard
drive,optimise your internet
connection settings forfaster
downloads, defrag the
Registry,optimise the boot
process by removing
unnecessary startup
programs, and temporarily
boost performance by
closing down selected
background processes.
Each of these functions in
turn delivers farmore than you might expect.
Forone thing, you don’t just get adefrag module:
System Mechanic also uses the Program Accelerator,
optimising applications by grouping related files
together,while enhanced AcceleWritetechnology
helps to improve the efficiency of your drives, and
the SSD Accelerator keeps solid-statedrives running
at their peak performance levels.
It’s the same across the suite, with powerful
features and functionality everywhere you look.

There are tools here to defragment and compact the
Registry,repair hard disk problems, enhance system
security,locateunnecessary duplicatefiles, or
recover from disaster if Windows won’t boot.
AWindows tweaking tool provides easy access to
more than 100 keyWindows settings, and an
Advanced Uninstaller completely removes apps to
free up hard disk space –and you could still create
avery capable maintenance suitefrom the other
tools that we don’t have space to mention.
r
GENIETIMELINE10Home is an extremely
easy-to-use backup tool that works almost
entirely automatically.
When you first launch it, you simply select
the destination drive foryour backups, then tick
boxes to confirm the type of file you’d like to back
up (Office files, pictures, emails, music, documents
and so on). If you want to define specific files or
folders to back up,then you can do that, too.

Once this is all set up,there’s no need to do
anything else.The program runs when your files
have changed and your PC is idle; if it’s interrupted,
such as if your PC closes down or reboots, the
process will resume later,where it leftoff. Also,ifyou
need to restore one or two files at some later date, or
your entire backup,the Restore tool makes it easy.
Genie Timeline Home has been enhanced with
lots of new features. Backup speeds are twice the
speed of the previous version, and
the software is generally smarter: it’s
less likely to store multiple copies of
the same file,thus reducing space
requirements. Restoring files is now
quicker and simpler,and Explorer
folder icons will now have amarker
to indicatewhich ones are backed up.
The Home edition allows you to
run your backups on aschedule,and
more frequently –uptoevery 30
minutes, as opposed to every eight
hours forthe Free edition. It also
supports Disaster Recovery,so
you can restore your PC even if
Windows won’t boot. As well as all
that, backups can be compressed
to reduce space,aGame/Movie
mode reduces alerts, and you’re
allowed to use it commercially.
