Вряд ли кто будет отрицать, что надежная работа компьютера во многом зависит от степени ухода за ним. Не подумайте только, что речь идет о необходимости регулярной протирки монитора, системного блока и клавиатуры от пыли. Это - само собой. Под "уходом" в данном случае подразумевается регулярная очистка жесткого диска от ненужных файлов или их дубликатов (включая cookies и кэш браузера), гарантированное удаление информации, которую не должны видеть посторонние, настройка параметров Windows (в том числе и оптимизация настроек подключения к Интернету) ,оптимизация реестра, надежная защита антивирусом и файерволом , и еще желательно, чтобы все это происходило в автоматическом режиме - вот для этого и была создана замечательная программа System Mechanic 8.0.0.17 Professional. Прекрасно работает и с Windows Vista!

What's new in version 8:
- ActiveCare® 2.0 keeps your PC running like new — Now smarter, leaner and fully configurable
New ActiveCare 2.0 just got leaner, smarter, and even better at keeping your PC humming along at full speed. And it does this silently in the background, only working when your PC is on but not in use.
ActiveCare 2.0 has new options to give you full control over how and when it runs, and ActiveCare's idle-time processing has been refined to detect battery power, CPU activity, and more, so that it truly does operate without ever interfering.

- Defragment and Compact Registry tool — Registry optimization with graphical feedback
Our next–generation Defragment and Compact Registry tool now performs a comprehensive analysis of your registry, detects performance–draining bloat, and displays wasted space with instructive, color–coded graphics. It then removes the bloat and defragments your registry at the next system startup.

- DriveSense™ — Real-time hard drive status
For expert users, the new DriveSense™ provides real–time data about the status of hard drives, including drive temperature and other indicators of drive reliability.
