Open Up Your Windows with Desktop Mechanic

PC Tools has unveiled Desktop Mechanic 2.0 for consumers who typically can't access sophisticated Windows optimization tools to enhance their computer's performance. Novice users no longer need to rush out and call a techie when their computer faces performance anxiety, Desktop Mechanic 2.0 is their first point of call in solving these issues quickly and easily.

At the same time, Desktop Mechanic incorporates the core strengths of Privacy Guardian to protect user privacy by erasing the record of sites visited, cleaning temporary files, and bleaching information so it can not be recovered after deletion. Overall, Desktop Mechanic leverages the knowledge of advanced technical users and provides the novice user with a simple interface and access to powerful optimization tools. Desktop Mechanic is your very own personal in-house techie; Greene explained that Desktop Mechanic 2.0 offers three major components:
- Computer Optimization: With a single click Desktop Mechanic 2.0 applies a set of tweaks and patches directly into the Window Registry designed to improve system performance — this includes accessing Windows Defrag — cleaning, repairing and compacting the registry as well as shutting down the computer faster by simply closing frozen programs.
- Privacy cleaning — user privacy is maintained by wiping out all traces of online site visit activity; bleaching hard-disk "white space" (deleted files) ensuring information can never be recovered; and dumping windows temp files freeing space on the hard drive.
- CPU monitoring—consumers can watch system activity, processes, disk space, and CPU/Memory usage.
