Another program to add in the category of suspicious Windows optimization tool is Wise System Mechanic. It belongs to a group of software that keeps on re-branding their product and mislead users through illicit promotional schemes. Official website states that Wise System Mechanic can speed up Windows PC through unique features such as registry cleanup, add-on remover, start-up manager, and so on.
We were very skeptical about Wise System Mechanic since the acquisition is somehow invasive. It comes alongside other potentially unwanted program. During installation, we noticed that the product itself is a software bundle. It will install other applications aside from Wise System Mechanic. As shown in the image below, Driver Updater is part of the package. It will be loaded on the system automatically if user is not paying close attention during the install process.
After installation, Wise System Mechanic initializes the scan immediately. Similar to other variants like Advanced PC Mechanic and Master PC Cleaner, numerous errors, security threats, and software issues were presented. Obviously, these are just scare tactics to indicate that user’s PC is in serious troubles. Unfortunately, Wise System Mechanic will never allow user to fix any issues with paying for the registered version. Any attempt to resolve identified problems is subsequently prompted with activation window.
Instead of spending for this product, it is much wiser to utilize free and trusted optimization tools. We suggest removing Wise System Mechanic immediately. This process is straightforward and can be achieve via Add-Remove Program area of Windows system. If you need much detailed procedures, please browse the special section on this page.
