Press Release Summary: Product update offers improved system performance tools and a
more intuitive layout.

Press Release Body: iolo technologies has released a major update for System
Mechanic (http://www.iolo.com/sm/7/std), its top-selling PC tune-up utility. The
latest version features a more user-friendly interface and an optimized, more
powerful hard drive defragmentation tool.

iolo had planned to delay the release of these product enhancements and include them
in a future product upgrade, but feedback from critics and beta-testers was so
overwhelmingly positive that iolo CEO Noah Rowles decided to make the new features
available as soon as possible and at no cost to Version 7 and subscription
customers.

\"Our customers will enjoy a significant product advancement for free,\" said Rowles.
\"People are going to see a big difference, because the interface is unlike anything
else on the market. Yet in many ways we\'re doing returning to our roots as the one
product that can completely rejuvenate, protect and maintain even old, tired PCs and
have them running like new. Non-experts find the new interface easy to navigate. And
power PC users, the people who made iolo such a success, are getting easy access to
the tools they need to customize their systems.\"
