It might be an idea to just wipe the program before we go as far as to start formatting and reinstalling.
Mind you, I'd say it might be something other than the System Mechanic being the problem, I dug up a few reviews of it, just googled in case someone had similar issues and there was an easy solution, and it generally scored high. For the most part the only complaints anyone had were about the interface and documentation.
Considered downloading some new AV software and giving it a spin? Might be there's something your old stuff isn't catching. Have you tried a HijackThis check?
