Applications that improve the performance of a windows computer. The best free programs for cleaning and optimizing your computer

The article will be a useful guide for any owner of a weak laptop or computer based on the "Seven" who wants to optimize Windows work 7. Today we will consider what can be disabled in this operating system in order to increase its performance without adversely affecting the functioning.

There is no clear definition of the term. In most cases, it hides a set of measures and user actions aimed at disabling and removing unused components operating system, as well as changing its configuration in order to increase the efficiency of the latter. That is, an optimized Windows 7 will consume less hardware resources and perform its tasks with greater efficiency than an unconfigured operating system.

One of the most important slowdown factors in Win 7 is the presence of a large number items in the list of automatically launched after OS startup. Services that can be disabled in the "Seven" to speed up its work,. This article is written in detail,. You can speed up Windows 7 a little more,. How - read here. The rest of the ways to optimize the operating system for normal operation on an old PC and for running games on it will be discussed below.

System Disk Setup

The system partition must have at least a few gigabytes of free space. Even if it is quite enough, there is probably a lot of garbage in the folders for storing temporary files. No matter how we optimize the operating system, without proper maintenance hard drive most efforts will go down the drain.

How to improve HDD performance? First of all, let's clear it of temporary files. To do this, we perform the following algorithm.

  1. We call "Explorer" using Win + E.
  2. Open the "Properties" of the system volume through it context menu.
  1. Click "Cleaning ..." and wait for the cleaning program to search junk files and evaluate the freed space.
  1. We confirm our intentions.
  1. We wait until all operations are completed.
  1. Switch to the "Service" tab.
  1. We perform a click on the button "Perform defragmentation ...".
  1. Enter the command "msconfig" in the text line and execute it.
  1. Click on the "Advanced Options" button to start the system.
  1. Next to the "Number of processors" option, check the box and indicate their maximum available number.
  1. After that, we save the settings.
  1. In the System Configuration window, click OK.
  1. Remove unnecessary checkboxes and click "Install".
  1. We launch the Windows 7 accelerator directly from the installer window.
  1. Click "Registry" and start the process of searching for unnecessary keys
  1. Activate the "Fix selected ..." button and click "Yes" to create a backup copy of the deleted entries.
  1. Fixing the noted issues.
  1. We agree to backup the entire system database and wait for the operation to complete.

Instead of full backup you can simply create a restore point if the corresponding function is activated.

Before defragmenting, you can perform a full registry scan for problems and compare the results of the application with the success of CCleaner

  1. Click on the "Compression..." tab.
  1. Close all applications and click "Analyze".
  1. We do not touch anything until the computer is restarted.

Attention! During optimization, processes on a laptop or computer may not respond for a long time or freeze until the device is rebooted.

After the restart, if everything went well, the operating system will boot noticeably faster, but that's not all.

Record caching policy

Full optimization of Windows 7 cannot happen without activating the hard disk write caching option. It allows you to speed up the work with files and is not enabled by default in all Windows builds 7.

  1. Open the "Task Manager", for example, by running the command "devmgmt.msc" in the command interpreter window.
  1. Expand the branch " Disk devices”, where we open the “Properties” of our drive.
  1. Go to the "Policy" tab.
  1. Check the box indicated in the screenshot option, if it is not active, and save the settings.

Disable remote file compression

The function allows you to calculate the difference between two files (for example, an earlier and a more recent copy of a document) in order to reduce the volume when copying or replacing transmitted information. This option can be disabled, because such a function is in demand very rarely.

  1. We call the "Control Panel".
  1. In it, click "Uninstall programs" or "Programs and components", depending on the method of visualizing objects.
  1. Click on the "Turn Windows features on/off" link.

While everything is loaded, we wait. The process may take a couple of minutes or more.

  1. Uncheck the box next to the "Remote differential compression" option.

We are not in a hurry to save the new settings, since here you can remove a few more unnecessary components, for example, “Windows Search”, “TFTP Client”, “Indexing Service”, if you do not use them. If necessary, any of the elements is similarly returned back.

  1. After we save the new settings.

Improving performance by disabling visual effects

Aero, window animations, window pop-up visuals, and menus are resource-intensive but not really useful. Is that the interface elements look beautiful and animated. If the computer's graphics adapter is very outdated, and random access memory there is not much in it (~ 2 GB), you can donate the beauty and animation of interface elements in order to improve system performance without hesitation.


  1. We call "Properties" of "My Computer".

Power management

Optimize Windows 7 power last. By default, the system uses balanced mode - the golden mean between power consumption and PC efficiency. Changing your power plan can improve your computer's performance. However, it is not recommended to touch it for laptops, because the device developer has already chosen the optimal power settings for the system, including when the laptop is offline.

  1. To change the power plan, open the "Run" window with Win + R and run the "powercfg.cpl" command in it.
  2. As a result, we get more fast computer than it was before tuning. For even more acceleration, you can use an SSD as a system volume or add a bar of RAM, but that's another story.

Despite the regular updating of versions of operating systems and the increase in their quality and reliability, as well as the speed of information processing in the operation of the software, there still comes a certain moment when it happens.

Of course, the resource of normal operation of the system as a whole can be extended, given the various operating rules of the OS, however, constantly accumulating minor errors, minor failures various programs related to system files will one day cause the OS to fail.

To maintain stable operation in the system, there are special built-in utilities, but their functionality is limited and resource-intensive, so they are not always suitable for deep checking, analysis and cleaning of the OS. In this case, you should use special programs, external local action utilities.

There are a great many such programs today, many of which are practically ineffective, but from the entire arsenal for each OS, time-tested utilities are still distinguished that can restore system functions and significantly increase the life of the OS.

Using the example of Windows 7 in this article, we will consider two fairly well-known programs that meet all the requirements for optimization:

  • CCleaner;
  • Auslogics BoostSpeed.

Both programs can be downloaded for free from the Internet on the official website.

About utility utilities for OS optimization

For general information, a little deviating from the topic, let's once again recall the location of utility utilities for optimizing the OS. The main ones are:

  • Disk Defragmenter;

To use disk defragmentation or disk cleanup, we perform the following steps: open the Start menu - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools (we find these utilities in the general list).

For check local disk for errors, do the following: Start menu - Computer - click right click mouse on the required disk - in the menu that appears, select "Properties" - Tools - Run a check. By the way, here you can also use the defragmentation of this disk.

CCleaner program to optimize and clean the system

Before downloading this software, you need to determine the bit depth of the operating system:

Start menu - Computer - right-click on the white field of the screen - Properties.

Now you need to find a program of any version, but in accordance with the bitness of Windows 7.

After downloading the product, install it by default on system disk C by selecting the desired language in the menu item. To save traffic, especially when using wireless connection to the Internet, it is recommended to uncheck the following items before installation:

  • Automatically check for CCleaner updates;
  • cookie scanning.

Considering that at Windows optimizations the network is not involved and all maintenance processes take place exclusively within the OS itself, it is not even far a new version program will have its effect on solving the problem, since all the necessary functionality of the utility is already included in the general version package.

So, the program is installed, after that you should immediately restart the computer in manual mode through the Start menu, even if the installation manager did not prompt the user about it. Speaking of rebooting, you need to constantly use it after installing any of the programs. To ensure the normal operation of the OS, users should take this as a rule.

Opening the shortcut on the desktop, we find a fairly simple interface with 4 buttons on the left side of the screen. Moreover, not only the version of the program is indicated at the top, but also general information by operating system and basic computer settings.

Now you need to click on the "Settings" button on the left, select "Tracking" and uncheck all items.

Here, going up the list, open the “Settings” column and turn off automatic update CCleaner.

Next, click the "Service" button and go to the "Startup" section. In this window, you can freely disable and delete those processes that are automatically connected every time the system starts. Naturally, each of them selects a part of resources, a certain amount of memory. Here you can disable them using the corresponding buttons opposite: Enable; Switch off; Delete. This also applies to browser settings (connecting extensions and their updates, as well as updates to the browser itself, if it was not previously disabled through the control panel).

The necessary program settings have been made, and now, in fact, only two functions are needed to work with the utility:

  • cleaning;

By selecting the "Cleanup" mode, we find next to a list of files that will be scanned and, if necessary, deleted automatically. It should be recommended not to remove the existing checkboxes and not to add new ones, the program has already selected the necessary categories by default.

We find the button "Analysis" below and click it. As soon as the analysis is completed and information about the deleted files appears, click on the "Clean" button and confirm the action with the "Ok" button. After cleaning the files, a report will appear on the screen.

Go to the "Registry" function. There is also a list of events and services that the utility is ready to optimize. Then click on the "Search for problems" button and wait for the process to complete.

If in the end no problems are found, then you can close the program, optimization with the CCleaner utility is completed.

If a list of problems appears on the screen, click on the "Fix" button. Next - "Fix marked", we are waiting for the completion of the registry cleaning and also exit the program.

Description of Auslogics utility BoostSpeed ​​to optimize your computer

In one of the tutorials on the topic "", the Auslogics BoostSpeed ​​program was briefly described. Now let's look at this product in general terms in more detail.

After successfully installing the software on the PC, open the program. At the top of the screen there are standard general control buttons:

  • File;
  • Settings;
  • Reference.

Below, as in the CCleaner example, is Windows version and general PC settings. Here are 4 main sections with which you will have to work:

  • System check;
  • Advisor;
  • Resources;
  • Instruments.

It makes no sense to describe in detail each sub-item in the program, in this case, so we will only touch on the necessary ones, specifically for optimizing the OS.

So, first of all, we open the first section - “System Check” and in the left column we find information on the files and programs submitted for scanning. Click the "Check" button and wait for the process to complete.

Having received a report on the problems found, we fix them by clicking "Fix marked". Upon completion of the correction of problems, information will also appear on the screen in the form of a report.

Go to the "Advisor" section. It should be noted that this section in the future, it is unlikely that you will have to visit often, since the Expert Advisor is a one-time shutdown or configuration of some system services.

If the check has already been carried out earlier, then we will see the notification “In this moment No problems were found on your system."

If, when scanning the Expert Advisor, a list of certain services appears, then you need to sequentially disable each of the presented ones by pressing the appropriate buttons under each of them. In this way, we will significantly speed up the boot of the system and increase the speed of any operation on this PC as a whole.

The next section "Resources" is extremely informative, where the work of the system and its main blocks in real time is presented in the form of graphs.

Open the "Tools" section. Here are 9 functions, of which only a few are the most necessary for the stable operation of the system:

  • Disk maintenance;
  • Registry maintenance;
  • System settings;
  • Internet acceleration.

Under each function are interactive buttons highlighted in blue. In general, the program interface is also quite simple and convenient. For example, in the first paragraph “Disk Maintenance”, you need to go through three stages in sequence:

  • cleaning;
  • defragmentation;
  • Search for errors.

We go into each of them and follow the instructions, and if at the end of any stage the utility prompts you to reboot the system, then you should immediately execute it. Then re-enter the program and continue optimization from where you left off.

Registry maintenance:

  • cleaning;
  • defragmentation.

System settings:

  • Parameters;
  • Service optimization.

In this function, in the parameters, you can turn off all kinds of graphic visualization effects, optimizing the PC system with parameters below the standard ones (for example, built-in video card (VGA), insufficient processor frequency, etc.)

In the "Optimization of services" you can improve the performance of the system by disabling some services, a list of which will be displayed immediately after selecting the appropriate PC profile.

And the last optimization function is "Internet Acceleration". After automatic check, the operation of the system will also be adjusted according to the criteria for setting up work on the Internet. You should not resort to manual optimization of Internet acceleration; in the “Internet Acceleration” section, the result of automatic tuning is quite effective.

Many programs start automatically when you turn on your computer, which can take longer to boot the system. In addition, these programs take up extra RAM and, moreover, you do not always need them.

To edit the list of startup programs, you must click the "Start" button and type msconfig in the search bar. In the "Startup" tab, checkboxes indicate programs that start when the computer is turned on. It remains to uncheck unnecessary programs.

Be careful not to disable autoloading of utilities and antivirus products.

3. Disable autoloading of unnecessary fonts


When you turn on your computer, Windows loads a set of over 200 different fonts. You can disable unnecessary ones like this: "Start" - Control Panel - Appearance and Personalization - Fonts. Open the context menu with the right key and on an unnecessary font and select "Hide".

Only Comic Sans , only hardcore!

4. Deleting temporary files


In the process of working on the hard disk, many temporary files are created daily, which somehow imperceptibly become permanent. They also greatly reduce the overall speed of the computer.

Cleaning your computer regularly will speed up the loading of the operating system and programs, as well as free up space on your hard drive.

To do this, just open My computer - the partition with the operating system (usually Drive C:\) - Windows folder - Temp folder, and then delete all files and empty the Recycle Bin.

5. Disk Cleanup


To optimize Windows, Microsoft developers have provided a built-in disk cleanup utility. It searches for and removes "junk" files, such as temporary Internet files, distributions installed programs, various error reports and others.

Go to the Start menu - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Disk Cleanup.

6. Disk Defragmenter


Removing unnecessary programs and files, defragment the disk, i.e. rearranging files on your hard drive for maximum PC optimization.

Defragmentation can be done Windows tools, or you can use special programs - this is a topic for a separate article.

The standard procedure will look like this - in Explorer, select the partition to defragment (for example, drive D:\) and right-click on it, open Properties in the menu that appears and click "Defragment" in the Tools tab.

7. Install SSD


Speed ​​up the loading of the operating system and programs will help solid state drive, the self-installation of which in a laptop we considered in. If there is not enough money for a 500 GB SSD, it makes sense to purchase a disk at least for installing the operating system - it will just fly on a new SSD.

8. Install HDD


There are many video guides on YouTube HDD installation. Here is one of them

If the budget does not allow you to spend money on expensive SSD drives, you should not give up on more traditional components. Installing an additional HDD will significantly improve PC performance.

So if HDD occupied by more than 85%, the computer will work many times slower. In addition, it is even easier to install an additional hard drive on a stationary PC on your own than an SSD.

9. Installing additional RAM


RAM is used for processing running programs. The more information you need to process, the more RAM you need.

If there is not enough memory, the system begins to use hard disk resources, which leads to a critical slowdown of the computer and Windows freezes.

Adding or replacing RAM sticks is easy. For an ordinary computer with a set of standard office programs 4 GB of RAM will suffice, and for a gaming PC you can think of 16 GB and above.

10. Cleaning


Dust is computer enemy number 2 (everyone knows that enemy number 1 is). It interferes with normal ventilation, as a result of which PC components can overheat, slowing down the system. Extreme overheating of components can lead to their complete failure.

Turn off your computer at least half an hour before cleaning. Do not clean in synthetic clothing - as a result of friction, a static charge can be generated that can damage components. To remove static, touch the unpainted part of the central heating battery.

Turn on the vacuum cleaner at low power and gently remove dust from all parts of the PC. Particular attention should be paid to the power supply, processor cooler and video card, where most of the dust accumulates.

Every year more and more new games are released with cool graphics, super effects and thousands of fans. But not everyone can upgrade the computer every time for the sake of a new toy. But you really want the long-awaited game novelty not to slow down, so that you can play at maximum settings with fancy and colorful effects, completely immersing yourself in the gameplay with incredible graphics.

In the case described above, the so-called programs for gamers can help - software for overclocking a computer, namely video cards, processors, and in general for optimizing the system. These utilities find a rational approach to partitioning the resources of the computer, and some even allow you to emulate a more powerful video card, so you can run some games that did not want to work before.

In addition, gamers and everyone else can use programs that provide information about computer resources. With the help of them, you can find out almost all the information about the installed components: model motherboard, RAM modules, processor and many other hardware parameters, including software ones.

Typically, overclocking programs increase computer performance by increasing clock frequency central and GPU and increase the supply voltage. This should be treated with caution, because with an increase in the capacity of a stationary machine or laptop, the temperature of many elements rises. Therefore, the main thing here is not to overdo it and be sure that your power supply or cooling system will cope with the load, because it is possible to fix a laptop or computer, but it takes your time and money.

You can do without using programs to overclock your computer by changing the settings in the BIOS of the motherboard and video card. But if you have never encountered this, then it is better to neglect this method. Due to the complexity this method we will not dwell on it, but will go directly to the description of programs for gamers and overclocking a computer.

In addition to the main function of overclocking computer components, optimizer programs may contain various tools to improve the performance of the operating system by freeing up memory, defragmenting hard drives, disabling unnecessary during the game, smoothing Windows fonts, all kinds of widgets, etc. Thanks to this optimization, all computer resources will be directed to the operation and performance of the necessary application, in our case, the game.

Razer Game Booster

Razer Game Booster is a powerful free program for optimizing your operating system and speeding up your computer. The increase in game performance is achieved through temporary optimization of the OS, namely, defragmentation of RAM, closing background processes that are unnecessary during the game, DirectX diagnostics and other processes.

This program for overclocking a computer does not climb into the registry, does not speed up the hardware and does not change Windows settings. "What does she do then?" - you ask. When you are about to play the long-awaited game, you must first launch Game Booster and the utility will clear the system of unnecessary slowing baggage with a flick of the wrist. At the end of the program, everything will return to its place.

The program interface is quite simple and clear. For the lazy, Razer Game Booster has a great button that will auto-optimize and won't force you to choose optimization settings yourself. With just one click, your computer will be completely ready for the game, and if you wish, you can configure everything yourself.

If you need to overclock your computer, then you should download Razer Game Booster.

game fire

Modern games are quite demanding system resources, and if a significant consumption of resources for the operating system is added to this, then the game can only work at low settings, or even not work at all. The Game Fire program will help partially solve this problem.

By disabling running Windows services and visual effects that are unnecessary for the game, it optimizes the system for games. Thanks to this optimization program, the system will not devour precious resources and all of them will be directed only to the game. The utility is easy to learn, contains automatic shutdown default. You can also manually specify which process you would like to disable.

You can download Game Fire for free.

RivaTuner

RivaTuner is perhaps one of the most popular utilities for overclocking and testing the performance of video cards from NVIDIA and AMD. It allows you to overclock the video card directly through the hardware or through the driver and fine-tune its operation.

Of all the available functions, the following can be distinguished:

  • work with Direct3D and OpenGL parameters of the video card driver,
  • setting video modes and screen refresh rate,
  • adjusting brightness, contrast and gamma,
  • control fan settings on the video card,
  • setting the core frequency, memory and shader unit,
  • providing a report on the characteristics of the video card, drivers, etc.,
  • monitoring temperature, voltage of the video card and cooling system.

The program has the ability to create profiles for launching each application, there is a built-in driver settings database and a tool for editing the Windows registry.

The RivaTuner utility, first of all, will be useful for owners of GeForce video cards, while owners of ATI video cards are forced to use a program with limited functions.

You can download RivaTuner absolutely free of charge and customize your video card to your heart's content.

EVGA Precision X

EVGA Precision X is very handy program for overclocking NVIDIA-based video cards. Unlike RivaTuner, this program is not overloaded different settings and can be used as its simplified alternative.

Despite its light weight and simplicity, it can still become powerful tool for overclocking video cards. Among the functions of the utility for optimizing the operation of the video card, the following can be noted:

  • memory, core and shader frequency control,
  • fan control in automatic and manual mode,
  • creation of profiles up to 10 pieces with assignment of hot keys for each,
  • viewing the temperature in the tray, creating screenshots of the game and much more.

EVGA Precision X is a free overclocking tool for your graphics card.

The EVGA Precision X download is available for Windows computers only.

3D Analysis

3D-Analyze - not updated for a long time, but very useful program, which is designed to run new games and applications on older video cards.

The program is able to emulate the settings and parameters of new video cards (for example, support for pixel shaders), or completely “pretends” specific model video cards. The utility does not require installation.

For performance new game you need to run the 3D-Analyze program, select executable file games (usually with an exe or bat extension) and try to set desired settings in the program window.

Subsequently, the set settings will not have to be set again, since the program changes the original game file.

By the way, if you are not satisfied with any specific settings, you can again use this program to set the optimal characteristics.

power strip

PowerStrip is one of the most popular programs, allowing you to work with video mode and video cards. The program supports almost any video card and can significantly increase their performance.

With it, you can switch the screen resolution, change color palette, contrast, brightness, flicker frequency, etc. In addition, you can assign individual settings to different programs and assign hotkeys to change various parameters.

Download PowerStrip - a program for optimizing work with video cards.

We draw your attention again wrong job overclocking a computer and, in particular, video cards can lead to a sad outcome. Therefore, try to do without excessive overload of computer components.

The most recent version of Windows 10 was liked by users largely due to its stability.

On the one hand, not all users appreciated the changes in the interface, but it is easy to get used to the new features.

On the other hand, even a wide range of new functionality did not save the owner from the need to monitor the correct operation of all functions.

Over time, when the user installs a large number of applications, the system starts to work more slowly.

To minimize hang-ups, it is necessary to use special programs for optimizationWindows 10.

About ten best apps we will describe this type in the presented article.

Rating

Our top includes the programs shown in the table below.

Rating number The name of the program
1 computer accelerator
2 Advanced SystemCare+Ultimate
3 Carambis Cleaner
4 Reg Organizer
5 CCleaner
6 AVG TuneUp (Performance Optimizer version)
7 Wise Care 365
8 Glary Utilities
9 Auslogics BoostSpeed
10 Kerish Doctor 2018
10+ WPS Performance Station

Now let's take a closer look at each of the software products.

computer accelerator

In the "Cleaning" tab, you can get rid of trash from the trash and temporary files, as well as delete unnecessary information from browsers in just three clicks.

In the "Registry" section, you can analyze information about missing DLLs, invalid extensions, application paths, installer errors, etc. You can fix all problems immediately after viewing the report.

Additional features are presented in the "Tools" section: search for duplicates and large files, complete removal programs, system restore and others. Also in the "Computer Accelerator" you can configure the "Scheduler" so that the program independently monitors the state of the PC.

Advanced SystemCare+Ultimate

Advanced SystemCare + Ultimate is a collection of specialized utilities for optimizing the tenth version of Windows.

Here are tools designed for both ordinary users and professionals.

FROM complete list tools can be found in the screenshot below.

Some options become available when you purchase a pro version, so the presented program can be classified as shareware.

On the other hand, basic set there are enough functions to monitor the state of the operating system and adjust its work to improve performance.

If the user does not want to spend a lot of time on customization just use the Turbo mode.

In this case, the program will independently turn off software that is not currently in use, reduce its priority to reduce the load on RAM.

  • attractiveness of the interface;
  • powerful set of tools;
  • increased productivity due to the activation of the "Turbo" mode.
  • low level of protection against phishing;
  • lack of test results by independent experts.

Carambis Cleaner

The Carambis Cleaner program is designed to scan the system for files left after the removal of applications.

It is also capable of removing the cache and other "garbage". Already during the first launch, an automatic check takes place, after which a list of all files suitable for deletion is displayed.

Compared to other applications of this type, Carambis Cleaner does not remove media files, but this option is present.

You can use it if software finds duplicates.

Moreover, they are deleted at the discretion of the user, and not automatically.

A distinctive feature of Carambis Cleaner is the minimum amount internal memory to install all components.

It also includes a large number of additional functionalities.

For example, the ability to change the startup list, clean up the registry, and so on.

The Carambis Cleaner program is shareware. At the end of the trial period, you must purchase a license.

But even after the expiration of the stated period, most options remain available.

  • effective work on Win10;
  • high speed computer scan;
  • the ability to scan on an individual schedule;
  • the presence of a Russian-language interface;
  • regular release of new versions.

Reg Organizer

The Reg Organizer program was one of the first to appear on the world market. It features a simple design that allows you to quickly find the functions you need.

The advantage of the application is the presence of advanced registry management technology. The user will be able to restore it, create duplicates, and so on.

You should also use Reg Organizer when the speed of the Internet does not allow you to quickly open pages.

The software is shareware, but version 8.0.4 and higher does not have any restrictions on functionality.

To access the full package of functions, you must use a special license key. You can find it from the download link.

The menu is conveniently divided into three categories - for all users, advanced PC owners and a set of additional tools.

As a result, the likelihood of harm to the operating system is minimized.

But before you start using the application, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the video instruction below.

  • no restrictions on functionality in new versions;
  • several categories of options, taking into account the level of knowledge of the user;
  • a wide range of additional tools;
  • advanced registry management system.
  • too simple, boring interface;
  • possible desktop problems after scanning.

CCleaner

CCleaner has become one of the most popular among Windows 10 owners for a reason.

The reason is the ability to broadly customize applications before cleaning.

So, for example, when checking browsers, you can clear the cache without affecting the browsing history, last download locations, and so on.

The interface provides a set of basic and additional features- for example, changing the list of startup programs, working with duplicates, restoring the system, and so on.

Advanced users will be able to select files and folders that the program should not touch.

This functionality is useful for those who use a corporate computer in the office, where it is important to keep the entire history of the actions taken.

The CCleaner program provides a wide range of settings for its own work.

The only drawback is the insufficiently high quality of the analysis of the system. Some users complain about the need to re-scan and clean junk files.

But this minus is insignificant, since even on weak machines, re-checking and deleting will take no more than 10 seconds.

  • several editions for clients with different target requests;
  • regular updates;
  • free version with minimal restrictions.
  • lack of a built-in directory;
  • administrator rights are required from the user, otherwise the program will not work fully.

AVG Tune Up

The AVG TuneUp utility suite appeared a few years ago. The program differs from the rest in the thoroughness of checking the entire system.

IN latest versions The interface has been improved, making it much more convenient to use the program.

The user has three options personal computer- standard, high performance and "Turbo".

The latter mode helps to optimize computers with a small margin of performance, as well as PCs with big amount files stored on the hard drive.

After the test, you can see by what percentage the performance has improved.

The disadvantage of the presented application is a large amount of memory and resources used for full-fledged work.

Therefore, you should use AVG TuneUp if you have a sufficiently large amount of free space on your hard disk, and the operation of the program does not affect the functionality of other applications.

  • beautiful and user-friendly interface;
  • several modes of PC operation;
  • detailed diagnostic and cleaning results.
  • short term of the trial license;
  • high demands on PC performance.

Wise Care 365

The interface of the Wise Care 365 application is a cross between CCleaner and earlier versions of AVG TuneUp.

The program helps to quickly scan the system for errors. It takes no more than 1-2 minutes to completely eliminate them if the hard disk is 60-80 percent full.

If it is not possible to independently engage in diagnostics, in the settings you can select the mode automatic search and removal of system errors.

IN background The program consumes a minimum amount of memory.

To improve performance, a set of integrated utilities is provided, already available in the basic version. Wise Care 365 comes in shareware mode.

After the license expires, you must use the license access code.

The downside of Wise Care 365 is the obsolete interface, but for some PC owners this is even a plus, since you don’t have to spend a lot of time exploring the possibilities.

  • free working version;
  • the presence of a scheduler;
  • user-friendly interface;
  • optimization of a personal computer with one click.
  • a lot of ads in the version where the trial period has expired;
  • obsolete interface.

Glary Utilities

The Glary Utilities program is popular overseas. Among Russian-speaking users, it is only gaining momentum.

The interface provides a large number of functionalities. A distinctive feature lies in the possibility of safe work with files.
