A program for checking and optimizing computer operation. The best program to improve computer performance
Electronic equipment is becoming more and more complex, and today it is no longer enough to buy the most powerful hardware. It is necessary to be able to configure it correctly, which is why programs to improve computer performance are becoming increasingly popular. This rating presents some of the most useful programs that will be useful on any PC or laptop.
1st place - Computer accelerator
When considering programs to improve computer performance, one cannot help but pay attention to “Computer Accelerator”. Its functionality allows you not only to clean disks of debris and correct errors that inevitably accumulate in the registry, but also to manage startup, search for duplicate files and large files that take up too much space. And thanks to the built-in scheduler, it becomes fully automatic - you just need to configure everything once. Then the “Computer Accelerator” will work on its own, regularly performing scheduled actions to increase PC performance.
In addition, the program allows you to find out the computer configuration, which can be very useful when installing powerful applications and modern games. Also, the program has the ability to monitor the system, checking the load and temperature of the processor, free space on hard drives and RAM directly during operation. In addition to the monitoring function, monitoring also plays the role of an “advisor”, giving hints if any of the computer load parameters go beyond the optimal values.
Such wide possibilities make “Computer Accelerator” the best choice among similar software. and install it will be the ideal solution to maintain the performance of any PC at a consistently high level.
2nd place - Reimage PC Repair
This program for improving PC performance offers a very wide range of capabilities. It is capable of identifying and removing damaged and non-working system files, as well as replacing them with new, working versions. Reimage PC Repair provides accurate diagnostics of your computer using all the functions provided by the current operating system. Using this software, you can also identify duplicate files that take up space on your hard drive, and “garbage” tails remaining after installing or uninstalling various software.
Important advantages of Reimage PC Repair include a simple interface and the presence of a Russian version. However, the program is let down by the inability to automate the optimization process - everything will have to be done manually every time.
3rd place - Wise Memory Optimizer
If you have programs installed on your PC that are too heavy on your RAM, Wise Memory Optimizer will be a very useful choice in many situations. This software frees memory from unused data and reduces its volume reserved by various applications. In addition, the program automatically terminates unnecessary processes, disabling which will not affect the stability of operation.
On average, the amount of free memory after optimization using this program increases by 15-20 percent. In the settings you can enable automatic optimization, which is activated when the load on RAM is high. The undoubted advantage of Wise Memory Optimizer is that it is free. However, the functionality of the program is limited and only applies to working with RAM.
4th place - Razer Cortex
Wonderful software from a world-famous manufacturer of high-quality peripherals for gamers. The capabilities of Razer Cortex are focused on gaming use of computers - with its help you can turn off background processes during the game, diagnose your PC, optimize RAM consumption and processor load. Moreover, the program even allows you to record videos and take pictures (screenshots). Also, the Razer Cortex functionality includes defragmentation of game folders, which can improve performance when installing games on the HDD.

To prevent Windows from slowing down and to minimize the number of errors, it needs to be optimized from time to time, cleaned of junk files, and corrected incorrect entries in the registry. There are, of course, built-in utilities for these purposes in Windows, but their effectiveness leaves much to be desired.
Therefore, in this article I would like to consider the best programs for optimizing and cleaning Windows 7 (8, 10*). By regularly running these utilities and optimizing Windows, your computer will run faster.
1) Auslogics BoostSpeed
The main window of the program.
One of the best programs for optimizing Windows. Moreover, what is immediately captivating about it is its simplicity; even when you first launch the program, it will immediately prompt you to scan the Windows OS and correct errors in the system. In addition, the program is completely translated into Russian.
BoostSpeed scans the system in several directions at once:
Registry errors (over time, a large number of incorrect entries may accumulate in the registry. For example, you installed a program, then uninstalled it, but the entries in the registry remained. When a large number of such entries accumulate, Windows will begin to slow down);
To useless files (various temporary files that are used by programs during installation and configuration);
To incorrect labels;
For fragmented files (article about).
Also included in the BootSpeed complex are several more interesting utilities: for cleaning the registry, freeing up space on your hard drive, setting up the Internet, monitoring software, etc.
2) TuneUp Utilities
This is not even just a program, but a whole range of utilities and programs for PC maintenance: optimizing Windows, cleaning it, troubleshooting problems and errors, setting up various functions. Still, the program scores high in various tests for a reason.
What TuneUp Utilities can do:
- clean disks of various “garbage”: temporary files, program caches, incorrect shortcuts, etc.;
- optimize the system registry from erroneous and incorrect entries;
- will help you configure and manage Windows startup (and startup greatly affects the speed of Windows startup and loading);
- delete confidential and personal files so that not a single program or “hacker” can restore them;
- change the appearance of Windows beyond recognition;
- optimize RAM and much more...
In general, for those who are not satisfied with BootSpeed in some way, TuneUp Utilities is recommended as an analogue and a good alternative. In any case, at least one program of this kind must be launched regularly when actively working in Windows.
Cleaning the registry in CCleaner.
A very small utility with great capabilities! While running, CCleaner finds and deletes most temporary files on your computer. Temporary files include: Cookies, website history, files in the recycle bin, etc. You can also optimize and clean the system registry of old DLLs and non-existent paths (remaining after installing and uninstalling various applications).
By regularly running CCleaner you will not only free up space on your hard drive, but also make working on your PC more comfortable and faster. Despite the fact that in some tests the program loses to the first two, it enjoys the trust of thousands of users around the world.
4) Reg Organizer
One of the best registry maintenance programs. Despite the fact that many Windows optimization packages have built-in registry cleaners, they cannot compare with this program...
Reg Organizer works in all popular Windows today: XP, Vista, 7, 8. It allows you to remove all incorrect information from the registry, remove the “tails” of programs that have not been on the PC for a long time, compress the registry, thereby increasing the speed of work.
5)Advanced SystemCare Pro
A very, very good program for optimizing and cleaning Windows. By the way, it works in all popular versions: Windows Xp, 7, 8, Vista (32/64 bits). The program has a pretty good arsenal:
Detecting and removing spyware from your computer;
- “repair” of the registry: cleaning, error correction, etc., compression.
Clearing confidential information;
Removing junk and temporary files;
Automatic setting of settings for maximum Internet connection speed;
Correction of shortcuts, removal of non-existent ones;
Disk and system registry defragmentation;
Set automatic settings to optimize Windows and much more.
6) Revo Uninstaller
This relatively small utility will help you remove all unwanted programs from your computer. Moreover, it can do this in several ways: first, try to remove it automatically through the installer of the program itself; if that doesn’t work, there is a built-in forced mode in which Revo Uninstaller will automatically remove all the “tails” of the program from the system.
Peculiarities:
- Easy and correct uninstallation of applications (without “tails”);
- Ability to view all applications that are installed in Windows;
- New “Hunter” mode - will help you uninstall all, even secretive, applications;
- Support for the “Drag&Drop” method;
- View and manage Windows startup;
- Removing temporary and junk files from the system;
- Clearing history in Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and Netscape browsers;
- And much more…
Options for bundled utilities for full Windows maintenance:
1) Maximum
BootSpeed (for cleaning and optimizing Windows, speeding up PC boot, etc.), Reg Organizer (for complete optimization of the registry), Revo Uninstaller (for “correctly” uninstalling applications so that there are no “tails” left in the system and it is not constantly needed clean).
2) Optimal
TuneUp Utilities + Revo Uninstaller (optimization and acceleration of Windows + “correct” removal of programs and applications from the system).
3) Minimum
Advanced SystemCare Pro or BootSpeed or TuneUp Utilities (for cleaning and optimizing Windows from time to time, when unstable operation occurs, brakes, etc.).
That's all for today. Good and fast Windows to everyone...
The latest version, 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’s easy to get used to the new features.
On the other hand, even a wide list of new functionality did not relieve the owner of the need to monitor the proper operation of all functions.
Over time, when the user installs a large number of applications, the system begins to slow down.
To minimize stuttering, it is necessary to use special optimization programsWindows 10.
We will talk about the ten best applications of this type in this article.
Rating
Our top includes the programs listed in the table below.
| Number in the rating | The name of the program |
|---|---|
| 1 | Advanced SystemCare + Ultimate |
| 2 | Carambis Cleaner |
| 3 | Reg Organizer |
| 4 | CCleaner |
| 5 | AVG TuneUp (Performance Optimizer version) |
| 6 | Wise Care 365 |
| 7 | Glary Utilities |
| 8 | Auslogics BoostSpeed |
| 9 | Kerish Doctor 2018 |
| 10 | WPS Performance Station |
Now let's take a closer look at each of the software products.
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.
The full list of tools can be found in the screenshot below.
Some options become available when purchasing the pro version, so the presented program can be classified as shareware.
On the other hand, the basic set of functions is quite enough to monitor the state of the operating system and adjust its operation to improve performance.
If the user does not want to spend a lot of time on individual settings, it is enough to use the “Turbo” mode.
In this case, the program will automatically turn off software that is not currently in use and reduce its priority to reduce the load on RAM.
- attractiveness of the interface;
- powerful set of tools;
- increased performance by activating the "Turbo" mode.
- low level of protection against phishing;
- lack of testing results by independent experts.
Carambis Cleaner
Carambis Cleaner is designed to scan your system for files left behind after uninstalling applications.
It is also capable of removing cache and other junk. Already during the first launch, an automatic check occurs, upon completion of which a list of all files suitable for deletion is shown.
Compared to other applications of this type, Carambis Cleaner does not delete multimedia files, but this option is present.
You can use it if the software detects duplicates.
Moreover, they are deleted by the user’s decision, and not automatically.
A distinctive feature of Carambis Cleaner is the minimum amount of internal memory for installing all components.
It also includes a large number of additional functionality.
For example, the ability to change the startup list, clean 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 stated period, most options remain available.
- efficient work on Win10;
- high speed computer scan;
- possibility of scanning according to an individual schedule;
- availability of Russian-language interface;
- Regular release of new versions.
Negative:
- The duration of the trial license is only 30 days.
Reg Organizer
The Reg Organizer program was one of the first to appear on the world market. It is distinguished by its simplicity of design, which 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.
Reg Organizer should also be used when the Internet speed does not allow you to quickly open pages.
The software is shareware, but version 8.0.4 and higher has no restrictions on functionality.
To gain access to the full package of functions, you must use a special license key. You can find it using 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 causing harm to the operating system is minimized.
But before you start using the application, it is recommended that you read the video instructions below.
- no restrictions on functionality in new versions;
- several categories of options taking into account the user’s level of knowledge;
- a wide range of additional tools;
- advanced registry management system.
Negative:
- too simple, boring interface;
- Possible problems with desktop operation after scanning.
CCleaner
CCleaner has become one of the most popular programs among Windows 10 owners for a reason.
The reason is the ability to widely customize applications before cleaning.
For example, when checking browsers, you can clear the cache without affecting your browsing history, recent download locations, and so on.
The interface provides a set of basic and additional functions - for example, changing the list of startup programs, working with duplicates, system recovery, and so on.
Advanced users will be able to select files and folders that the program should not touch.
This functionality will be useful for those who use a corporate computer in the office, where it is important to save the entire history of completed actions.
The CCleaner program provides a wide range of settings for its own work.
The only drawback is the insufficiently high quality of system analysis. Some users complain about the need to rescan and clean unnecessary files.
But this minus is insignificant, since even on weak machines, repeated checking and deletion will take no more than 10 seconds.
- several publications for clients with different target requests;
- regular updates;
- free version with minimal restrictions.
Negative:
- lack of a built-in reference book;
- The user is required to have administrator rights, otherwise the program will not work fully.
AVG TuneUp
The AVG TuneUp utility package appeared several years ago. The program differs from others in the thoroughness of its testing of the entire system.
In the latest versions, the interface has been improved, making it much more convenient to use the program.
The user has three options for operating a personal computer – standard, high performance and “Turbo”.
The latter mode helps optimize computers with a small performance reserve, as well as PCs with a large number of 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 the large amount of memory and resources used for full operation.
Therefore, you should use AVG TuneUp if there is a sufficiently large amount of free space on your hard drive, and the program’s operation does not affect the functionality of other applications.
- beautiful and convenient interface;
- several PC operating modes;
- detailed diagnostic and cleaning results.
Negative:
- short validity period of the trial license;
- high demands on PC performance.
Wise Care 365
The Wise Care 365 application interface is a cross between CCleaner and AVG TuneUp of earlier versions.
The program helps you quickly scan your system for errors. It takes no more than 1-2 minutes to completely eliminate them if the hard drive is 60-80 percent full.
If it is not possible to carry out diagnostics yourself, in the settings you can select the mode of automatic search and removal of system errors.
In the background, the program consumes a minimal amount of memory.
To improve performance, a set of integrated utilities is provided, available in the basic version. Wise Care 365 comes in freeware mode.
After the license expires, you must use the license access code.
The downside of Wise Care 365 is its outdated interface, but for some PC owners this is even a plus, since they don’t have to spend a lot of time exploring the possibilities.
- free working version;
- availability of a scheduler;
- user-friendly interface;
- optimization of your personal computer with one click.
- a lot of advertising in the version where the trial period has expired;
- outdated interface.
Glary Utilities
The Glary Utilities program is popular abroad. It is only gaining momentum among Russian-speaking users.
The interface provides a large number of functionality. A distinctive feature is the ability to safely work with files.
You can encrypt them at any time by creating a unique access code.
Another advantage is the ability to check drivers for updates.
The interface is moderately complex, as the modules section contains dozens of integrated utilities.
Glary Utilities may not be suitable for users whose computers have minimal internal memory.
When working with the operating system, a copy of the changed files is created, so if necessary, you can always roll back to the previous version.
- huge set of functions;
- thorough disposal of waste;
- availability of a multilingual user interface;
- active appearance of updates;
- efficiency of cleaning.
Negative:
- possible conflicts with antivirus software.
Auslogics BoostSpeed
The first versions of Auslogics BoostSpeed began to actively appear on the domestic software market in 2012.
Over the course of several years of active improvement, the developers have added a wide range of new functionality.
Now users are given the opportunity to update drivers automatically and semi-automatically, improve their Internet connection, change startup settings and much more.
The basic package includes a defragmenter. With its help, the hard drive begins to work more efficiently.
Auslogics BoostSpeed provides a set of utilities designed specifically to optimize the 10th version of the Windows operating system.
Some of them are intended for use by advanced PC owners only. Therefore, it will not be superfluous to read the instructions.
The large number of options, on the other hand, is a disadvantage for those who have not previously used such advanced programs like Auslogics BoostSpeed.
Also, for full functionality under peak load, more than 100 MB of free space in RAM is required, which is quite a large amount among most applications of this type.
- high level of efficiency;
- presence of a built-in store for adding new tools;
- direct communication with technical support representatives;
- displaying information about the current load on the system;
- reduction of processor and OP load.
Negative:
- Restore points require a large supply of free memory;
- The trial version lasts only 15 days.
Kerish Doctor 2018
Kerish Doctor 2018 is one of the newest Windows 10 optimization programs.
It is also suitable for those users whose computers have an older version of the operating system installed.
Advanced users will be able to use Kerish Doctor 2018 Recover hard drives at a surface level.
Compared to other competing programs, here you can get rid of “toolbars” in browsers, saving them from loading unnecessary advertising.
The interface is very clear, but the program still suffers from a large number of minor flaws.
On the other hand, the problem is solved by the constant appearance of new versions with current updates, which are downloaded either automatically or semi-automatically (with user confirmation).
- game mode supported;
- functioning in real time;
- minimum requirements for personal computer parameters;
- search for invalid hard disk partitions;
- ability to empty the trash can.
Negative:
- 15-day license validity period;
- long-term cleaning of the OS.
WPS Performance Station
The WPS Performance Station program cannot be called a full-fledged package for optimizing the operating system.
Essentially, this is a separate utility positioned as an advanced task manager.
It lacks most of the optional features provided by competitive software, but on the other hand, this is compensated by the minimum amount of internal memory required to store executive files.
WPS Performance Station only works on the newest versions of the operating system - 8 and 10.
If necessary, you can independently choose the optimal operating mode - high productivity and high savings of internal resources.
At its core, WPS Performance Station is more of a monitoring tool than a diagnostic tool.
- prompt execution of user actions;
- several PC operation profiles;
- a lot of useful information about the state of the computer;
- allocation of a minimum amount of memory for executable files.
Negative:
- simple interface;
- minimum useful functions.
Many programs start automatically when you turn on your computer, causing your system to take longer to boot. In addition, these programs take up extra RAM and are not always needed by you.
To edit the list of programs for startup, you need to click the “Start” button and type the msconfig command in the search bar. In the Startup tab, programs that start when you turn on the computer are checked. All that remains is 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 downloads a selection of over 200 different fonts. You can disable unnecessary ones like this: “Start” - Control Panel - Design and Personalization - Fonts. Open the context menu with the right key and on the unnecessary font and select “Hide”.
Comic Sans only , only hardcore!
4. Deleting temporary files
In the process of work, many temporary files are created daily on the hard drive, which somehow imperceptibly become permanent. They also greatly reduce the overall speed of your computer.
Regularly cleaning your computer will speed up the loading of the operating system and programs, and will also free up space on your hard drive.
To do this, just open My Computer - the partition with the operating system (usually Drive C:\) - the Windows folder - the 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 deletes junk files, such as temporary Internet files, distributions of installed programs, various error reports, and others.
Go to the Start menu - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Disk Cleanup.
6. Disk defragmentation
After deleting unnecessary programs and files, start defragmenting the disk, i.e. regrouping files on your hard drive for maximum PC optimization.
Defragmentation can be done using 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, in the menu that appears, open Properties and in the Tools tab, click “Defragment.”
7. Install SSD
A solid-state drive will help speed up the loading of the operating system and programs, the self-installation of which in a laptop we discussed in. If you don’t have enough money for a 500 GB SSD, it makes sense to purchase a disk at least to install the operating system - it will simply fly on the new SSD.
8. Install HDD
There are many video guides on HDD installation on YouTube. Here's one of them
If your budget does not allow you to spend money on expensive SSD drives, you should not give up more traditional components. Installing an additional HDD will significantly improve PC performance.
So, if the hard drive is more than 85% occupied, the computer will work many times slower. In addition, installing an additional hard drive on your desktop PC yourself is even easier than an SSD.
9. Installing additional RAM
RAM is used to process running programs. The more information you need to process, the more RAM you will 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 freezing of Windows.
Adding or replacing RAM sticks is not difficult. For a regular computer with a set of standard office programs, 4 GB of RAM is enough, and for a gaming PC you can think about 16 GB or higher.
10. Cleaning
Dust is computer enemy No. 2 (everyone knows that enemy No. 1 is). It prevents normal ventilation, which can cause PC components to 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 you start cleaning. Do not clean in synthetic clothing - friction may result in a static charge that can damage components. To remove static, touch the unpainted part of the central heating radiator.
Turn on the vacuum cleaner at low power and carefully 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.
Welcome to my blog.
Today on the Internet you can find dozens of programs whose authors promise that your computer will almost “take off” after using them. In most cases, it will work the same, it’s good if you are not rewarded with a dozen advertising modules (which are embedded in the browser without your knowledge).
However, many utilities will honestly clean your disk of debris and perform disk defragmentation. And it is quite possible that if you have not performed these operations for a long time, your PC will work a little faster than before.
However, there are utilities that can actually speed up your computer somewhat by setting the optimal Windows settings and configuring your PC properly for a particular application. I have tried some of the programs. I want to tell you about them. The programs were divided into three corresponding groups.
Speeding up your computer for games
By the way, before recommending utilities to improve performance in games, I would like to make a small remark. First, you need to update the drivers for your video card. Second, configure them accordingly. This will make the effect many times greater!
- setting up an AMD/Radeon video card: ;
- setting up NVidia video card: .
Game Buster
In my humble opinion, this utility is one of the best of its kind! The authors got excited about one click in the description of the program (by the time you install and register, it will take 2-3 minutes and a dozen clicks) - but it works really quickly.
Possibilities:
- Brings Windows OS settings (the utility supports versions XP, Vista, 7, 8) to optimal for running most games. Thanks to this, they begin to work somewhat faster than before.
- Defragments folders with installed games. On the one hand, this is a useless option for this program (after all, Windows even has built-in defragmentation tools), but honestly, how many of us defragment regularly? And the utility will not forget, if, of course, you install it...
- Diagnoses the system for various vulnerabilities and non-optimal parameters. It’s quite a necessary thing; you can learn a lot of interesting things about your system...
- Game Buster allows you to save videos and screenshots. Convenient, of course, but it’s better to use a program for these purposes (it has its own super fast codec).
Conclusion: Game Buster is a necessary thing and if the speed of your games leaves much to be desired, definitely try it! In any case, I personally would start optimizing the PC with it!
Game Accelerator
Game Accelerator is a pretty good program for accelerating games. However, in my opinion it has not been updated for a long time. For a more stable and smooth process, the program optimizes the Windows OS and hardware. The utility does not require specific knowledge from the user, etc. - just run it, save the settings and minimize it to tray.
Advantages and features:
- Several operating modes: hyper-acceleration, cooling, setting the game in the background;
- defragmentation of hard drives;
- “fine” tuning DirectX;
- optimization of resolution and frame rate in the game;
- laptop energy saving mode.
Conclusion: the program has not been updated for a relatively long time, but at one time, around 10 years ago, it helped make your home PC faster. In its use it is very similar to the previous utility. By the way, it is recommended to use it in conjunction with other utilities for optimizing and cleaning Windows from junk files.
Game Fire
“Fire game” translated into great and mighty.
In fact, it is a very, very interesting program that will help make your computer faster. Includes options that are simply not available in other analogues (by the way, there are two versions of the utility: paid and free)!
Advantages:
- switching your PC to turbo mode for games in one click (super!);
- optimizing Windows and its settings for optimal performance;
- defragmentation of game folders for faster access to files;
- automatic prioritization of applications for optimal game performance, etc.
Conclusion: in general, an excellent “combine” for those who like to play. I definitely recommend testing and familiarizing yourself with it. I really liked the utility!
Programs for cleaning your hard drive from junk
I think it’s no secret that over time a large number of temporary files accumulate on the hard drive (they are also called “junk”). The fact is that when the operating system (and various applications) operate, they create files that they need at a certain point in time, then they delete them, but not always. As time goes by, there are more and more such undeleted files, the system begins to “slow down”, trying to sort out a bunch of unnecessary information.
Therefore, sometimes the system needs to be cleaned of such files. This will not only save space on your hard drive, but also speed up your computer, sometimes significantly!
And so, let’s look at the top three (in my subjective opinion)…
Glary Utilities
This is simply a super-combine for cleaning and optimizing your computer! Glary Utilities allows you not only to clear your disk of temporary files, but also to clean and optimize the system registry, optimize memory, backup data, clear your website history, defragment the HDD, get system information, etc.
What’s most pleasing: the program is free, frequently updated, contains everything you need, plus it’s in Russian.
Conclusion: an excellent complex; if you regularly use it together with some utility for speeding up games (from the first point), you can achieve very good results.
Wise Disk Cleaner
This program, in my opinion, is one of the fastest for cleaning your hard drive from various and unnecessary files: cache, browsing history, temporary files, etc. Moreover, it does nothing without your knowledge - first the system scan process occurs, then it informs you by removing what, how much space can be gained, and then the unnecessary is removed from the hard drive. Very comfortably!
Advantages:
- free + with Russian language support;
- there is nothing superfluous, laconic design;
- fast and meticulous work (after this it is unlikely that another utility will be able to find anything on the HDD that can be deleted);
- Supports all versions of Windows: Vista, 7, 8, 8.1.
CCleaner
Probably one of the most popular PC cleaning utilities, not only in Russia, but also abroad. The main advantage of the program is its compactness and high degree of Windows cleaning. Its functionality is not as rich as Glary Utilites, but in terms of removing “garbage” it can easily compete with it (and perhaps even win).
Main advantages:
- free with Russian language support;
- fast work speed;
- support for popular versions of Windows (XP, 7,8) 32 and 64 bit systems.
I think even these three utilities will be more than enough for most. By choosing any of them and regularly optimizing, you can significantly increase the speed of your PC.
Well, for those for whom these utilities are not enough, I will provide a link to another article on a review of programs for cleaning disks from “garbage”:
Windows optimization and settings
In this subsection I would like to include programs that work in combination: i.e. check the system for optimal parameters (if they are not specified, set them), configure applications correctly, set the necessary priorities for various services, etc. In general, programs that will perform the entire complex of optimization and settings of the OS for more productive work.
By the way, out of all the variety of such programs, I liked only two. But they do improve PC performance, sometimes significantly!
Advanced SystemCare 7
What is immediately captivating about this program is its focus on the user, i.e. you don’t have to deal with lengthy settings, read a mountain of instructions, etc. Installed, launched, clicked analyze, then agreed with the changes that the program proposed to make - and voila, the garbage is removed, with registry errors corrected, etc. it becomes an order of magnitude faster!
Main advantages:
- there is a free version;
- speeds up the overall system and Internet access;
- fine-tunes Windows for maximum performance;
- detects spyware and “unwanted” adware modules and programs and removes them;
- defragments and optimizes the system registry;
- fixes system vulnerabilities, etc.
Conclusion: one of the best programs for cleaning and optimizing your computer. In just a few clicks you can significantly speed up your PC, eliminating a whole mountain of problems and the need to install third-party utilities. I recommend you check it out and test it!
Auslogics BoostSpeed
When I launched this program for the first time, I could not imagine that it would find a huge number of errors and problems affecting the speed and stability of the system. It is recommended for all those who are dissatisfied with the speed of their PC, also if your computer takes a long time to turn on and often freezes.
Advantages:
- deep disk cleaning of temporary and unnecessary files;
- correction of “incorrect” settings and parameters affecting the speed of the PC;
- fixing vulnerabilities that may affect the stability of Windows;
Flaws:
- The program is paid (the free version has significant limitations).
That's all. If you have anything to add, it would be very helpful. All the best to everyone!
