Best of all, these abilities really do make a difference. In tests by both Iolo and third parties, startups, downloads, and general CPU activity all saw reliable speed increases. However — and this is true for many tune-up utilities — you may need to spend some time studying what the app offers and what information the scans turn up. There is also some overlap in the way how features have been organized in this software. For example, the driver updater is listed under two sections .
Since we already were on the topic of simplicity and ease of use, let’s look into those things in more detail. The only thing slightly annoying about it is the number of windows it can open when you launch utilities separately, because every utility inside it is opened in a separate window. So you may want to close the utilities after their job is done, or else you’ll soon see a stack of windows occupying your computer’s screen and your attention.
MiTeC System Information X is a free system information software program that’s licensed for both private and commercial use. The tool is portable, easy to use, and can create a summary report. For example, you can see information on all the hardware, like the motherboard, memory, and printers. In addition, Free PC Audit displays the Windows product key and ID, a list of installed software, and all the currently running processes, among many other things. Free PC Audit includes all the features you’d expect to find in any system information utility, including the ability for a report to be saved as a simple text file.
Like most programs that make changes to the operation system, the end user is required to be the administrator. Many novice computer users are unaware the effect of a shortage on hard disk space, except for not having a place to install their last purchase from their local computer retailer or download. What may look like a non needed file to the non techie, could be a critical file in Windows, and to delete it would cause a grown person to tears when messages like non system disk or unable to start Windows. The Gain disk space tab makes it easy and safe for the end user to reclaim storage.
Belarc Advisor isn’t as detailed as some of these other free system information tools. However, basic information on the operating system, processor, motherboard, memory, drives, bus adapters, display, group policies, and users audicty are shown. Our favorite feature is the ability to send system specs from Speccy to a public web page to easily share with others. Exporting to a file, as well as printing, are additional options, making saving a list of all your hardware details really easy. We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world’s leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected. This software also offers Backup/Encryption methods to keep your important files safe and secure.
This feature defragments and optimizes files and data locates across your hard drive. On the downside, Norton Utilities doesn’t offer a demo version to try before you buy, but on a brighter note it isn’t a subscription-based product, so you don’t have re-up on an annual basis. Adding to this, it can be used on three PC’s at the same time, and measurably enhances a PC’s performance. But that’s not all – the real-time system monitoring function of Norton Utilities keeps an eye on files to help clean your system more effectively. And in case you accidentally delete files, the software restores them to homecourt in just a couple clicks.
And of course, the general system optimization features like startup manager, driver updater, registry cleaner and registry optimizer. Hard drive optimization features like disk defragment and drive benchmark. The free version does clean up the system and speed things a bit but the jaw dropping boost comes from the paid version. But this software beats at least the freeware versions of anything else I have tried. The only con is that it may turn off a printer service if a printer is not connected and maybe indexing both of which you may have to activate or reboot to access. After hamstringing my Windows 7 system with a variety of optimizers most of which clogged the system, I ran a pro version of Pegasun. My system responded so quickly that I wrote the author to tell him he had destroyed my reputation with myself.
