Hi guys, I want to buy a PC System Utilities Software. I'm listing three softwares that I know about:

1. Advanced System Optimizer
2. System Mechanic
3. TuneUp Utilities

Please suggest the best one of the above mentioned softwares or if there is something else better than these then please let me know about them.

Thank You.

Why buy when you get all the features free of cost eh.
Alright
For Degragmentation - Auslogics Disk Defrag
For Junk Files and Registry - Ccleaner
If you want a suit real badly - Glary Utilities
Use these.

W7 disk defrag is good enough.

CCleaner is useful.

Thank you all. I just downloaded CCleaner and used it for the first time. This is really a great tool and FREE too. :mrgreen:

For defragmentation which is better - Auslogics Disk Defrag or Piriform Defraggler or should I use Win 7 Disk Defragmenter only?

And I don't need a suite if there are better individual tools available. :smile:

Now, I just need a File Recovery Tool and a memory optimizer or something like that to stop unnecessary background processes and free up memory and CPU while gaming coz I can use only 3.25 GB of total 4 GB RAM of mine as I'm using 32-bit windows. With these my suite would be complete. :razz:

Well I use Auslogics Disk Defrag because t is really fast and it can also optimise your hard disk for optimal use and it has other features but I don't give a damn about them. Don't like window's defragmenter because its very slow. LOL

For recovery use recuva or PC file recovery. For memory optimization I think window's task manager should do the job. If you really want a third party software then Process explorer.

Actually W7 defragger does the job passively in the background.

I don't even run it and I have 0%,1%,0% fragmentation in my 3 partitions.

Yeah it does but it takes a hell lot of time. I don't give a damn if it does that passively because that process stops me from playing game because while this process is going on my game lags. At least Auslogics does that job faster I like it because f its speed and features. But Everyone has his own choice if you like W7 its cool you don't have to install a third party software for that.

if you really want to buy, Tuneup is the best. but there is ton of free software that will offer better performance.

1. Advanced SystemCare Free
2. Auslogics BoostSpeed Special Edition (got as giveaway from majorgeeks)
3. CleanMem
4. CCleaner Slim + CCEnhancer
5. Defraggler
6. Glary Utilities Slim
7. Eusing Free Registry Cleaner (one of the best)
8. Recuva Slim

1 CCleaner is NOT a complete system utilities software.



Go for Tune up Utilities 2011. I dont like Advanced System Care. It makes too many changes without our permission.


Use recuva for file recovery.

Recuva is by far worst software. I once tried to recover files it FAilED. I was devastated. My files are gone :(

But Recuva worked like charm for me. I recovered 30GB of data with its help, which none of the renowned s/w could (it could only recovered 30GB of 930GB of data though)

My recommendation would be,
Revo Uninstaller+Ccleaner
Tuneup Utilities

^^ i did the opposite. deleted sister's song collection & later recovered it using recuva (never told her nor she know about it :grin: )

BTW, Tuneup utilities in trial. so until OP buys it takes the illegal route, its just use & throw.

Recoving from C drive is always kinda complicated so I never store anything important in that drive. Recovering from other drives is kinda easy and fruitful.

Yes. And OP can get all the features offered but Tune Up from other sources for free but of course if won't be in one suit but still expending money for something which is available is not good.

WinXP Manger and it has a version for Win7 well -though it's not a freeware.

For freeware use Glary Utilities and Tweaknow power Pack free edition.

Windows 7 Manager 2.0.8. the one topgear was talking about. its a trial but as with all others sharewares, use & throw.

Krojam Cleaner is powerful tool. I am using it from last 1 year. You can delete all temporary files just by one click. :)
