SpeedUpMyPC
2009
Once again, Uniblue has impressed me with
their software. SpeedUpMyPC 3 is a collection of utilities
that you usually find in separate programs, all conveniently located
in one application.
Once installed, SpeedUpMyPC places a small
graph icon in your System Tray that shows your computer's
performance if you hover your mouse over it:

Double-clicking on the icon brings up the
program, which has four tabs. The first tab is the Overview tab,
which shows a more detailed description of what you see in the
picture above and allows you to fully scan your computer to find out
what may be slowing it down or causing it to give errors.
Once the scan is complete, you can move to the
Optimization tab which shows separate graphs for each of the
categories shown in the picture above and also shows you all of the
programs that are running on your computer at startup and allows you
to remove any that are unnecessary.
The third tab is the Clean Up tab, which lets
you delete temporary, backup, and other junk files that are not
needed. It also has a File Shredder which will permanently
delete any file you choose. And, it has a Privacy scan which
lets you find and remove all kinds of info on your computer that you
might consider private and not want anyone else using your computer
to see (stuff like the most recently used documents, your internet
history, etc.). And, also on this tab, there's a section which
allows you to completely uninstall any program on your computer --
and this works much better than the Windows Add/Remove programs
which often leaves parts of the programs behind when uninstalling.
The fourth tab is the Settings tab where you
control which features you want to use and which drives on your
computer you want scanned.
All in all, I think this is one of the most
complete clean-up programs I have come across and I highly recommend
it. To see what it can do,
click this link and let it scan your computer right now to
see what it finds. I'm pretty sure you will be as impressed as
I am!
