No matter how powerful the computer may be, sooner or later its performance is reduced and not at all due to the fact that the components are outdated, but due to the fact that a lot of unnecessary and unnecessary files accumulate in the operating system, which the user often does not know about. You can restore your former performance by cleaning the computer with a special program, which is now very much. Below we have selected the 5 most popular and reliable "cleaners" that are 100% complete with their tasks and can be safely recommended for use.
When is cleaning necessary?
Before we get to the point, a small digression. Surely many may have a very logical question: when should I clean my Windows 7, 8 or 10 computer from all garbage? There are 3 signs that you can focus on.
The first is a long loading of the operating system. The more different unnecessary garbage in the computer, faulty registry keys, startup programs, the longer the operating system will run.
The second sign is performance degradation. If everything is in order in the computer, then it works smartly, quickly opens programs and performs the operations assigned to it. However, if the system is full of all kinds of trash, then all these usual manipulations will take several times more time and computer resources.
The third and last sign is the appearance of various kinds of errors. If one day the computer starts to shut down programs spontaneously, issue all kinds of errors and “sprinkle” blue “death” screens, it means that something in it is working incorrectly. Very often in such situations, it is cleaning the computer from unnecessary files, broken registry keys, outdated data, and so on.
Well, now, you can go directly to today's programs.
Ccleaner
So, the first program to clean your computer from debris on today's list is CCleaner. Among many users and experts, it is believed that this software is perhaps considered one of the best today due to its clear and accurate scanning algorithms. The free version of the program can be downloaded from the official website of the developer. In addition to it, there are several paid licenses that have additional features.
In fairness, it is worth saying that the free version is enough with the head, especially for home use.
Program features
CCleaner interface is quite simple and convenient. All functions are divided into separate tabs. For cleaning the computer, only the first two are of interest - “Cleaning” and “Registry”.
It is in the first one that a full scan of the entire operating system is performed, during which the program detects all outdated, unnecessary, corrupted and residual files that slow down the computer.
In order to start scanning, you need to click on the “Analysis” button and wait for the operation to complete. Before you start, you can set or remove all the necessary checkmarks in front of the items in the list.
After the scan is completed, it remains only to click on the "Clean" button to get rid of all excess garbage.
The second item "Registry" allows you to scan the registry of the operating system for unnecessary, broken or faulty entries. The program will analyze and offer to fix all detected errors.
Also extremely useful is the "Startup" item in the "Service" section. It displays all the programs that simultaneously start when the OS starts, thereby slowing down the work.
Reviews
The CCleaner computer cleaning tool reviews are mostly positive. The program actually has no shortcomings, except, according to users, a bit of limited functionality in the free version, but, again, this is not critical.
Advanced systemcare
The next program to clean your computer from debris is Advanced SystemCare. This product is a direct competitor to CCleaner and - in combination - also one of the best PC cleaning programs in the world. Advanced SystemCare has a bit more advanced functionality than the previous program, and this is very important for the free version.
In addition to the Freeware license, there are paid versions of Advanced SystemCare, which add many additional features and capabilities. Of course, this is all good, but for such a pleasure you will need to pay 1200 rubles every year.
Description
It’s worth starting with the program interface - it is simple and straightforward. At the top are tabs with different cleaning tools. On the side there is a menu that can be called up simply by clicking on the icon in the form of three stripes. In the middle is a large "Start" button with which the garbage search procedure starts. Points are located a little lower than it, opposite which you can either put or uncheck before scanning.
This program works correctly to clean your computer on Windows 7, 8 and 10. This must be taken into account before installing it on a PC.
So, in order to start the cleaning procedure, you need to click on the large “Start” button and wait for the scan to complete. The program will search for registry errors, corrupted and unnecessary files, temporary files, etc. All that remains to be done later is to click on the “Fix” button.
Another extremely useful item for optimizing and cleaning your computer is the Acceleration tab. There are 4 tools in it (2 need to be installed separately) that help significantly improve the performance of the entire PC as a whole. It is especially worth highlighting the item “Deep optimization”. It displays all the most problematic places in the system that can be fixed and improved.
Well, the last thing that can be useful in Advanced SystemCare is the Tools tab. Most of what is located there is available either in the paid version of the program, or in individual applications, but you should pay attention to the items “Launch Manager” and “MyWin ...”.
The first item allows you to view and turn off all unwanted programs and services that run with the operating system and slow down its operation.
The second point is a kind of manager to optimize the operating system itself. Here you can enable or disable many different options that can collect information about the user and slow down the computer.
Program reviews
Reviews about the program for cleaning your computer on Windows 7, 8 and 10 Advanced SystemCare are mostly positive, but there are some comments. The first, of course, is associated with the limited features of the free version. Second - a lot of additional features can be obtained only after installing additional programs and applications from the developer. And the last is not always an accurate analysis. It is extremely rare, but it still happens that the program does not delete all unnecessary files and you have to restart the scan.
AVG PC Tune
In third place on today's list is AVG PC Tune, a program for cleaning your computer from garbage. Many users are familiar with AVG thanks to its free antivirus, which, by the way, is among the top 5 best free antiviruses in the world.
As for PC Tune, for the developer it is a relatively new product that has already managed to gain its audience of users. The program is distributed for free, anyone can download it from the official site.
The big plus of the free version is that it offers absolutely all the functions and features of a paid license, which is also present and costs 1200 rubles a year. But unfortunately, the "freebie" is not eternal - after the trial period of 30 days, the "free" will have a lot of restrictions, for full use you will have to buy a license or look towards competitors.
Opportunities
The interface of the program AVG PC Tune is very clear and, probably, one of the most convenient. All the necessary functions are on one screen, so there is no need to switch to different tabs in search of a tool.
Cleaning the computer from garbage and unnecessary files is carried out using the first menu "Maintenance". All you need to do is click on it. The process of troubleshooting, errors and files that need to be deleted will start automatically. In addition, AVG PC Tune scans the hard drive for fragmentation preparation and analyzes the start-up and shutdown of the PC for the possibility of speeding up the process. The procedure takes some time, so you have to wait.
Once the search is completed, AVG PC Tune will display all problems and errors found, as well as unnecessary folders, files and data that can be deleted. To start the cleaning and optimization process, you need to click on the button “Correction and cleaning”. The process can be long, so be patient.
In addition to the item "Maintenance", it is worth paying attention to "Acceleration of work" and "Troubleshooting". In the first case, you can go through additional points that will help not only get rid of extraneous garbage, but also speed up the system.
In the second case, the program shows all the malfunctions and problems that need to be fixed by the user on his own.
Also, for greater performance, you can configure the "Turbo" mode by clicking on the small button in the form of a speedometer. This mode disables most of the services and functions, thereby increasing the maximum productivity and speed of the computer.
Well, of course, do not forget about the last paragraph “All tools”. There are many programs that also allow you to configure and clean the operating system in every way.
User reviews
According to user reviews, AVG PC Tune actually has no minuses, with the exception of a 30-day trial period of use. Otherwise, there are no special complaints. AVG PC Tune can safely be among the best programs for cleaning your computer.
Auslogic BootSpeed
In fourth place is the Auslogic BootSpeed program. By the set of functions and capabilities, this product can immediately be put in first place, but there are a number of reasons why this is impossible, and later it will become clear why.
The program for cleaning the computer from garbage is distributed in two licenses - paid and free. The functionality is the same both here and there, however Freeware traditionally has a number of limitations that clearly do not benefit him.
Program features
It is worth starting according to tradition from the interface. On the one hand - it is simple, everything is divided into tabs, there is nothing superfluous anywhere. On the other hand, there are too many tabs and sometimes you can just get confused.
In order to clean the system from debris in the program Auslogic BootSpeed, just go to the "Home" tab and click on the "Scan" button. Also, just before the start of scanning, it is possible to configure the scanner, if necessary. It will take some time to analyze the operating system, search for garbage and errors, but in general everything happens pretty quickly.
As soon as the scan is completed, Auslogic BootSpeed will show a complete list of all problems found that can be fixed by clicking on the appropriate button. And here there is the first minus of the free version - optimization and cleaning, only half happens, and the rest can be removed only after purchasing a license. This is very bad, because competitors of the program do not have this, and against the backdrop of this shortcoming, they look much more attractive. Anyway.
In addition to the "Home" tab, it is worth paying attention to the "PC Cleanup" and "Windows Optimization". The first one contains all the information about unnecessary files that can be deleted, it also displays registry problems and computer performance problems. Again, everything cannot be fixed due to the limitations of the free version.
On the second tab, you can run a test to optimize the system. Auslogic BootSpeed will scan the OS for various problems related to services, applications and other parameters. Unfortunately, it will be possible to correct only those points opposite which there is no lock, i.e. they are not limited by the license.
The last thing worth mentioning is a set of tools and utilities that have 1-2 trial runs for informational purposes. You can find them on the "Home" tab at the bottom.
The list is large and it contains utilities for defragmenting the disk, managing autorun, cleaning and defragmenting the registry, an additional tweaks manager, and much more.
Reviews
There are a lot of reviews about Auslogic BootSpeed on the Web. Users praise the program, note its wide functionality and capabilities, and also do not forget about its most important drawback - solid limitations in the free version.
Auslogic BootSpeed is certainly among the five best programs for cleaning your computer, but developers should pay attention not only to those who plan to buy their product, but also to ordinary users who, due to financial difficulties, are forced to use Freeware versions.
Reg organizizer
Finally, the last program to clean your computer on the list is Reg Organaizer. This software is also very popular among many users, primarily due to the fact that the developer is a Russian programmer. Reg Organizer can be safely called one of the very first programs for cleaning and optimizing operating systems, since the first version appeared already in 2001.
As for the types of licenses, then everything is more than standard - there are free versions with a limited period of 30 days, and there are paid versions for home use or enterprises. License prices are quite reasonable and start at 600 rubles.
Description
Since Reg Organaizer is a product of a Russian developer, then, accordingly, the interface of the program for cleaning a computer in Russian is. It looks simple, does not cause difficulties in use. At the first start, a quick scan is immediately carried out, so in the middle preliminary information on the problems found will be displayed. You can start cleaning immediately, but it is better to conduct a full scan manually beforehand, on the tab "System Cleaning".
Also on this tab at the top there is a switch “Maximum cleaning”, which allows for deeper scanning, but this mode is not recommended for inexperienced users.
Actually, after the scan is completed, just click on the “Clean” button to start the optimization process.
In addition to cleaning, the program has a startup section, which displays all the programs that run with the OS.
Program reviews
Reviews about the program for cleaning your computer from garbage in Russian Reg Organizer are mostly positive. There are no serious drawbacks, except perhaps for a limited period of the free version. So if you like the program, you will have to buy a license, since it is not so expensive.
