  EXCELLENT PRODUCT!

  by: special magic on 22-Jul-2008 04:51:09 AM

  Pros: what can i say? it can do a little of this and that. it can clean up your pc, though not as thoroughly as ccleaner, it can check for false shortcuts and startup programs, it can clean out the registry and do a good job at it,it can clean up temporary files, spyware tracks and traces and even scan for spyware though i doubt it is a very in depth scanner but i could be wrong.all in all, there is no reason NOT to have this program, run it with ccleaner and your pc will thank you.

  Cons: none that i know of so far, but as i said i would use it with ccleaner rather than instead of.

  Pros: Very userfriendly interface with almost all the options you need to keep your computer clean and speedy. I must say I was impressed.

  Cons: Have not found any real negative things yet except maybe that it lacks a disk defragmenter but then again, there are other programs out there for that.

  A new challenger has arrived!

  by: thesmilkman on 24-Jul-2008 08:37:37 AM

  Pros: It's really easy to use, but at the same time very powerful. It's a great competitor to CCleaner. The best part is the registry cleaning utility that finds those pesky stray entries that CCleaner can't. It's also nice that the registry is automatically backed up so you don't need to worry about finding the backup if something goes wrong. It's also great that it tells you why it's safe to delete something rather than just listing them all there and letting you figure out if it's safe or not. There are so many utilities available that almost all maintenance can be performed using Glary Utilities using a single click.

  Cons: The disk clean up utility is a bit lacking. It's nowhere near as good as CCleaner's disk cleaning capabilities. It misses alot of temp directories that could use some cleaning.

  Great Utility software

  by: tush_jainn on 19-Jul-2008 08:39:15 AM

  Pros: It does more than most of the expensive software's available in market...

  Has so many features and all of them work. At the end one would wonder why it's free?

  1.Does registry clean.

  2.Unwanted file remover (temp etc..)

  3.Recovering shift+delete files.

  4.Basic tune up.

  5.Empty folder remover.

  6.Process check.

  7.Memory manager.

  8.Spyware remover (not sure of the effectiveness).

  and MANY other features...worth giving a try.

  Cons: with so many feature, i doubt someday they may give inbuilt OS in the utility...haaa!! haaa!!
