System Cleaner 5.92

If you want your computer to run as smoothly and as rapidly as the day you brought it home from the shops, then you need to perform certain maintenance tasks from time to time. One such maintenance task involves you taking out the trash – and by trash I mean the files that are needlessly taking up space on your computer, weighing down your system and causing it to act sluggish.

You can do this in one of two ways. You can do it yourself, or you can turn to specialized software that can do it for you. The problem with manually removing trash files is that it can take a bit of time – plus you have to know where to look and what to delete. For that reason it is advisable to use specialized applications.

Such a specialized application is the Pointstone Software-developed and aptly named System Cleaner. Here is what you can expect to get from System Cleaner, from a functionality point of view:

- Removes temp files and other junk files that are needlessly taking up space on your computer.
- Removes the traces you leave behind when you use the computer and when you surf the web.
- Scans and addresses Windows Registry errors (which are the most common cause of slowdowns and crashes) and defragments the Windows Registry.
- Locates and removes duplicate files.
- Tweaks Windows settings so your operating system works faster.
- You can schedule System Cleaner to do its job automatically.
- Securely deletes files so data recovery tools cannot bring them back to life.
- Displays the applications that automatically run at startup.
- Allows you to easily uninstall applications.

Before you go get System Cleaner and put it to the test, take a look at the technical details presented below:
