-pops- Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Much of the software that claims to do this promises lots but delivers very little.If it was any good, it would be a lot better known. As people don't seem very aware of it, I can only assume it is not of much use. I certainly wouldn't part with money for anything like this.

theguy Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 its lik CCleaner i thinkAdvanced WindowsCare Personal? is the free version better than CCleaner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 There's a lot of positive opinions of CCleaner amongst the membership here. If this BoostSpeed is similar to CCleaner then why not just use the latter and not take the risk of the unknown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As people don't seem very aware of it, I can only assume it is not of much use. I certainly wouldn't part with money for anything like this.I agree. In the early years of using a computer I tried a number if products claiming to "boost speed". None of them had any effect. The main ways to stop a decline in machine performance are by preventing download of malware & spyware, ensuring you have plenty of RAM, and regular purging of pieces of left-over programmes. Oh, and I nearly forgot, not to use a Norton anti-virus programme.According to McAfee SiteAdvisor BoostSpeed, though made by a reputable company, is offered for free downloading by some highly dubious sites. Use caution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 BoostSpeed is sold by Auslogics - who do good free Disk + Registry de-fraggers.I wouldn't bother paying for Boostspeed though !IObit's Advanced Windows Care Personal is a nice simple 1-click a day free application - covers Spyware, Registry System Optimisation and Privacy - but IMHO be wary of it's automatic Junk Files + Start-up options.

Scarecrow Man Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I too have had far too many sour experiences with programs that "optimize" your system. I tend to stay away from them now-a-days and just keep to my regular cleaning of temporary files / defragment / backup regime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
