UPCleaner 

Among the endless list of free system optimization tools, UPCleaner stands out from its competitors for a number of reasons. On the one hand, its compact, well-designed, and intuitive interface makes it not only a nice-to-look-at utility but an easy-to-use one, too. On the other hand, it offers just the right combination of junk cleaning features and privacy protection tools to guarantee a fast and safe system use.

Apart from the more obvious task of getting rid of all the unnecessary files left behind by uninstalled programs or your daily browser activity, UPCleaner offers you specific tools to boost up your system’s performance, your Web browsing experience, and to manage unwanted startup items and your PC’s memory use. Besides, you will find a useful update assistant, a Power Eraser utility to uninstall apps and thus free up space, a speed tester, and a browser protection utility all packed in a convenient toolbox.

Important as it is, keeping your PC free from junk and no longer necessary files is but a fraction of what UPCleaner can do to improve your system’s performance. Actually, it’s the program’s set of PC and browser protection features that differentiates it from the massive choice of PC cleaners available. Thus, the program offers you tools to protect your default browser, search engine, browser shortcuts, and homepage from being hijacked, as well as other features that will protect your privacy, your vulnerable DLLs, will remove any malicious Chrome extensions, etc.

Additionally, UPCleaner is capable of checking all your startup items and allow you to disable those that don’t really need to be launched as soon as your system awakes. It can also help you get rid of apps that you don’t need any more or that resist being uninstalled for all the wrong reasons. Finally, this comprehensive tool can also clean up and optimize your system’s memory for a smoother performance, and show you the top memory usage programs to let you decide it they really need to be idle all the time or be there at all.

UPCleaner is certainly both an attractive and a highly useful addition to your desktop that not only will cost you nothing, but will also keep your system running smoothly and protected against the most common online threats.
