Glary Utilities – Swiss Army Knife for Maintaining PCs

Glary Utilities is a freeware application designed to be a swiss army knife for maintaining PCs. It is designed to be very simple to use so it is something I would feel comfortable leaving with my clients (or family) to give them the ability to “house clean” their own computers. Although this application is powerful, it doesnt give them the ability to do any serious damage to their computer (unlike something like Hijack This!) Glary Utilities has the following features:

• Registry Cleaner – Fixes invalid or incorrect registry entries
• Shortcut Fixer – Cleans up invalid shortcuts
• Startup Manager – Cleans up dangerous startup entries
• Temporary Files Cleaner – Cleans up temporary files and recovers disk space
• Tracks Eraser – Erases your activity history and internet traces
• Spyware Remover – Removes spyware and adware
• Disk Analysis – Shows you the disk usage of your files and folders
• Duplicate Files Finder – Searches for space-wasting and error producing duplicate files
• Empty Folders Finder – Finds and removes empty folders in your Windows install
• File Splitter and Joiner – Splits large files into smaller manageable files and then rejoin them
• Uninstall Manager – Uninstalls programs completely that you dont need anymore
• Memory Optimizer – Monitors and optimizes free memory in the background
• Context Menu Manager – Manages the context-menu entries for files, folders etc..
• File Undelete – Quick and effective way to retrieve accidently deleted files
• File Encrypter and Decrypter – Protects you files from unauthorised access and use
• Process Manager – Monitors running processes and optionally stop them
• Internet Explorer Assistant – Manages Internet Explorer Add-ons and restores hijacked settings
• Windows Standard Tools – Provides direct access to the useful windows default fuctions.

Although the screenshots make it look like one of those fake antivirus applications, it really is a great, easy to use tool.
