"Auslogics BoostSpeed includes modules and wizards for just about any kind of tweak or optimization you can imagine..." -- PC World, 2010
As most of us know all too well, PC performance degrades over time. Although for most of us it seems like some kind of mysterious and sinister dark magic at work, in fact, there are some very concrete reasons for this frustrating and expensive phenomenon:
- The Windows Registry (your PC's database of critical hardware and software instructions) accumulates obsolete shared DLLs, unused drivers, and unused file extension associations resulting from repeated installs and uninstalls.
- Your hard drive (NTFS and FAT) file systems become fragmented, forcing the read/write heads to make extraneous movements across the disk and reducing file read speeds.
- Unexpected restarts, software failures, web browsing, and daily computer usage leads to an accumulation of temporary files, browsers cache, log files, memory dumps, and other unnecessary bits of data. Over time these files can waste gigabytes of disk space, bloating critical Windows indexes.
- Certain applications and unnecessary Windows services launch automatically upon startup, consuming PC system resources.
- Inappropriate network settings greatly reduce internet access speeds, which can slow browsing to a crawl, even on super-fast network lines.
While Windows has the capability of addressing many of these issues, the necessary settings are often buried so deep that only super-users can readily access and make sense of them.
Auslogics BoostSpeed is a computer optimization and maintenance suite that was specifically designed to reverse the effects of these types of degradation. It includes 20 powerful tools that will allow even novice users to effectively diagnose and automatically resolve your computer's slowdown woes!
