Glary Utilities Free

Glary Utilities is a software tool which combines powerful features necessary to manage an operating system, and improves the user’s computer performance. Glary Utilities appears rather outdated, however its features are very easy to access and are highlighted in coloured boxes on the screen.

Features

The options “Clean up and repair”, “Organise and improve”, “Privacy and Security”, “Files and Folders” and “System Tools” are shown to the left of the screen, while an array of choices for the chosen option is displayed on the rest of the screen to the right of this. We think that the program appears very quick to navigate and easy to use.

The user interface of the program is very easy to navigate. In the “One Click Maintenance” section, the user can configure the registry cleaner, shortcut the fixer, and access the start up manager, temporary file cleaner and eraser of tracks among other utilities. Once all of these features are selected, Glary Utilities can perform a rapid scan to reveal a number of problems, under each of the functions. The software then gets to work solving any and all problems almost instantaneously, but it does not specify if invalid registry entries are essential or not to Windows, so it may delete them.
The Disk Cleaner is able to remove junk data from the disks, while recovering disk space simultaneously. The Shortcut Fixer corrects any errors in the Start menu and removes unnecessary desktop shortcuts, and the File Shredder erases files permanently so they cannot ever be recovered. Disk Analysis can recover detailed information on any desired files or folders, while the Uninstall Manager can completely remove any programs the user does not want any more.

Comparison

In comparison to CCleaner, Glary Utilities offers several more options to the user than its rival. For example, with Glary Utilities, the user is able to perform every task which CCleaner will, but in addition, there is also the choice of encryption of files and freeing up disk space on the user’s computer. The two are very similar, however, and it is difficult to choose between them as to which is ‘better’. Glary Utilities, unlike its opponent, has a ‘1 click maintenance’ choice, which ensures the user is very safe. Both are free of charge to all users, and both, I believe, are very evenly matched.

Conclusion

In conclusion, I believe that Glary Utilities includes many of the elements required for the user to take good care of their computer; it is easy to use, and in my opinion is one of the best choices of cleaning software in existence. I think it is a very good software program.
