WinZip System Utilities Suite offers a one-stop shop for optimizing,
defragging, and generally cleaning out your system--and it does a pretty
great job, adding extras that will come in handy whenever you need to
perform routine maintenance. The interface smartly mimics many of the
utilities in this genre--with various tools on the left, and the main
window showing the options for each tool--making it easy to clean each
area of your system quickly.
Like many modern system utilities, WinZip offers the option to be as
involved with the process as you want to be. From the Home screen, you
can simply hit the Start Smart PC Care button to go through a checklist
of common cleaning activities, in which the program will list errors as
it scans your drive. But you can also approach each problem one at a
time, by navigating the functions on the left side of the interface and
running individual scans of each type. However, with a little digging
through the menus on the left, you'll find much more than what's
included in the basic scan, such as uninstaller tools, memory
optimizers, a start-up process manager, and several other system
optimizers.
In our tests, WinZip System Utilities ran through the optimization
process fairly quickly, but we were required to restart to correct
various issues with the Registry. After the process finished and
restarted our machine, WinZip popped right back up to show that all the
processes were finished and we noticed a little bit of improvement in
overall performance.
If you're looking to get all your major system cleaning out of the way
without the need to run several different programs, WinZip System
Utilities is a great option. With added extras mentioned above, along
with the ability to create drive backups, remove browser histories,
consult a system and security adviser, and more, you can't really go
wrong using this app as your one-stop shop for system optimization.
