No matter how fast your PC, it needs significant maintenance if it is to run effectively. Wincleaner Complete PC Care from Orlogix is a multi-purpose program designed to optimise Windows, boost performance and protect your PC from viruses.

One of the program's main features is the ability to search your PC for any unnecessary temporary files created by Windows. It also clears redundant data collected while surfing such as pictures, cookies and other clutter.

The Registry can become very large over time and can slow down your PC. Wincleaner will remove invalid and unused entries, although this worked for some Registry entries in our test PC but not for others.

Another feature is Wincleaner's ability to recover accidentally deleted files. However, it failed to do this to a satisfactory level in our test. Ironically, it performed exceptionally well when permanently deleting files; it actually overwrites data with digital gobbledegook before deleting it, which makes files virtually unrecoverable.

The Startup Optomizer is another useful tool. This identifies and disables unnecessary programs that run when your PC is switched on, which reduce the amount of time it takes to start your PC.

Wincleaner can also move applications safely from one drive or folder to another. It can also modify any associated references in the Windows Registry, which if left unchanged could render your moved application useless.

Wincleaner is a useful application but it's a little expensive given the fact that you can perform most of its features in Windows with a little know-how.
