"Optimizes and improves pc performance."

Overview:

Ace Utilities is a simple to use program that allows you to optimize your PC for maximum performance. Ace Utilities can make your PC run faster, conserve disk space, fix errors, uninstall programs, and much more. It's an award winning collection of tools that let you make the most of your PC and keep it running in top of the line condition. 

Installation:

Installation of Ace Utilities only takes a few short moments. The file size is relatively small, so you won't be spending a lot of time installing it. With just a few clicks, it's installed and you're done. There's no adware or spyware bundled with this program, and the evaluation period is for a full 30 days. You'll be prompted after installation to Try or Buy the product. The trial version is fully functional, which means you'll really be able to know whether or not you want to spend the money for the full version. 

To run this software, you should have 50 megabytes of free hard disk space, and at least 64 megabytes of RAM.

As far as Operating System support is concerned, you'll be needing Windows 98/ME, Windows 2000/XP, Windows 2003/Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8. 

Interface:

The interface of this program is a snap to use. The main menu of the program allows you to select what actions you want to perform, and the list of available actions is quite large. From the included interface, you can remove junk files, clean system registry, erase your history, fix invalid shortcuts, choose start up programs, find and delete duplicate files, uninstall programs, securely delete files, wipe deleted file data, find empty folders, analyze your disks, backup and restore the registry, use registry compactor, and finally system restore. 

Even beginners will get the hang of using the program without any trouble at all, as all the program functions are laid out in an easy to navigate and use fashion. Experts will be sure to appreciate the program too, because it does include a lot of tools all wrapped into one easy to use program. 

Pros:

Ace Utilities is one of the best programs out there for PC optimization. You get a full 30 days to try out the program with a fully functional trial version, which is good, and registering the program is pretty affordable too. There's other programs out there that attempt to accomplish the same thing, and do it for you as freeware, but these programs really don't compare to the streamlined ease of use that Ace Utilities is known for. 

This is a great program to register for the full version, especially if you find all the available tools useful and the ease of use is worth it to you. 

Cons:

Advanced users won't find additional features like disk correction available
