360Amigo System Speedup Free

CNET Editors' review

360Amigo System Speedup Free is, as the name suggests, the free version of a larger utility. And while the company hopes you'll like the Free version enough to buy the full-feature version, the free offering is still a good utility in its own right.

Installation is simple and fast, but it still offers to create a system restore point for you, which is a nice touch. Once launched the 360Amigo System Speedup Free is straightforward. Several options are grayed out (prompting you to upgrade to the paid version) but the basic utilities such as junk file cleanup and an optimizer are all fully functional. The junk file cleaner searches your drive for temporary and cache files, allowing you to delete them and free up disk space. The system optimizer examines your system and offers advice for system tweaking on a variety of fronts. It also suggests automated routines that you can implement to help keep your system optimized with less intervention. The interface is easy enough to understand and use, and the tools do what they claim.

There are a lot of similar utilities on the market. We compared 360Amigo System Speedup Free to TuneUp Utilities and they both performed the file cleanup and system optimization well, with a few insignificant differences in their operation. After optimizing and rebooting, performance didn't change much, but there were subtle changes. We also compared 360Amigo System Speedup Free to other free utilities for file cleanup and optimization, and unlike many of the others, 360Amigo System Speedup Free does the entire process without demanding you upgrade. For that reason, as a free utility, 360Amigo System Speedup Free is an excellent addition to most systems. We ended up putting 360Amigo System Speedup Free on our utility disks and several systems we don't have full-featured utilities installed on, and it performed admirably.

    "Mediocre Program"

    March 4, 2013  |   By 1dustpelt

    Version: 360Amigo System Speedup Free 1.2.1.7900

    Pros

    -Cleans effectively
    -Does what it claim to do

    Cons

    -Slows down boot time by a lot after adding itself to startup
    -Heavy resource usage
    -Better lighter alternatives with more features
    -This program has not been updated in years. There forums are deserted. I am wondering if their company still supports this

    Summary

    Does the job, but not the best

    "Worthless and Usless"

    January 29, 2013  |   By edcal4121

    Version: 360Amigo System Speedup Free 1.2.1.7900

    Pros

    Nonenonenone

    Cons

    Annoying and slow down startup big time.

    Summary

    This program looks good but it has a mind of its own. Will force itself to start everytime you turn your computer on even if disable in startup and hogs up cpu at startup then tells you comp took to long to start up. That makes me nervous that a progran can do what ever it wants. My comp runs better without it.

    "UNLOCK SO MUCH POTENTIAL"

    December 28, 2012  |   By flippedcanvas--2008

    Version: 360Amigo System Speedup Free 1.2.1.7900

    Pros

    Well the basic cleaning functions are the best software can aim for + if like me you manage to get a free version of the program you'll notice a tremendous improvement in all ways everywhere in the computer.

    Cons

    The only problem is that the basic version might be a bit too useless that's it.

    Summary

    I regained all the megabytes eaten away by slimcleaner and avg put together,the exclusive functions make this software a one of a kind I still can't fault it.

    "Extremely useful programme"

    October 15, 2012  |   By awjrfam

    Version: 360Amigo System Speedup Free 1.2.1.7900

    Pros

    It really does speed up my PC and I run it once every week. It also alerts me to how long it takes to start - with useful detail.

    Cons

    I am not aware of any cons.

    "Regular Updates?"

    August 10, 2012  |  

    Version: 360Amigo System Speedup Free 1.2.1.7900

    Pros

    It's free, so you've got nothing to lose

    Cons

    Here it is, mid August and no updates since March? Concerning the "internet defense" section, I hope all those malware guys took a six month vacation, because they would zip by this aspect of the program.

    Summary

    Update the program a few times a year, maybe a few of us would actually buy the pro version. Check their website/forums, (no activity for months)....zzzzzz

    "Great Product To Be Free"

    July 25, 2012  |   By thesweetestone

    Version: 360Amigo System Speedup Free 1.2.1.7900

    Pros

    This product found and repaired errors that other free products (CCleaner,WinUtilities,Spybot,Microsoft Security Essentials) didn't find or repair. 360 Amigo free FIXED 26 registry errors that my paid product(System Mechanic Pro)found but couldn't repair. I thought I'd give 360 Amigo free a shot. No other product, including SMP,fixed these errors. I ran the other free products 1st, then ran System Mechanic Pro.(which found but couldn't fix the 26 registry problems) Then I ran the 360 Amigo free. I restarted my computer after each product was run and checked with System Mechanic Professional each time to see if the problems were repaired. To my surprise, after running 360 Amigo free and restarting my computer, I ran SMP again and all 26 of the registry errors were repaired. I really like System Mechanic Professional, but when it's time for renewal I am considering the purchase of 360 Amigo Speedup Pro.

    Cons

    I didn't have to run the 360 Amigo more than once to fix the registry problems that I had but since then I have had to run in more than once to get rid of all my problems that are slowing my computer down. I run it, clean it, run it again and still there are different problems that it finds, so I have to repair those problems as well. Sometimes I have to run it 3 or 4 times in a row to fix everything. But once it has clean everything up for me my computer runs as fast as it did when it was brand new. With the free version you can't set a scheduled time to run this product and I don't think it scans as deeply as the paid version would, but I am excited to try the paid version when my System Mechanic Professional expires.

    Summary

    One of the greatest free products that I have found. I like the free version so much that I am going to purchase the Pro version.

    "Really makes a difference!"

    May 7, 2012  |   By mikasina

    Version: 360Amigo System Speedup Free 1.2.1.7900

    Pros

    Extremely easy to use
    Way more options that I've seen elsewhere
    Great results!
    No spamming, pop-ups

    Cons

    None that I have seen

    Summary

    I recommend it to everyone, especially the not-so-computer savvy. You don't have to be a wiz to figure out how to work this software, but if you do choose to go more in depth, the option is there at the low cost of free.
