Reviewed by: CNET Staff
BoostSpeed is an effective all-encompassing utility suite, combining some of Auslogics' popular freeware titles such as Disk Defrag and Registry Defrag with services that they don't offer elsewhere. There's an uninstall manager, a startup manager for boot cycle customizations, RAM and browser optimizers, file shredder, DirectX diagnostic, Windows tweak manager, and several mini apps to manage Windows settings. It also comes with a rescue center that can back up any settings before you change them. No doubt, BoostSpeed gives you your money's worth, at least in terms of services provided. Upgrading also only costs $10, for those who own older versions.
Are they all worth paying for? That depends on what kind of user you are. Most, if not all, of these features are available as freeware from one vendor or another, and generally one in each category is top-notch or nearly so. Some of the lesser tools, like the tweaks manager and the security feature, didn't live up to our expectations. Tweaks focused on basic functions and wouldn't serve as a replacement for TweakUI, while the security feature merely let me know that we had up-to-date security apps installed. Still, the convenience of having all these tools located under one umbrella was hard to argue with, and even the tools that didn't impress did their jobs hitch-free.
Scan speeds for the features new to us included here were comparable with those in Disk Defrag. Users also got the convenience of optionally setting the program to run at startup and live in the system tray, making most of the program's functionality no more than a context-menu click away. The most useful tools are the Disk Defrag, the RAM optimizer, the Registry Optimizer--if you believe that "optimizing" the Registry is more than snake oil--the file shredder, and the performance monitor. The 15-day trial comes unfettered, allowing you to thoroughly judge if this is a program you want.

Version: Auslogics BoostSpeed 3.6.9
Pros: fast defrag tool. i didn't notice appreciable increase in system performance (only 8% as per the program's report) because my registry was not much fragmented (only 4%, as per the program's report) but it may be significant for those who have cluttered their pc with many softwares. again, like all Auslogics tools, it shows a very systematic & detailed report.
Cons: i understand that it may be important for it's working, but it requires all the running apps to be closed (including antivirus, if any) + rebooting, during the process.

Version: Auslogics BoostSpeed 3.6.9
Pros: There are many similar products but this one is my choice. It has all needed functions and even some additional. The main advantage of BoostSpeed is that it doesn't hide what it is doing, so it is very easy for you to decide which changes you want AusLogics to do and which are not suitable for you. Also it is very safe to work with this software. I have been using it for a particular time and my system shows great perfomance and stability.
Cons: None.

Version: Auslogics BoostSpeed 3.6.9
"seems cool, but screwed up outlook"
Cons: I tried to optimize Outlook, one of the options is "view messages as plain text" I didn't like this so I tried to switch back. Now I can't view any online images in html messages. Any ideas??? It's not the security images setting, I've tried that.

Version: Auslogics BoostSpeed 3.6.9
Pros: I have tried many programs in this capacity over the years. Up until now I have not been as successful as I am now in achieving significant improvements in my pc. I was ready to purchase a new pc but now that can wait (until they get Vista right?). Worth more than its price for me and I have the users writing in here to thank...thank you.
Cons: The pros far outweigh the negatives for me. I have no association with the business Auslogics but I certainly endorse this program.
