Manage updates with the Download App
CNET Editors' review
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.

"Glad I bought this!"
Version: Auslogics BoostSpeed 5.3.0
Pros
It works!
I got a good deal on the program on the company's facebook page.Cons
In my opinion, it is kinda expensive if you pay full price for it - I probably wouldn't have bought it if I hadn't gotten the discount.
Summary
Reading different opinions on this and similar speedup software I wasn't sure what to believe. I got the trial of this program and liked how good it looked and how well it cleaned up my hard drive. The defragmenter worked pretty fast too. A friend pointed me to this software and told me to look on their facebook page for coupons and stuff. I'm glad I did. This is a piece of software I actually enjoy using and I can tell it works, since my computer boots up faster and is more responsive in general.

"Looks like the reviews are trolled by Auslogics staff"
Version: Auslogics BoostSpeed 5.3.0
Pros
None I could notice.
Cons
Yes it a con.
No real trial, it's payware.
There are freeware applications around, use them!Summary
It's basically waste of time crap.
I suppose the 5 star reviews are written by Auslogics employees, friends and families. -
"DON'T DOWNLOAD IT. I wish i could give 0 star!"
Version: Auslogics BoostSpeed 5.3.0
Pros
None. It's just crap.
Cons
It deletes important files and mess up your registry.
Summary
I bought the full version and I regret it. I use a Windows 7. I scanned my computer and fixed the 'problems'. It deleted some dll files. My registry is a bit messed up now. Hopefully, I made a backup before!!! Don't download this or any other "optimizer" or "registry cleaner" or w/e like this if you use a Windows 7. Windows 7 doesn't need those. It'll just ruin your computer.

"Still impressed"
Version: Auslogics BoostSpeed 5.3.0
Pros
I could see a few obvious improvements in this version, mostly in the interface and usability. Still love it just the same!
Cons
At first I thought they removed the disk error check tool, but found that it's still there. Not sure why they did this, but as long as it's there and it works, I don't mind the relocation.
Summary
I honestly don't think there is a better tuneup program out there.
Oh, and to the person who says they hate it - you don't hate the software, since it seems that you've never even used it. What you hate is the fact that you didn't see the price and thought it was free, when it is clearly not advertised as free. You can't review and rate a program based on that. -
"Terrible Product DOOO NOOOT DOWNLOAD OR BUY"

Cons
THIS PRODUCT IS TERRIBLE. YOU HAVE TO PAY TO GET THE REGISTRY REMOVED. DO NOT BUY IT. WHAT ARE CNET THINKING...

HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT

"Nice update for an already great program"
Version: Auslogics BoostSpeed 5.3.0
Pros
The latest version 5.3.0.5 has some neat features added that make using duplicate file finder, task manager and some other tools easier.
Cons
I miss having disk error info on the front page, but you can still access it by going to disk repair in Advanced Tools.
Summary
I can tell a lot of things have been worked on and improved, and I'm sure I haven't noticed all of the improvements yet since installing the last version a couple of days ago, but I love what I've seen so far.
