4 stars
Version: Auslogics BoostSpeed 4.1.4.135
"Barley makes 4 stars for me."
Pros: It barley makes a 4 star rating for me. But as an owner of Boost Speed 3, which I loved on XP & hated on Vista, I found that $10.00 to upgrade was reasonable.
Boost Speed 3 was blocked by Vista on startup, v4 isn't. With the free AUS Defrag, which was also a love hate relationship, I find that with this updated program which includes it, it's actually better with no nag about junk files. The registry cleaner is less aggressive & safer in my book. The registry defrag did not mess up my Creative Music Player where the one in Tuneup Utilities 2008 did. There is an option in System Information that will create a full report which is much more accurate then the one the free Belarc Adviser displays. Even though there are solid, free programs that will accomplish almost everything this does, I upgraded for the $10.00 and feel it was worth that price. If I was a new customer, I wouldn't pay $30.00 for it because there are a couple, better like programs available. Personally, I prefer Win Utilities to this but having both certainly cant hurt.
Cons: The price as a new customer is more then it's worth with good freeware that can accomplish these tasks. It's not as easy to navigate as v3 was but thats probably because I was used to it. The program optimizations have to be selected manually where in v3 they were 2 clicks each.
