CNET Editors' review
If you're a home user with low-security issues, it's worth trying this user-friendly toolbox of optimizing utilities. Nicely designed with quick performance, Glary Utilities Pro will appeal to less experienced users.
Glary Utilities Pro launches a simply but nicely designed, tabbed interface for performing system cleanup and maintenance. Its basic scan includes a Registry cleaner, shortcuts fixer, startup manager, temporary files cleaner, tracks eraser (activity history and Internet traces), and a spyware and adware remover. Determining how to use this utility is very easy, thanks to its clear-cut design and organization.
Everything performed well in our tests. We liked its one-click maintenance scan--which located problems in each of the areas noted above in about 2 minutes--and that it listed details for each area's detected problems. The utility made repairs in less than a minute. The redundant Uninstall Manager and Startup Manager, while already available as Windows features, may be appreciated by users who like that they are bundled with other cleanup items in a single toolbox. The Memory Optimizer is a simple tool that lets you automatically optimize memory when CPU usage reaches a specified percentage. We liked the simple tools included in the Privacy & Security module, and these are appropriate for home use, but power users and commercial users will prefer more robust features.
The trial period is more than adequate for users to determine Glary Utilities Pro's suitability for their needs. The price may keep some home users from biting, but high-level users will skip this toolbox for more bells and whistles. On the whole, though, the user-friendliness of this tool collection makes it appealing for personal use.

"excellent program it does what it advertises."
Version: Glary Utilities Pro 2.55.0.1790
Pros
it is the best utility program that I have used. It is far better than any of the other utility programs and does not cause conflicts with this other software that I have on my computer. I would highly recommend buying this program.
Cons
it is lacking a couple of features that some of the other utility programs have such as Internet optimization and a defrag tool
Summary
this is the best utilities program I've ever used. It works well with my software. This is the best system utilities program on the market today.I would highly recommend buying the Pro version when you get a chance. They always give you a discount for first-time buyers.

"Easy to use / efficient"
Version: Glary Utilities Pro 2.55.0.1790
Pros
simple user interface
Cons
updates are cumbersome to download
Summary
fairly good for a freeware
-
"Great utility"
Version: Glary Utilities Pro 2.55.0.1790
Pros
Runs quietly in the background and lets you do things you want to do-shut down programs that eat memory and do nothing, clean up junk files and so on.
Cons
Don't use the registry cleaner-never written properly in any program I've ver had.
Summary
Very good utility for everthing you can do safely on your computer

"Does a lot, quickly and easily."
Version: Glary Utilities Pro 2.55.0.1790
Pros
Many needed PC maintenance functions. Super easy to use, 1 click to clean up registry, resolve shorcuts that point to nothing, clean up dangerous file in startup, deletes temporary files, and seeks and kills spyware, all automatically. There are many other functions, and a convenient menu to Microsoft system tools.
Cons
This is not a substitute for good anti malware software. It only cleans up things that your antivirus software misses.
Summary
I run the 1 click and several other utilities monthly...its like giving my PC a bath to get rid of the gunk. A bargain at a little over $2.00 a month.
