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 pro set of tools"
Version: Glary Utilities Pro 2.56.0.1822
Pros
Registry Cleaner is thorough without being too aggressive. Glary includes a Spyware Remover not included by similar utility sets. Glary's Registry Defrag does a very good job compacting the Registry, better than most.
Cons
none, really; other than the fact that many of these features are available in the free edition, but that is hardly any 'negative'.
Summary
So many tools: Registry Cleaner and Compactor; Spyware Remover; Temp Files Cleaner; Shortcuts Fixer; Tracks Eraser; Uninstall Manager; Startup Manager; Memory Optimizer; Context Menu Manager; File Shredder; File Undelete; File Encrypter & Decrypter; Disk Analysis; Duplicate Files Finder; Empty Folders Finder; File Splitter & Joiner; Process Manager; Internet Explorer Assistant; System Information; and a module to allow quick access to Windows Standard Tools. I highly recommend this neat Utility Suite, the free version is good and the pro is even better; and that at a reasonable, modest cost.
