Its Registry cleaner allows you to scan, remove, and back up faulty Registry entries. You also can wipe out online and Windows traces, although Internet Explorer is the only browser in which this function is supported.

Version: Glary Utilities 2.5.3
"Old School Graduates To Higher Learning"
Pros: I have been using Glarysoft's software for some time now. What was once multiple applications is now incorporated into a single program, saving you disk space. Some new features are included as well in this app. Simply put this program gives you the tools needed to help keep your computer lean and mean. Plus it's FREE!
Cons: I have found one bug in an otherwise excellent bunch of code. Once you run a cleaning with the Tracks Eraser located in the Modules tab it will no longer work in the 1 - Click Maintenance scan. It will not delete detected items. You have to run the Tracks Eraser manually through the Modules tab.

Version: Glary Utilities 2.5.3
Pros: fast registry cleaner (never delets anything important), uninstaler, file/folder/free space wiper.
I would pay a hundred dollars for this.
Cons: there are no cons

Version: Glary Utilities 2.5.3
Pros: I really like the option that this program offered in one single program...
Cons: but immediately my computer started acting buggy, freezing and crashing. I don't know for certain that it was this program, but when I removed it (and another CNET download) the problems were resolved. Neither program was essential enough that I felt the need to test each individually and get to the bottom of the problem. It was easier just to remove both of them.

Version: Glary Utilities 2.5.3
"Fast, efficient, small footprint,low resource usage & FREE"
Pros: It is a pleasure to write the first review of this software. I am very impressed with it for the reasons stated above. One of the features that I like the most is the Process Manager. I use two other programs for process monitoring, but this one is fast and very intuitive. If the Windows Task Manager is the only program that you have used for this purpose you will be impressed.
I downloaded two free trials of other programs, but they cost $30 and didn't do anything better than this program.
There is no disk defragmenter in this program, but you can get that from another free program. Try Auslogics Disk Defragmenter.
That sums it up for me. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed.
Cons: It doesn't have a disk defragmenter.
