Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This application rapidly scans and locates errors and junk files that may be hindering your PC's performance but this trial doesn't fix what it finds. PC Pitstop Optimizer is quite user-friendly, thanks to its step-by-step guide that scans your hard drive for temporary files, cache, and junk files left in the Recycle Bin.

While we were impressed with its speedy output, the software's ability to clean up and optimize PC performance requires registration. With its trial limitations, you might want to drive past this trial if you want to actually optimize your machine.Publisher's description
