Free Windows Cleanup Tool helps you keep your computer running as smoothly as possible with a combination of utility programs. Through this app's convenient interface, you can access multiple tools to remove the clutter from your machine and maximize efficiency.

Pros

Clean interface: On the right-hand side of this app's interface, you'll see options for the various actions the program can carry out. These include Cleaner, Registry, and Defrag, as well as some others such as Startup Manager that are grouped together under Tools.

Settings and preferences: The Settings menu in this app lets you further customize your user experience by allowing you to turn certain features on and off. For instance, you can opt to have the Cleanup Tool automatically run when the computer starts, and you can determine how many times deleted files are overwritten.

Cons

Registry scan time: While the regular cleaning scan didn't take too long, the Registry scan took more than half an hour to complete. You can use other parts of the program or other programs on your computer while this is running, however, so it's not a big negative.

Bottom Line

Free Windows Cleanup Tool is a handy utility whose streamlined interface makes it a good choice for users of all experience levels. It's well designed, and it delivers good results with almost no effort on your part.
