MemoryCleaner for Windows

Free unclaimed memory left unreported with this simple utility. MemoryCleaner's tiny multitabbed interface takes only a few seconds to learn. Helpful bar graphs list memory settings on the Status tab, while a running graph displays free RAM on the History tab. The Settings tab lists check boxes for the various program settings. All are easily changed with a click.

Of course, the key to MemoryCleaner is how well it recovers misplaced RAM. The program is certainly easy to use. You merely set how aggressive the app should be during optimization and press a single button to start the very quick process. Our tests found that the app recovered small amounts of memory. However, so many applications grab and never return memory that your results may differ greatly. You don't have to manually implement this utility. With just a couple of clicks, you can set the program to automatically recover memory at a preset percentage of free memory available.

We liked MemoryCleaner's simple approach and small, but informative, display. Novice users will find it easy to understand and operate. Advanced users may miss the detailed options available in similar programs in this genre. However, any user experiencing memory leaks caused by faulty applications should give MemoryCleaner a test.
