AusLogics BoostSpeed Review
Boost the Speed
|
You can buy it at RegNow for that price.
Lots of features available. Optimization tools for the network, internet, O/S etc all in one place. Some of them look and perform better than the windows version. Ideal for home and office use due to the flexibility and ease of use.
This software itself may need a little bit of tweaking that can help propel it to a more professional status.
It seems a whole lot of optimization tools have been put together to form the ‘super’ boostspeed.
To optimize the system it has:
• The registry cleaner cum defrager, a disk cleaner which is akin to what windows provides. I must admit that it found more errors than my previous registry cleaner. The demo version does not allow you to clean but only detect.
• Uninstall Manager which is also provided by windows. This software listed more than twice the number of applications than the windows add/remove programs listed for uninstalling.
• A tool to tweak the windows startup. Not of much use normally since we have a few links at startup but this is one step ahead in removing unwanted startup entries from the system registry as well.
• A disk cleaner, similar to the windows cleaner but detects lot more areas and detects all the nook and corner of for unwanted temp files.
This software seems like a system geek’s playground as it churns out more and more utilities and information from the system and network by a mere click of the button, but isn’t that what the computers are supposed to do? My favorite is the graphical status provider.
The features seem endless like the advanced network tools to ping and traceroute any IP address, check all open TCP connections including the UDP ports, measure the internet connection speed, domain name and IP address look up which searches a gamut of servers (based on the preferences selected) to get the required data.
The system allows you to select/deselect the degree of optimizations that you would require. This is more apt for the professional player. The novices can settle for the default options and still benefit from the optimizations which they claim to be 15% windows startup speed, 35% web page download speed and 15-30% of memory load enhancement.
There are other so called utilities like the banner ads blocker, performance monitor, computer management tool etc within the software. It also gives regular advice on the performance enhancement at any given point of time while you are minding your own business with other software.
Most of the tools that form a part of the whole Boost speed software package are already available albeit in numerous scattered forms, some of them in windows itself. If the general idea is to have all the tweaking tools in a common place, then this is the tool to look out for. Plus this promises that little extra.
