Been using it a few weeks now and my initial impressions holds.

1) Good looking, fun to use, and powerful . . .
2) . . . as long as one heeds all the comments above about how dangerous this can be. (And thank you very much, to all the commenters!)
3) One can take it stepwise. I first looked it over, learned about it. Then I did stuff with the disk space and looked for duplicates. Then I optimized the startup processes. There is no need to jump right into things like cleaning the registry.

Anyway, just popped back to leave a single downside comment; “In Glary’s Process Manager, I miss having stripcharts for total CPU and RAM, like Task Manager has on its Performance tabs.”

Thanks, GAOTD and Glary.

It crashed my machine – superb !!!! It has removed my DllHost.exe files and my COM Surrogate – my machine only works in safe mode. Don’t even think about it doing a reg clean or a defrag, it wipes out the machine! THere is no way of repairing it, and my machine has to go into the shop for repair and who knows when I will get it back, there goes my business for X ammount of days! Thanks

I just wanred to an update to my previous post about this program. I have been using this since it came out and I have to say I am impressed.
It actually did speed up my puter and has not caused any problems with any of my programs. So as far as I am concerned this is a good program.
I even used it to do the registery entries which I wasn’t keen on doing but in the spirit of testing I did it anyway and no problems.
I have been using tune up utilities 2008 and Glary has actually out done a program I have said was the best.
So think I will stay with the Glary program and thanks to GAOTD I got it free!

This software deleted important registry entries which controlled the ability to drag and drop and double click icons on the desktop as welll as being able to use hyperlinks on web pages to jump to other pages. Luckily I was able to restore the entries using the application and immediately removed it from my computer. Stay away from this program. It is dangerous.

@ Swpnclr

Seriously? You judge a software based on it’s name? How’s that working out for you?

This software was featured in Lifehacker. I’ve been using it for over a year. It’s amazing.

This is a great program and to be given the opportunity to use it, for FREE, that is amazing!
I recently read an article in a very well known PC nmagazine which was comparing utilities like this program.
Out of ten such utility apps, this one was the ‘recommended’ choice!
I highly recommend it too.
I have always used CCleaner to clean crap from the registry and it is great.
I ran the registry cleaner from this program though and, surprised or what – it found a whopping two hundred entries. I know enough about computers (i build and fix them professionally) to know that most of these registry entries were not just silly things to make it look like the prograsm was doing a great job (as a lot of similar apps usually do), no, the entries were indeed just stuff left over by bad uninstall program routines and, although theier effect on system performance is negligable to zero, or it is at least up for debate anyway, I still like to think the PC is better without loads of entries to files that no longer exist.
The other utilities in this program also removed vague and old files that were no longer used and, after rebooting I have found no ill effects from removing everything the program found!
EXCELLENT!

It did install fine and works okay on my machine but I can’t activate it! I am on Windows Server 2003..
