Over time, the Windows Registry can begin to contain information that's no longer valid. Eventually this orphaned or misplaced information accumulates and begins to clog your registry, potentially slowing down your PC and causing error messages and system crashes. To keep your computer in top performance, it is recommended to periodically scan and clean your Windows registry with a reliable and efficient tool.

The Good
* Jack of all trades…
o Has many, many tools/features for users to use including but not limited to registry cleaner, junk/disk cleaner, disk defrag, startup manager, file undelete, secure delete, and EXE password protector.
* Almost no learning curve.
* Automatically creates backups before doing any changes to registry and gives user options to create automatic backups for other tools such as the junk/disk cleaner.
* Has a ’1-click’ system maintenance option.
* You can schedule times when maintenance will run automatically.
* Each tool/features/module is treated as if it is independent of the others so user can use multiple modules as the same time.
* “WinUtilities Registry Backup” creates non-proprietary .REG backups so user can restore without needing WinUtilities.
* “WinUtilities Privacy Eraser/History Cleaner” has a “plugin” feature which users can use to define custom files/folders to delete.
* Has a portable version.
The Bad
* …but master of none.
o Uninstall manager is simplistic and not much different than the normal uninstaller run by Windows/programs.
o Memory optimizer is the stereotypical, undesirable memory-overloading type.
o “History Cleaner” (aka privacy eraser) does not support all popular web browsers by default (only supports Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome by default).
o Startup manager does not have the ability to delay startup programs.
o “File Undelete” is a simple MFT reader.
* Lacks a file encryption tool.

At first I was wondering just what the difference between the pro and free version of WinUtilities.
http://www.ylcomputing.com/content/view/336/143/
The imaginative figures mentioned at the bottom of the page are impressive (not to be believed in most cases) to say the very least.
1. WinUtilities PRO can find and fix 200% more registry and system problems, than Free edition and other system utilities.
Of course this is probably a play on words – PRO *can* find and fix 200% more than any other system utility. Your results will most likely be nowhere near this – and depending on what you are already using – WinUtilities Pro may be a complete waste of your time.
2. WinUtilities PRO can give your PC a super performance boost. PRO users will experience a 300% improvement in both computer and Internet speed.
This one isn’t quite as careful. This PRO version will TRIPLE your computer and Internet speed. I’m putting my planned hardware upgrades on hold. Tonight my PC is running at 9GHz thanks to the super performance boost. If you are going to make fake claims – at least make them conservative enough so they will pass initial inspection.
5. Recommended most often by PC experts and editors around the world as the top Windows tool, and with over 100 five-star awards, WinUtilities PRO is the best choice for keeping superior PC health at your home or office.
Yes, we have heard all about PC experts and editors who award 5 star awards. “What’s that? You sent us an application that didn’t have a virus? Well done! Have an award”.
Just as many are given out by shareware sites so they get displayed on the program website like a advertisement returning the favor – we’ll give you an award, you display our logo on your website.
It only goes to show with over 100 of them, they are handed out like “how to vote” leaflets at an election ballot box.
6. We already have over 730,000 satisfied PRO customers – 98% would recommend upgrading to WinUtilities PRO to his/her friends.
mmm…. survey statistics. Can’t dispute those numbers.
7. Receive dictated technical support (365x 7/24) from our professional team.
dictated technical support? Is that via telephone or email or knee?
8. 30-day money back Guarantee. You’ve got nothing to lose.
credibility, time, patience, aspirations of a PC and Internet running at 300% it’s current speed.
In my opinion, WinUtilities is just “ok”. Nothing amazing or industry redefining. Just another utility suite, give or take, results will vary depending on how messed up your PC is to start with (as is the case with all the other utility suites).
Be careful about “cleaning” or as it is also known as “deleting”. The usual drill with all registry cleaners.
Oh and don’t believe the hype – especially hype written by the programmers mother. “My boy is a genius – he writes the best software in the entire universe”. ;)
I had downloaded the previous Giveaway of WinUtilities. It is really a good software. And this is the Free Upgrade for the users who had utilized the previous Giveaway..
But I’m still not able to decide which is better, Glary Utilities or WinUtilities..
Installation was hassle-free.. Thanks GOTD.
