System Cleaner 5.54 Review
Posted by: Codrut Nistor in Reviews

Some people consider that computers are just machines, while others get into the danger zone with the care (and sometimes a bit more) they show for their PCs. Well, you don't have to be a lonely maniac that lives for his computer and doesn't interact with real humans to understand that maintenance software can help you and your computer have a better life together, and the software suite I have for you now is one of the choices that is worth considering. Its name is System Cleaner, and comes from Poinstone Software.
Setup
The last version of this application is 5.54, to be as accurate as possible, and its setup package has 3.24MB in size. The trial version available for download has limited features, and after 15 days, the program will stop working without a valid license code. As you can see in the screenshots below, installing System Cleaner is as easy as it gets, so let's leave this part behind and move on.
Interface
Features
The features of this program are grouped into the following categories: Clean Up & Repair, Optimize & Improve, Privacy & Security, System Control and, at last, Analyze & Compare. Now, let's have a quick look at each of them...
The first two categories could be easily merged into a single one, since they have 4 tools with close purposes - Disk Cleaner, Registry Cleaner, Registry Defrag and Duplicate Files (remover).
Next, we have the Privacy Protector and Shredder, inside the Privacy & Security category. Most tools that can be found inside this program are wizard-style, so you'll be guided all along the way, even if you're shredding files for the first time, for an example.
In the end, things get really interesting, since the last two categories have six handy tools - the Startup, Uninstall and Internet Explorer Extenions Manager, inside System Control, and Disk Space Explorer, System Snapshot and the File Associations Manager, grouped under the Analyze & Compare banner.
The Good
System Cleaner 5 is an excellent system maintenance suite that can be used by beginners and experienced users alike, and currently the special offer allows you to purchase it for only 29.95$.
The Bad
Additional features like parental control and tracks removal would be a nice addition, considering the fact that some competitors can offer more for about the same price tag.
Conclusion
I usually don't like to say "buy this" or "don't buy it", unless the product under my scope is an amazing one or a complete failure, so now I'll only say "take your time and try System Cleaner". It's your decision, but in my opinion, this program is worth at least your time to hit the download link and give it a try.
