Glary utilities is a collection of a number of useful and powerful system tools and utilities which help you fine tune your system and enhance its performance

Pros of Glary Utilities

1. A Maintenance Panacea!
Classified into 5 different sections namely Cleanup and repair, Optimize and Improve, Privacy and security, Files and Folders, and System Tools, it contains a variegated spectrum of utilities such as - Disc cleaner, Registry cleaner, shortcuts Fixer, Uninstall manager, Startup manager, Memory optimizer, Context menu manager, Track eraser, File shredder, IE assistant, File Encrypter/Decrypter, Disk analyzer, Duplicate files finder, Empty folders Finder, File splitter and joiner, Process Manager and Windows Tweaker.

2. Decent Interface
You won’t have to ferret out for the functions. The interface makes sure that none of the features is more than a click away from you.

3. Uninstall Manager
Although the Uninstall manager provided in the software does nothing more than what the windows add/remove programs does, it can populate a long list of applications a zillion times faster. It also supports batch uninstall.

Cons of Glary Utilities

1. Contradicting results with counterparts
On running the registry cleaner tool I got a few results which were contradictory to the ones provided by a similar software from other developers. So it all depends then on how much and which software you trust. No comments on this from my side!

Bottom Line

I would call it a must have except if you have your loyalties towards other similar tools.

    Seems to be same as TuneUp Utilities ‘07, isn’t it? But the difference is that this one is free

    It’s nice! Free and similar to tune up. But I think This one is more excellent than tuneup coz it have lots of features and options.

    I still really enjoy using CCleaner as my registry/Windows tweaker app. This looks cool too, so I might give it a shot. Thanks
