Who doesn’t love a good tweaking tool? Everyone likes the idea of being able to boost the performance of their computer without having to shell out on potential expensive hardware and Auslogics BoostSpeed is an extremely accomplished utility that enables you to do just this. The latest version of the program is a major upgrade that sees not only added support for Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 10 but also new options that make the app and even more powerful tool for cleaning up and optimizing your computer.
The imminent release of Windows 8 is big news for all software developers, and the latest release of Auslogics BoostSpeed not only supports the operating system, it also allows for control of Metro processes as added new tweaks to the Tweak Manager (Yes, we know Microsoft dropped the Metro name). The existing cleanup tools have been enhanced so you will notice that there are new categories available in the Registry Cleaner, Track Eraser and Disk Cleaner making it easier than ever to protect your privacy and delete sensitive data -- these improvements extend to the wiping of USB drives.
As well as deleting unwanted files, the program can also be used to uninstall software that is no longer needed. There are occasional problems with uninstallers that do not do their job properly, and the Force Remove function has been improved here to help you to remove such troublesome apps. To help to boost the speed of your internet connection, there is an improve Internet Optimizer component. Other updated features include support for the latest version of all popular web browsers, including fixes to problems specific to Internet Explorer 9.
Of course, there are also the usual range of bug fixes to be found as well as corrections to errors that had been found in language files. There’s an added bonus as well; a single purchase of the program means that you are able to install the software on up to three computers so you can keep all of the machines in your home optimized. Auslogics has also updated the free version of its Disk Defrag tool, again with added support for Windows 8 and addressing a number of known issues.
