SlimWare Utilities provides popular, free software that cleans, speeds up and optimizes PCs. The company's products take a crowd-sourced, user-generated approach, so it makes sense that SlimWare would want to reach out to power users for feedback about its latest beta -- SlimCleaner 4.0 -- before launching the final version.
Right now, BetaNews readers can sign up for this special-access beta by hitting the link below and using a special code to download the app. This beta version will be available for a limited time before SlimWare releases the final version to the general public.
A few highlights about the SlimCleaner 4.0 beta:
The company's most comprehensive and ambitious software product for keeping PCs clean, optimized and running at peak performance, SlimCleaner 4.0 includes a duplicate file finder, an intelligent defrag and a software updater to keep all software installed on a PC current, along with other improvements and enhancements. This new build combines solutions to the most common PC problems and puts them in a single, easy-to-use, automated software product.
Intelligent Defrag: Allows users to run a personalized defrag based on their specific PC hardware. SlimCleaner will identify a PC’s drive after cleaning it and allow users to start a defrag based on settings intelligently determined by the PC’s hardware.
Software Updater: Lets users check for updates to the software on their PC and install those updates directly from SlimCleaner.
Solid-State Drive Optimization: The intelligent defrag system works with solid-state drives by organizing files into logically sequential sectors while minimizing wear on the drive.
Duplicate Finder: Provides users with a quick and automated way to find and eliminate duplicate files that can clutter and slow down their hard drive. The duplicate file finder wipes out extra or unneeded copies of files -- including text files, videos, music files, etc. -- that can take up space. The feature includes settings to allow for different levels of analysis.
