If you know a little about how a PC works, but wouldn't consider yourself an expert, this system optimiser may be for you.

It includes seven separate options: Registry Optimiser, Registry Cleaner, Registry backup & Restore, Memory Optimiser, History Cleaner, Hard Drive scan & Repair, and Startup Manager. These are pretty self-explanatory and mainly involve a single mouse-click to perform.

There seems to be an annoying little bug in the software, in that when a task has been completed there is no 'finish' button. Instead, you have to close that particular window (using top-right 'x'), which returns you to the main menu.

The Memory Optimiser will be of particular use to PCs with scant resources, as it allows you to force your PC to recover memory when its available resources reach a specified level.

Many of the tasks can be performed in one go by using the one-click optimiser, which can be set up to your preference.
