Best Optimizer And Security Tool.

In computer science, program optimization or software optimization is the process of modifying a software system to make some aspect of it work more efficiently or use fewer resources.In general, a computer program may be optimized so that it executes more rapidly, or is capable of operating with less memory storage or other resources, or draw less power.

Our personal computers are like fine automobiles—they need preventive maintenance to run efficiently and avoid major breakdowns.

There are various matters of concern.

-Whenever a program crashes, or you experience some power outage, your computer may create errors on your computer's hard disk. Over time, the errors can slow your computer.

-Your computer can pick up and store temporary files when you're looking at Web pages and even when you're working on files in programs, such as Microsoft Word. Over time, these files will slow your computer's performance.

-Don't be shocked, but your computer can get sloppy. Your computer often breaks files side by side to increase the speed of access and retrieval. However, as files are updated, your computer saves these updates on the largest space available on the hard drive, often found far away from the other adjacent sectors of the file.The result: a fragmented file. Fragmented files cause slower performance. This is because your computer must now search for all of the file's parts. In other words, your computer knows where all the pieces are, but putting them back together, and in the correct order when you need them, can slow your computer down.

-The Web is a sparkling achievement of modern society. It's everywhere—from the home to the classroom. We use it to communicate, to work, to play—even to waste time when there's nothing else to do. Here the privacy and security is the matter of concern.

-Computer viruses and spyware (hidden software that gathers information about you without your knowledge or consent when you're using a computer) both reduce system performance. Computer viruses can not only reduce performance, but they can also destroy data. Any computer that accesses the Internet should have antivirus and antispyware programs installed.

Maintaining your computer is a lot less messy than an automobile. You don't even have to roll up your sleeves if you have a good optimization and security tool installed on your computer.

So people lets search and compare various tools available to ensure a perfect system.

Finally I have chosen these 5 Optimization Softwares for comparison from cnet relying on their ratings.

1. Ashampoo Winoptimizer

2. TuneUp Utilities 2010

3. System Mechanic Professional

4. Advanced System Optimizer

5. Advanced System Care

These applications contains various usefull utilities but our stress will be mainly on those tools that concentrate on disk performance,registries errors & performance,system protection and other areas that are very important for the computer maintenance.

Comparison Process:

- A virtual machine has been used for the purpose of comparison

- All these above mentioned Softwares are installed on the virtual machine and snapshot is taken.

- Now few spywares are also installed on this virtual machine that are available online such as

Computer Use Reporter 3.1.0 , Elite Keylogger 4.3 Build 070 , IM-Worm.Win32.Chiem.a and Net Monitor for Employees Professional 4.1.7

- Now the "Complete Scan" has been performed by all the softwares mentioned above.

The detailed scan results are shown in the pictures.

The "Comparative Results Table" & "Total Points Earned Table" are shown in the pictures. Advanced System Optimizer has fared well in all the segments.

All these applications contains various useful tools that can cater various of your computer's needs and help you to keep your computer optimized in easy way.

Advanced System Optimizer contains this unique tool named "Driver Updater" that all other lacks. Driver Updater updates missing or outdated drivers and can even maintain backup.

All the major Segments are covered in the Comparision.In case of the "Single Click Care or Optimiztion" if some Tools are not used by the Application that were desired for the Comparision, I have performed the Scans with the individual tool in that Application i.e Defrag 3 in Ashampoo Winoptimizer 7 & Privacy Cleaner in System Mechanic.

There is this tool named "Antispy" in Ashampoo Winoptimizer 7 that has nothing to do with Spyware or Malware" cleaning or protection."Registry Defrag Tool" is also not there in Ashampoo Winoptimizer 7.

It is very strange that Ashampoo Winoptimizer 7 & TuneUp Utilities 2010 both does not contains a very useful tool "Antispyware" that is very essential for any "Complete Optimization Tool".

In case of Advanced System Care the tools "Smart Defrag", "IObit Security 360" and "Game Booster" are not clubbed with the Application and only their download links are given.This is very annoying...If the tools are not contained by the application,What is the reason to show them in the Utilities Section?

CONCLUSION

The result table is in front of you and accordingly "Advanced System Optimizer" has proved it's performance in all the segments with the highest 27/30 Points

"System Mechanic" has also done better in comparison to other low scorers with 19/30 Points

Advanced System Care, Ashampoo Winoptimizer 7 & TuneUp Utilities 2010 have not performed as per expectations with 14/30,12/30,12/30 Points respectively.

Advanced System Optimizer's performance has Pushed it to be the No.1 Optimization Tool.

So The Best Optimization & Security Tool Is "Advanced System Optimizer".

Thanks All Of U
