SpeedUpMyPC 2012 Review

SpeedUpMyPC 2012 claims to give computers a boost in performance by scanning and identifying problem areas that affect the performance of the PC and then resolving those issues quickly and easily with just a few clicks.  The software is composed of a many tweaks that boost system resource management, optimize system and network settings and get rid of junk files that may be bloating your hard disk.  Let’s see how it works.

Before running SpeedUpMyPC, I took a screenshot of the size of my hard drive.  As you can see, the C Drive is dangerously low on free space.  This program claims to reduce that size by removing a bunch of unnecessary junk files and thus speeding up the computer.

The program can be used as a standalone program but it also is part of the Uniblue PowerSuite. It looks like SpeedUpMyPC 2012 found over 7,000 issues that affect the performance of this computer.  This program regards an issue as a potential optimization that increases computer performance.  There are three different categories; System Tweaks, Speed Tools and Junk Files.  Launching the application to fix these issues seemed like the obvious choice so I did so. 

Once the application was launched, the Speed Scan tab showed the three different categories in more detail.  The System Tweaks and Speed Tools speed loss bar showed a critical level of unresolved issues while the Junk Files was only Serious.  You can view the different categories in greater detail if you choose.  Looks like most of the problems found were in the junk files section.  Most of the unnecessary files are located in the Windows temporary folder and the User temporary folder, the Recycle Bin is empty.  I wanted these issues fixed to speed up my pc, considering the fact that Uniblue is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, so I smacked the Fix Issues Button.

When it was finished, I was informed that all of the issues have been resolved and that I should keep SpeedUpMyPC running to ensure that the speed tools remain enabled and to scan my PC regularly to keep it running faster. 

Now the SpeedUpMyPC 2012 System Barometer is pointing to sunny and tells me there are no issues slowing down this system.  Quick and easy, that is a good thing.

All of the speed tools and system tweaks can be managed through the Manage tab.  The CPU Manager, Software Launch Booster, Proactive Thumbnail Generator and the Start Menu Software Accelerator can be disabled if you choose. The same goes for all of the System Tweaks that were performed.  Gives the power user a few things to play with. 

By cleaning out all of the temporary junk files, the free disk space went from 2.12 Gigabytes up to a more comfortable 3.57 Gigs of free space.  That is almost a gig and a half of free space added.  Impressive. 

The best way to measure the performance of the PC is by using it and I notice quite a bit more performance on this computer.  The apps open faster, the startup is faster and the overall performance is noticeable.  We have been reviewing this product through many previous versions and it has never failed to accomplish the tasks that it claims to be able to perform.

SpeedUpMyPC 2012 is a very easy to use program that performs optimization tasks that are necessary to keep a computer running at its peak performance.  The program does what it claims to do and is easy to use.  For those reasons, Uniblue SpeedUpMyPC once again gets an honorable Brontobyte on a Scale of Bytes to Brontobytes and is a recommended computer optimization utility to have in your arsenal of PC tools.

Why is it that a rescan hot on the heels of a previous one shows approximately the same number of problems though the earlier ones were reported fixed?
