Windows 7 Utility suites?

RobMinor · May 12, 2009

I see some older threads regarding utilities and just wondered if there is a new consensus on what works and what doesn't for 7. I've been using the Advanced System Care 3 free edition, and sometimes Glary Uitilities. Main concern is the registry cleaner of course. Glary and ASC seem to have different ideas about a well-built registry, but I assume ASC is a bit more Vista/7 literate. So anyway, any ideas on what the best is, ideally a free one? Any ideas on what should be avoided?

I wouldn't suggest any type of optimization program unless it stated it's for Windows7.

One thing these "optimizers" do is tune up Windows services. Windows 7 services are much different than any other Windows OS. There have also been file structure changes and registry keys that didn't exist in past version.

So these optimizer mark them for deletion or changes security that could prevent you from connecting to the Internet, compromise your security, and as stated earlier, completely hose your system.
