Editor's Review
The integrated tool that is primarily responsible for enhancing system performance is the registry cleaner. The registry cleaner effectively scans the users registry for erroneous, damaged, or missing registry files. The software conducts routine registry scans, and if any of the aforementioned faults are discovered they're presented to the user who can then decide to repair the registry automatically, or manually fix the situation using the recommended course of action. Since the registry is one of the main file systems on the PC, simply having such a tool will improve the overall system performance dramatically, especially on older machines.
PC Tools Desktop Maestro uses a state-of-the-art detection algorithm when scanning the registry for errors. The software also makes a backup of the registry before making any repairs, which keeps the registry secure in the event of unexpected hardware failure. Using the registry backups created by PC Tools Desktop Maestro, users can also restore their registry to a healthy state in the event of damages caused by malware.
The next feature is also just as vital as it plays a crucial role in protecting sensitive user information such as bank account info, credit card numbers, addresses, and passwords. PC Tools Desktop Maestro's integrated Privacy Guardian automatically erases all temporary internet files and other traces of internet browsing history that could be used for nefarious purposes by intruders. By routinely deleting this information, the software effectively prevents occurrences such as identity theft and fraud.
Privacy Guardian not only deletes internet browsing history, it also deletes other hidden files and system records which could be used to reveal private information about the user. With Privacy Guardian users can rest assured that all of their private data is routinely wiped out and kept from the prying eyes of hackers and cyber criminals. By keeping the amount of temporary files stored on the user's hard drive to a minimum, the software is not just protecting private data, it is also improving system performance by reducing the workload on system resources.
Finally, PC Tools Desktop Maestro provides yet another performance enhancing utility within the system optimization feature. This feature lets the user actively monitor all system resource usage such as RAM usage, CPU usage, memory usage, disk space and more. The system optimization module also includes a registry compacting feature that compliments the Registry Cleaner by automatically repairing gaps in the registry.
PC Tools Desktop Maestro: What We Liked
The software combines three great programs into one perfect performance enhancing utility.
Using all three features is simple, as they are all located in a centralized user-friendly interface.
Keeping the registry in optimal condition has never been easier with the integrated Registry Cleaner utility.
PC Tools Desktop Maestro: What We Didn't Like
The installation process can be a bit lengthy.
