Any info on Perfect Utilities?

The Windows Club (http://www.thewindowsclub.com/) has a message saying this if a very good, maybe better, annd FREE all-in-one utilitiy package. Has anyone here got a review on it?

Vulture in OK

 

I would not use anything they offer. Blatant use of MS Logo and what not. Besides such Super wonder apps can cause :crap Been there done that!!
Stick with MG for utilities. If you have issues with the PC Pls let us know.

Cheers.. :wave

 

^ Woah what a sweeping statement, sikvik!!

You are entitled to your opinion, but for whatever it is worth to you, thewindowsclub.com is a Microsoft Featured Community.

If you want something simpler and well-tested, vulture, stick with CCleaner

 

g'day vulture1957
i just downloaded it from the vendors web site there is a portable toolbar free version.going to install and let you know i will post back with a result.

 

Actually Vulture, I have yet to find the 'perfect' utility! However, I do agree with HappyAndyK concerning 'CCleaner.' It's simple and, most of all, safe. BTW, Vulture and HappyAndyK, welcome to MGs. Hope to see ya both around more often

 

Please accept my profound apologies :-o

Cheers....

 

Perfect Utils looks a lot like any of the other "all-in-one" type of tools like Advanced System Care or Win Mechanic or Glary Utilities. Personally, I'd stick with one of these 3 tried and true tools, but, on the other hand, Perfect Utils looks OK too. I'm not going to 'trial' it, but maybe someone else will and will post some helpful comments....
:-D

 

very true perfect apps are like the holy grail(doubtful),been using PD 10(auto defrag).both perfect disk an perfect diskRX seem very good tools but they are not free[edit:now have trails per the link](not arm and leg either).RX does the same as CC cleaner It seems.lets you pick cookies to keep and delete the others among other thngs it does.NOT realtime either unless one sets it up that wayRX or PD10.
yes both work togther.http://www.perfectdisk.comhad Diskeeper years ago Perfect disk does Not take out Wimdows regular Defrag.DK does.just sayin

 

. . . and one other thing . . .

I was just poking around the Perfect screen shots, and their defragger looks E X A C T L Y like Auslogics defrag. :confused Kind of odd, no?

Even the sentence at the top of the defrag window is identical. I think that either Perfect "borrowed" Auslogics defragger, or they developers are the same. Here's a link to the Perfect defragger screen shot: http://www.putils.com/images/puscr/13.jpg Attached below is a screen shot of Auslogics running on my PC..... whudduyathink?

 

checked this out has a lot of useful tools there
disk cleaner
registry cleaner system control
history cleaner bho remover
disk defrag startup manager
memory optimizer auto shutdown function
shortcut fixer process manager
duplicate file finder uninstall manager
windows tool reg backup & search
file undelete file shredder
file splitter password protect .exe files
also has a rescue app so you can undo what ever goes wrong
stores backups of every thing you do.both default and advanced settings.
i haven't really used this type of program before now so i might keep it
for a while and see how it performs over a period of time.

 

Happy Andy - I really don't want to dig myself any deeper. Can you explain "MS featured Community"?

If affiliated with MS & MSVP LOGO - I don't see why the site is advertising MS bug fix utilities, Chrome as a browser, not to mention TOP 10 Malware which infect Windows. A number of AV's. Also a poll regarding MS security essentials with 700 odd votes etc etc........

 

Just to clarify. It's not Google's Chrome, but Chrome Plus you are propagating.
Ditto colours and placement as Google's browser logo. Only difference being the leaf design. Quite shady I would say specially as the contact ID is @ Gmail!!
The Home page is not opening for me as of now!

Cheers...

 

All of these exact same features are available in the aforementioned Glary Utilities and WinMechanic. These both have been here at MG for a long time and have been proven to be useful, clean, and TRUSTWORTHY apps. I may just download 'Perfect Utils' and compare it to other apps. Since the defragger appears to be exactly the same as Auslogics (which has been around for years), there's no telling what else may have made its way into this 'Perfect' program.

 

Windows Featured Communities Quite a few less than in the heydays of Vista beta,

 

interesting.I saw Pefect in beta so think they had it first.however side by side they can be interpeted a looking exactly alike.iwunerdowunder might you be looking at the RX features? reason being it does do those things...yes dlb the side by side thing here is in play.never tried Auslogic so no comment,wary of things free,sometimes you can get more than you wanted.with PD there is support/help if you need it dunno about yours.as stated never tried it,in fact just now heard of it here.below screenshot of perfect,ageed odd,they're not exactly alike but darn close

 

i have run through a had a look at the features ran the disk cleaner in both default and tweaked it up a little in the advance settings was astonished by it finding 427mb of unused files which i removed "not before backing them up" so they are still on my computer and i can put them back if things go wrong,so far no problems with any other programs.
also ran the defrag im not sure how Auslogics defrag works because normally i use defraggler,found it interesting that it goes through 6 levels to complete the process.
just out of curiosity i also had a look through the file undelete program considering with ccleaner i use the gutmann level of cleaning when i empty my recycle bin i was amazed at the amount of recoverable files it found.

 

Glad you approve iwunderdownunder.what you found is in RX too,ain't technology grand?was astounded myself after first run.use it on demand now to Not have realtime apps running if I don't want them to as the forum suggested the suite and MBAM currently are the only ones running realtime.get almost as many alerts fom MBAM as the suite,usually what it missed

at one time or another had at least one Glary utility.never tried or heard about the other until now.Glary did not impress much(had paid).since then two desktops and now a laptop.wish the processor speed was more than 2.0ghz - desktops were 3.0 +(last one).before that 2.98 so to me this is slow even with 4gb ram with dsl.perfect has been around a long time too according to microsoft.they do not need to borrow/take from anyone.Raxco products are what the started out to be.just this year a third party started handlling their product much like others and digital river. mean to say the MG forum never heard of raxco?No sarcasim just asking.figuring it has.that being said then we know how long they HAVE been around. Doubt any piracy went on in a big way.
