Recently Auslogics released a new version of its optimization suite BoostSpeed. I had the previous version installed on my computer and have been using it for some time, so I decided to upgrade.

Here’s what caught my eye when I first used it:

1. I was really pleased to find the latest version of their DiskDefrag included in the suite. So now one doesn’t have to download it as a separate program. It’s really easy to use and is faster than the Microsoft defragmenter, which I have been using before I got Auslogics.

2. There is a feature called One-Button Checkup. Basically, it’s a fast system scan which notifies you of any problems. Fixing those problems is one-button-easy as well. So it’s good if you don’t have much time to optimize the system and if you’re not that technical and don’t know where to start. I had to spend quite a bit of time to figure out which tool to use first in the previous version.

3. Internet optimization wizard checks the connection first and applies changes only after that (which is what they all should do, but somehow some don’t). Also now it supports FireFox.

4. Tweak Manager will apply changes much faster and now it properly supports Adobe Acrobat Reader

5. Registry Cleaner now supports Symantec and Nero products.

6. The design is so much nicer. I know it doesn’t really matter, but gives a good impression.

7. Lots of customization options

On the whole, it is now a lot easier to use, gives you full system information and gets rid of errors such as junk files. Also you can undo any changes, so it’s safe to use.
A free trial version is available here. It’s valid for 15 days and then you can buy the full version for $29.95
