Uniblue PowerSuite is a quality suite of tools to keep your PC running smooth and fast. Its utilities include everything from spyware removal and prevention to assistance in removing installed programs and defragmenting your computer registry. In all, Uniblue PowerSuite is a great set of useful utilities that have impressed us quite a bit in our testing.

One thing we really liked about PowerSuite is that it isn't as cluttered as many PC System Utilities programs we have seen. The options are pared down to things the common user will find useful. This keeps the product simple, while still retaining a level of functionality that is superior to many other products.

Ease of Use:   Excellent

Uniblue has created a utility suite that is fairly easy to use. PowerSuite uses a loading screen that tells you the status of your computer from all three included programs (RegistryBooster, SpeedUpMyPC, and DriverScanner). Most of the options are one click, while the ones that are not include easy to follow instructions.

While it's nice that the suite contains the functions of three programs, having three separate programs can be confusing and frustrating at times. The interface and feel of all three are identical, and easy to use and navigate. But having to navigate between the three does have it's downside.

Ease of Setup:   Excellent

Setup is as easy as hitting next a few times. It is fast and informative. Uninstalling is just as easy and fast, and more important, complete.

Maintenance/Diagnostics:   Excellent

Uniblue PowerSuite includes utilities to help you uninstal and completely remove installed programs, manage your startup programs and clean up your Internet browsing. It also helps with repairing and defragmenting the registry.

Repair/Recovery:   Excellent

The only recovery features within Uniblue Powersuite are those associated with the registry repair portion of the suite. The ability to create and restore both partial registry backups as well as full registry backups are available.

Optimization:   Excellent

The optimization capabilities of Uniblue PowerSuite are fast and complete. Utilities to help you free up system memory and optimize processor usage are available. There is also a section dedicated to optimizing your startup and Internet usage.

Feature Set:   Excellent

Included with Uniblue PowersSuite is a spyware detector, a registry repair and defragmentation program, a system optimization suite, and a system cleaning utility that consists of a file shredder, junk file remover, uninstaller, and privacy scanner to remove cookies and temporary Internet files.

Help/Support:   Excellent

Support for PowerSuite is limited to an online FAQ/Knowledgebase and a support ticketing system. The FAQs section is full featured and well stocked with questions.

Summary:  

If you are looking to keep your system running clean and fast, Uniblue PowerSuite is a great option. It includes spyware protection as well as offering a host of applications to help keep your PC clean and running fast. PowerSuite is easy to use and comes with good support. However, even with the features of three distinct programs, PowerSuite didn't pack as many features as some of the other utilities software we reviewed. You may want to compare PowerSuite with Advanced System Optimizer, System Mechanic, and TuneUp Utilities.
