Ease of Use:  

WinCleaner is an easy-to-use program for anyone who wants to clean, fix and optimize their computer fast. If you want a PC System Utilities program that is highly customizable, WinCleaner is not the best choice for you. But as far as an easy to use program, WinCleaner couldn't be simpler.

Ease of Setup:  

We had no trouble installing Wincleaner.

Maintenance/Diagnostics:  

WinCleaner offers a notable diagnostic tool: It tells you when a hard drive failure is possible. It also alerts you when the hard drive fills to a certain capacity, and it monitors the temperature of your hard drive at all times, warning you if it gets too hot.

The One-Click Maintenance tool makes maintaining your PC easy for all computer users regardless of expertise. Other maintenance features include an Add and Remove Uninstaller and a Startup Manager.

A problem we have with the Startup Manager is its security rating system; the system could not identify some of WinClean's own programs, making us wonder about its ability to detect the security level of other manufacturer's programs. This software also does not have a Process Manager or a process blocker.

Repair/Recovery:  

WinClean has a destroy function that can securely delete sensitive files and folders and can wipe your hard drive clean of any previous data, but the program does not meet US Department of Defense standards.

WinCleaner comes with an undo function, which allows you to recover any changed or deleted file.

Although this software recommends backing up your hard drive before optimizing or cleaning, WinCleaner does not offer a backup utility.

Optimization:  

WinCleaner offers many handy optimization tools like memory optimization to run applications faster, registry optimization and cleaning to organize Windows registry files and reduce storage space concurrently, and the ability to defrag specific files, folders, the registry or the entire hard drive.

The WinCleaner defrag tool handles malfunctioning system detections poorly; the program halted the defrag process each time an error popped up. This means you must constantly monitor your computer to address errors as they appear or the defrag process gets put on hold indefinitely.

Feature Set:  

WinCleaner comes with a useful antivirus program and popup blocker, but doesn't come with many customizable Windows features as other PC System Utilities software packages do.

The program's File and Folder Undelete is a clever tool that scans your computer for specific files and folders you've erased; these can be recovered even if you've emptied the recycle bin.

Help/Support:  

The help and support provided by Business Logic Corporation for WinCleaner is first-rate with a built-in manual and help that is context-sensitive. When you click on the help button, it provides help specific to the page you're on.

Online, Business Logic Corporation offers a FAQs page and email support, which can also be accessed through the software. The technical support staff gives free advice, but unfortunately, the telephone number to reach support isn't toll-free.

WinCleaner Complete PC Care is perfect for beginners or anyone who wants a good PC System Utilities software program that covers the basics without the hassle of customization.
