With this program you can maintain your PC at top speed with just a click of a button once a week." "To prevent system slowdown from happening, regular defragmentation of your disk and registry is recommended.

It's quite easy to "undelete" them and use in ways you probably will not be happy about.

Auslogics BoostSpeed is a software application presented as a bundle of software utilities intended to speed up, optimize and clean the user's computer, fix registry errors, improve Internet performance, remove unneeded files and entries, and defragment the disks and the registry. The program can also adjust Windows settings to match a specific computer configuration with the intent to improve Internet speed and reduce computer startup and shutdown time. The program is intended for use on computers that run the Microsoft Windows operating system.

Publisher[edit]

The program is published by Auslogics, an Australian-based company that specializes in maintenance software for computers that run the Microsoft Windows operating system. Started in 2008, the company products include Auslogics BoostSpeed and Auslogics Disk Defrag. In 2009 the company partnered with Sony Vaio to develop part of the Sony Vaio Care software installed on the Vaio laptops and desktop PC's. As of 2011, Auslogics has the Premier Elite Partner status in the Intel Software Partner Program.^[1]

History[edit]

Auslogics BoostSpeed 3 was the first official release of the program, as prior versions were deemed by their developers as requiring more work to be done. It started out with limited computer optimization options and expanded to include 18 utilities combined into one computer maintenance suite in version 5.2.0.0. The publisher also made the program available in different languages, with more languages being added from version to version.^[2][3]

ZOTAC, a Macau-based hardware manufacturer, included Auslogics BoostSpeed in its ZOTAC Boost XL software bundle, which is supplied with ZOTAC's mini-computers.^[4]

Independent tests[edit]

Auslogics BoostSpeed software received the Editor's Pick award from several software distributing and reviewing websites, including DownloadPipe,^[5] Brothersoft,^[6] Software.Informer,^[7] Free Downloads Center.^[8] It has been reviewed by computer experts from a number of industry magazines and websites, such as the online CNet,^[9] PC World, SoftwareCrew, as well as printed editions – Windows Vista: the Official Magazine,^[10] Computer Buyer,^[11] PC Advisor,^[12] Computer Shopper,^[13] Micro Mart.^[14] Most give it their highest mark pointing out the program's advantages, including the large number of computer system optimization tools included in one suite, its small size, its high speed and ease of use for inexperienced customers.

Among the disadvantages mentioned in online reviews are the limited functionality of the application's trial version and, again, the large number of tools, which requires a user to spend some time familiarizing with the application.

The Ultimate Guide to Windows Vista book published in 2008 recommends using Auslogics BoostSpeed to optimize Windows-based systems saying that "Tests showed an impressive performance improvement on a 4-year old laptop and its optimization techniques should work for a much newer computer, too."^[15]

In the independent tests performed by Asiasoft Online, an Asian publisher of Massively Multiplayer Online Games, Auslogics BoostSpeed improved the gaming experience on test systems by speeding up game launching, eliminating lags and increasing frame rate.^[16]

Auslogics BoostSpeed 7 is an impressive suite of tools to help you maximize your PC's operating efficiency. In addition, the program provides extra features that make managing everything about your system that much easier.

Pros

Tons of tools: BoostSpeed offers all kinds of ways to improve your system's overall speed and performance, as well as to protect your privacy and optimize your operating system. The Home section contains options for opening up disk space, improving computer stability, and boosting speed. Scans in these areas are completed automatically when you open the program, and you can quickly repair any or all of them with the click of a button. Other tools are available through various tabs running across the bottom of the interface, and these include a startup manager, a file shredder, a duplicate-file finder, an uninstall manager, a disk explorer, and more.

Advanced options: Novices will get plenty out of the main features available through the app's main interface. But experienced users will find advanced options through the Settings Menu. These include the ability to enable a deep scan, which takes longer but can root out more issues; an Ignore List, to which you can add Registry keys you want the program to skip during scans; and a Scheduler to set up automatic maintenance runs.

Cons

Action Center: The Action Center is with other tool sections arrayed across the bottom of the screen, but it's really not part of the app. All it contains are links to download other programs by the same developer, which could be confusing for novices.

Bottom Line

Auslogics BoostSpeed 7 is a powerful tool for improving your system's overall performance. The variety and clear presentation of the program's tools make it a good option for users of all experience levels.

Editors' note: This is a review of the full version of Auslogics BoostSpeed 7. The trial version has limited functionalities.
