Cleaning Tool:TuneUp Utilities



 TuneUp Utilities, from tune-up.com. Sadly, this one only has a 15 day trial before asking you to upgrade for a hefty $25. TuneUp Utilities will increase performance, maintain your system, customize Windows, fix problems, and give you live optimization and turbo mode that will speed up your computer in real time. This is the only one out of the three that I had to actually install on my machine and it felt a bit clunky when in use. Although TuneUp Utilities is a little bit slower than the other two, it feels like it did find more files to clean up.

Cleaning Tool:CCleaner



 CCleaner, available at piriform.com. CCleaner has a version for $24.00 or you can get their portable version for free. This freeware will remove unused files from your PC, clean your registry, and clean traces in internet history and online activities to give your PC more free space and faster performance. CCleaner is fast and everything is built in. As apposed to Glary Utilities, CCleaner lets you, for example, uninstall programs straight from the tool, no need to jump over into Windows Explorer.
