HiJack log pretty much replicates scans already included in other sections but with even more emphasis on potentially malicious items – SlimWare has this to say about Hijack Log “ Scan for startup items, toolbars, BHOs, ActiveX controls, browser plug-ins and other third-party or malicious items that can hijack or modify a system. Installed browsers are recognized and highlighted automatically, all five top browsers are supported: The user can then disable (remove) any items based on that advice – it’s a system which repeats itself throughout the various SlimCleaner sections. So I changed my mind, this is indeed one section the vast majority of my clients could definitely benefit from:īrowsers looks at all the add-ons, plug-ins, BHOs and other sundry extras these beasts tend to accumulate and rates them according to advice from the SlimCleaner community. If those users were to open this section and see items flagged red by SlimCleaner – well, the rest is pretty obvious. and don’t generally bother checking through the list of installed programs via Control Panel.

Optimize is quite basic and simply involves lists of startup items and running services which can then be disabled under guidance from the SlimCleaner community – in SlimWare’s own words it’s “ The world’s first cloud-based optimization engine that allows users to adjust startups and services that impact PC performance, using community-powered feedback.” An overall community rating accompanies each item with a “ More Info” button also available for…well…more info. Common areas are pre-selected by default but selecting/deselecting areas for cleaning is straightforward, and completely under the control of the end user: Components included for cleaning are Windows, Applications and Browsers. SlimCleaner opens to the primary ‘Cleaner’ section by default, there’s a navigation panel on the left hand side with additional options accessible via clickable tabs across the main window – a system which is replicated throughout. The scan completes very quickly and SlimCleaner’s intuitive GUI, with nice big buttons and all options set out in easy to follow menus, is then ready for work. It sounds a tad complicated but the ‘extras’ are purely optional and installation is actually quite straightforward.Īt first launch SlimCleaner initiates a system scan to identify all the items it will then list under the various sections. After running the pre-installer the main program (approx 6.3MB) will then be downloaded and installed.
Unfortunately this option is enabled by default so, if you do not want the Toolbar, make sure to ‘untick’ the associated box. Initial download is only 558KB but this is merely a pre-installer which includes an option to install the AVG Security Toolbar, plus change the home page and search provider to AVG Secure Search.
SlimCleaner has gained popularity in a relatively short period of time and generally garners positive editorial reviews and user comments. SlimCleaner incorporates two basic components, cleaning and optimization, as well as several miscellaneous tools. As with all SlimWare utilities, most of SlimCleaner’s elements rely heavily on user input and the subsequent accumulated cloud based data. SlimCleaner comes to us from SlimWare Utilities, a relatively new freeware developer with concepts firmly set in the cloud. I’ve been using CCleaner for so long I thought it was about time to take a look at a few of the more popular alternatives: Many contenders have since been released, enjoying varying degrees of success.
The three products are SlimCleaner, Toolwiz Care and Wise Disk Cleaner: Part 2: Toolwiz Care - Part 3: Wise Disk Cleaner - Part 4: ConclusionĬCleaner has been around for a long time, with a proven track record it has become among the most trusted and widely downloaded freeware applications available today.
