Best Free System Maintenance Software

The same way you take care of your car,with its oil changes,tweaks and tune up you should take care of your pc.Your computer (specially your Operating System) need alot of care,it is constantly working by modifying files,sometimes those modifications cause errors which then your pc logs and starts to slow down your computer, same has with the registry when it gets cluttered and alot of other sections.These are some good free utilities I have found, I think they do a pretty good job but to tell you the truth I dont use any, I always say you can find freeware thats equally good to paywares if not better,it doesnt look like the case with this.

If you have any extra cash,I really would suggest you buy TuneUp Utilities,I use it on a daily basis and might post a review on it soon.

This is our review for the top free system maintenance tools:
1. WinSock XP Fix:WinSock XP Fix offers a last resort if your Internet connectivity has been corrupted due to invalid or removed registry entries. It can often cure the problem of lost connections after the removal of Adware components or improper uninstall of firewall applications or other tools that modify the XP network and Winsock settings. If you encounter connection problems after removing network related software, Adware or after registry clean-up; and all other ways fail, then give WinSock XP Fix a try. It can create a registry backup of your current settings, so it is fairly safe to use. We actually tested it on a test machine that was having a Winsock problem due to some Adware removal, and after running the utility and rebooting, the connectivity was restored.They only problem I found with this was the development,this program was made in 2003 and undeveloped any further so dont expect updates.

2. Advanced WindowsCare:Advanced WindowsCare is designed to provide one-click care for your PC. It includes a quick spyware scan, adware blocking, privacy cleanup and several system scans that can find and fix invalid registry entries and clean up temporary files. The program also analyzes your system configuration and suggests changes to optimize performance. Advanced users can review all changes that are about to be made and make adjustments as needed - a restore option is provided in conjunction XP System Restore. Advanced WindowsCare provides a convenient way for non-technical users to perform routine maintenance and apply system optimization tweaks without the need to become a computer geek. The program can also be scheduled to run automatically. A Pro Edition can also be purchased that offers additional optimization features

3. Easy Cleaner:Easy Cleaner is a multi-featured system maintenance tool, that includes a registry cleaner, a startup manager, a duplicate file finder and a graphical chart to inspect disk space usage. The program also includes several options to remove junk files, unnecessary files and (IE) Internet tracks, as well as broken shortcuts from your desktop and Start menu. The cleaning behavior can be customized based on file types and folder location, and the program can track your action with an Undo list for all registry related clean-ups that allows you to restore your settings if needed.
