Toolwiz Care is suite of system optimization tools, capable of fixing registry entries, deleting junk data, and speedind up the PC overall.
The program offers a no-install option at setup initialization. In this case, you can rest assured that no new entries are added to the registry. Plus, you can run Toolwiz Care from any location on the hard disk, and on any machine from a pen drive or similar storage unit.
The interface is user-friendly and offers quick access to all main features. You can get started by running a checkup on the system and view preliminary results.
Monitoring download and upload speed, CPU and memory usage, CPU temperature, and disk access speed is possible in the main window or when hovering the mouse over a horizontal frame placed on top of the screen, which stays on top of other windows.
Once the scanning procedure is done, you can ask Toolwiz Care to immediately fix all found issues. When it comes to the registry, the tool looks for Start menu, installation, uninstallation and application invalid ID keys, firewall expired keys, as well as corrupt application data, shared DLL, startup, font, help file, sound, ActiveX and COM entries.
As for disk cleanup, the focus of activity shifts to Recycle Bin items, Windows temporary and log files, invalid shortcuts, empty folders in “Program Files”, system crash dump files, expired Prefetch items, and others.
Supported web browsers for privacy cleaning include Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome: temporary, cache and cookies files, recent typed URLs, saved passwords, autocomplete form, Index.dat files etc.
A tool that’s not included in the checkup is for analyzing disks. You can point out a drive or folder to view total files, folders, junk files, zero-sized files, empty folders, and huge files.
To speed up the system, Toolwiz Care supplies a fast defrag method, startup applications manager and reporter, along with an optimizer engine for improving response time and system stability, GUI and Command response time, file system and network security and speed, application response speed, and others.
These are just a small part of what Toolwiz Care has to offer. By exploring it further you can find out additional tools for shredding and splitting files, generating passwords, managing applications and context menu entries, and many more.
The application is surprisingly light on the system resources, has an excellent response time and finishes scan-and-fix jobs rapidly. No error dialogs were shown in our tests, and Toolwiz Care did not hang or crash. Although it’s rough around the edges (e.g. the registry cleaner didn’t fix all issues in our tests, although the tool labeled jobs as successful), users will find Toolwiz Care resourceful and practical (the app manager, for instance).
