Advanced SystemCare Free

Here's a quick and easy way to juice up system performance--and it's free as well. Advanced SystemCare Free (formerly Advanced WindowsCare Personal) has all the basic tools you'll need for speeding up your system, and is exceedingly easy to use. It even includes a one-click fix in which the program does an analysis and then fixes any problems it finds.

Most useful are the startup manager, which shows you all the programs that run on startup, and lets you kill any you no longer want to start; a Registry fixer, that fixes invalid or incorrect Registry entries and values; and a system optimizer, which alters the way Windows runs, in order to improve performance. There are a slew of other tools as well, such as a spyware remover, junk file cleaner, and privacy sweeper. And there are also some very good tools for showing details about your hardware and software configuration.

Bear in mind that the Advanced SystemCare Free will install the Yahoo Toolbar by default, so if you don't want it installed, make sure to uncheck the box during installation.
