SlimCleaner is a cloud-enhanced Windows cleaner that uses crowd-sourcing to optimize PC performance. SlimCleaner combines all the essential tools for cleaning a PC with its stream of real-time community feedback and recommendations from the cloud. By accessing this contributive cloud, SlimCleaner obtains the latest information about software, services and toolbars, no matter how recent. Using the SlimCleaner cloud, users can rate applications on their PCs and provide comments about the features, functions and usefulness of various pieces of software, browsers, toolbars and other items. SlimCleaner uses this community feedback to improve its own optimization features and let users see the community ratings for various items and settings on their PC. The easy-to-use interface features tabs that let consumers clean their PC, analyze settings and disable or uninstall programs that are no longer useful, based on the choice of the consumer. With one click, users can run any SlimCleaner optimizing function, such as the cleaner, start-up and services optimizer, cloud-based uninstall manager, and others. In addition, by allowing users to scan suspicious files with its built-in cloud AV functionality, SlimCleaner helps facilitate detection of malicious code using information from several anti-virus engines or the public VirusTotal API.
What's new in this version: SlimCleaner 2.0.17251.23347 includes minor bug fixes and improvements to the user interface.
SlimCleaner packages a variety of cloud-based system-cleaning and -optimizing tools in one free utility. Cloud-based scans can be faster than regular scans, depending on your bandwidth, but their chief advantage is their ability to draw on the experience of real users to make sure you're scanning with the latest definitions and applying the right solutions for your system.
We'll start off by saying that SlimCleaner's colorful interface, basic features, and overall performance are comparable to other favorites. It includes a file shredder, for instance, and it centralizes access to a variety of useful Windows tools. It scans on schedule, and its "smart" cookies tool can clean your browser without losing your passwords. But what sets it apart is its Community-Based Ratings system. It analyzes your system, software, and browser settings, compares them with the cloud's knowledge base, and offers customized recommendations for cleaning, optimizing, and securing your computer. For instance, under Software, SlimCleaner listed all our applications, their publishers, and uninstall paths, as well as their community ratings. Some programs are unrated, but most of our apps showed green for Good, which we expected. The Browsers tab listed all our installed browsers (it handles all the major ones) and rated their extensions and plug-ins. The Optimize tool lets users remove programs from the startup list to speed bootups. The fact that SlimCleaner recommended making no changes to our tightly managed system actually told us more about its cloud-based scanning than the extensive manual, video tutorials, forums, and online help did; it didn't try to make meaningless changes just to prove was doing something. Our only complaint is tiny: the program's Web page pops up at the slightest touch. But SlimCleaner is totally free and uses no adware or toolbars, so that hardly seems worth a mention.
Community-sourced solutions help users improve their computer's performance and security without doing accidental harm. Anyone can benefit from SlimCleaner, but inexperienced users or those who are understandably cautious about using any system cleaner actually derive the most benefit from cloud-based solutions since they're typically the ones whose systems need the most cleaning
