Boost - Speed up your PC

Softonic review

A free app that may help speed up your PC

Boost - Speed up your PC is a small and simple program that you install onto your local hard drive on your PC. It removes temporary files and switches off some of your apps to increase the speed of your PC. The program consists of buttons that you press to activate the program. There is very little customizing or setting up required.

Removes files and disables some programs

The app/program is able to access tools that your web browsers and your PC allow users to access. Instead of you going into the tools on your PC yourself, this app does it for you and removes files such as temporary Internet files and so forth. Freeing up this space may help some PCs run faster if the PC’s hard drive is almost full. The app will disable some of your current programs in order to free up the CPU power. However, within minutes, many of the background services and programs are running again, which means that some people will only experience a temporary speed increase when using this app.

Best used by people who have a very unorganized PC

If you have used your PC like a dumping ground for files, and if you have not run maintenance on your PC for a long time, then Boost - Speed up your PC may allow you to continue in that manner. Even quarterly maintenance of your PC will help you avoid many of the issues that Boost - Speed up your PC masks over. Its ability to remove temporary and semi-temporary files may be useful to some people.

Boost helps you gain back control of your PC by improving performance and stability with one click. There is nothing better than the feeling of a brand new PC. However, over time your PC quickly becomes sluggish, bogged down with tons of programs and clutter. With Boost, one click is all it takes to make your PC feel like new again.

Boost helps to restore the pep in your PC by removing crapware, bloatware, trialware, bundleware, and adware. Such “crapware” (and yes that’s an industry term) are known to cause system crashes, boot delays and just give your PC an overall sluggish feel. There are many forms of such extraneous software such as unneeded toolbars, adware, tracking programs, and other “free promotional software” to name a few. Think of crapware as being, just a whole mess of clutter that is causing your PC to feel bogged down.

Boost is not a registry fixer. Do registry fixers really work? There is much controversy over the usefulness of the many registry cleaner utilities on the market today, or the concept of registry cleaning in relation to improving a PC's overall performance and stability. In theory cleaning your system's registry could have some benefit to the underlying operation of Windows, however with modern Windows operating systems cleaning the registry is automatically handled by the OS.

Boost has one goal in mind... make your PC run like new again. Boost is also designed with everyone in mind; from PC power users to the most basic user.

PROS

A simple app for people who don't want to customize
The interface is basic and easy to use

CONS

Many of the disabled apps turn themselves back on again
The app tries to install bloatware

Any time my pc is running slowly, I just hit the Boost button, and it speeds things up. Tech people can go and review what all the app did to boost your speed, I don't care to do that though, I just know it works and I love it. More
