We’ve covered a lot of small tools that help you clean up your Mac, make it run smoother, securely delete files, recover deleted file, or search for them. Though OS X does most - if not all - of these things natively, it doesn't offer as many customization options, or work as well as several third-party offerings. You can always look for apps that are meant to solve individual problems, or you could invest in an app that does everything for the right price. MacKeeper is a very famous app that acts as an antivirus and anti-theft app for your Mac. It also lets you encrypt data, recover deleted files, securely shred files, create backups, remove junk files, find duplicates, estimate the disk usage and break it down for you, uninstall apps and the many files they can sometimes leave behind, help you optimize start-up apps, and edit the default apps for different file extensions.

Is your PC taking more time to boot up than it really should? You even added more RAM or swapped your CPU, but neither seemed to help?

Anvi Startup Booster is a Windows application that can monitor and disable programs that automatically launch during Windows logon. It allows you to quickly toggle startup applications, services and network settings on the fly.

Delay Or Disable Windows Startup Programs To Speed Up System Boot

The number of programs in Windows Startup determines how long will it take for your computer to be ready for use after booting into Windows. If there are a lot of programs, Windows tries to load them as soon as the operating system boots up, making it impossible for you to use the computer during that time. In short, the more the startup items, the longer the wait. Most of the applications allow you to choose if you want them to launch at startup, however, some of them are automatically added. You can edit the Windows Startup list by adding or removing programs from the startup folder, but using a tool for the job is always simpler and more effective. Today, we have an application called Quick Startup that, as its name suggests, is meant to do just that and a little extra. Developed by Glarysoft, this application allows you to add, edit or delete Windows Startup items through a clean, user-friendly interface. It shows them in a list with a security risk rating and path displayed against each, and for users who don't want to get a startup boost without having to get rid of any items, it provides the option to delay the execution of some programs so that they don't create a bottle-neck at startup.

Finding the startup items has become difficult in Windows, as Microsoft Configuration Utility often fails to list down startup scripts from offline malicious sources. One of the solutions that most power users suggest is to search the Windows registry to find and remove all malicious startup programs, but this process is quite tiring and can take quite a while to explore all the programs that surreptitiously invoke their processes and services when Windows logon process starts. If you’re having a hard time finding all the startup programs, processes, services and scripts, we recommend giving RunAlyzer a spin. It’s an advanced system startup manager that collects all the programs and their registry keys under one hood. Read More

The amount of time your computer takes to start up and become responsive is directly proportional to the number of applications added in your startup. It means the more the applications you have set to run amidst Windows Logon, the longer it would take for Windows to go fully operational after a cold reboot. If there are a lot of applications in your startup, Windows tries to load each program as soon as the OS starts, which in turn sometimes, makes your system unresponsive, if proper CPU resources aren't met. One of the ways to improve Windows load time is increase the delay in application startup time using My Startup Delayer. The application allows you to specify the number of seconds between each individual application before Windows initiates it during startup. Although, the application is very handy and simple, if you want a more comprehensive software solution to manage your Windows Startup entries, then give Startup Master a try. It is an open source application that lets you optimize the startup and take control of the applications that run automatically on system boot. Read More
