    Please be aware that the "free" version of Glary Utilities now includes a (totally unneeded) browser toolbar. IMO that makes the software ADWARE.
    However, there is a slim version available that doesn't include the toolbar:

    Still, 1 star for not properly disclosing the adware part

    Every time my comp got rather slow, I reinstall the system for fast PC performance. But that is what I did before I knew Glary Utilities. Glary UItilies helps me get rid of all those crap of browser history, cookies, temp files and so on. It's fast and efficient because it has 1-click maintenance. In addition, its function of Encrypter ensures all my personal files confidential. I am totally assured that my private information can't be accessed by other people.

    This is the first slim version of Glary Utilities that installed a "prestart" program in the scheduled tasks folder during installation. This program needs no boost to start and even if the scheduled run feature was available, I would resent the entry being there if it was turned off.

    I would normally rate Glary Utilities up there along with TuneUp Utilities, but this author has just wiped out a thousand "attaboys".

    One other anomoly: the program asked for a reboot after installation, which it hasn't done before or since, and then crashed during the process; said it was unable to register some DLL.

    There is no Trojan or virus.

    Version 2.5
    http://www.virustotal.co...dd57d88aae82075bf662f10

    Version 2.8.366

    Version 2.9.518
    http://www.virustotal.co...dd57d88aae82075bf662f10

    Btw. current version is 2.9.

    In the free version there is only advert-ware. The free version will by default install Ask toolbar in your Internet browser, but it informs you about it and let you de-select it.
