The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    WinUtilities is an award winning collection of tools to optimize and speedup your system performance. this suite contains utilities to clean registry, temporary files on your disks, erase your application and internet browser history, cache and cookies. you can control startup programs that load automatically with windows, find duplicate files, fix broken shortcuts and uninstall unneeded software. other features include secure file deletion, recycle bin shredding, cleaning tasks scheduling and undelete deleted files.

    This is an excellent program...even if you are a CCleaner fan.

    I wrote a 'review' on it at
    http://politicallymotivated.net/gotdreviews/167
    But the review is meant for GOTD users - many of whom are not very tech savvy; the kind of people who just need reassurance/be told what program is good/bad. So I doubt the review will be very helpful to the NBR crowd, but anyone is welcome to read it.
