Free Registry and Spyware utility

A while back, I was tipped off about an application called Glary Utilities, billed as “The #1 free, powerful and all-in-one utility in the world market!” This piqued my interest, and I installed it, deciding to try it out, as it has received favorable reviews from several places, including CNet.

The installation is just as simple as it should be, the only annoyance is that it offers to install the Ask.com toolbar, as well as set ask.com as the default search provider. While I harbor no antipathies towards ask.com, I don’t particularly like toolbars that don’t add any new functionality.

According to GlarySoft, Glary Utilities offer a wide array of functionality, from system optimization to spyware removal. The main window looks like this:

It looks to me like they might be trying to do too many things in one utility, but all in all, it looks like a decent tool, and can be found here.

Addendum (2nd of January, 2023). Their website has now gone the way of the dodo. Hence, I’ve removed it from the post.
