System Utilities for Windows


System utilities are the core software functions that allow you to manage your computer in ways that you would find it inconceivable to be without. System utilities are usually already included with Operating System, however in my experience, installing the best ones of them from the internet really boosts the performance of PC. No matter where you look, you can always find plenty of system utility programs at little or no cost. Just download it, run the setup file and play with these system tools.



Disk Cleanup
Disk Cleanup allows for you to scan your entire hard drive to search for extra room by deleting any unneccessary files such as temporary files from the Internet and cookies that are downloaded when you visit webpages.

Security Software
Imagine using a virus free computer! Wouldn't it be awesome! It would be for sure.
But i don't think this is really possible. Today's generation virus are a lot more powerful and capable then we can even imagine. A minute pinhole is an easy gateway for them to hamper our computer. Afterall they are a computer virus and most of us are familiar what they are capable of.
I have tried to list some of the Security Software for safeguarding our computer against Trojans, viruses and malwares which have their own unique features and functionality.

USB Disk Security
When it comes to computer’s security, everyone is alert and fears Trojans, viruses and malwares. Fortunately there many applications up to the protecting job, both in the category of antivirus software as well as in the category of firewalls and there are even some really good freebies available. But when it comes to offline mode of protecting the computer, USB Disk Security is the best choice.



Everyone knows… USB Drives, Optical Drives and other data transferring Medias like Bluetooth besides transferring data does transfer viruses too. A computer virus is a piece of code which sometimes causes serious damages to the computer though most of them are manipulating type only. But still, giving some space for virus in the computer means looking for uncalled trouble.
USB Tools section contains two options for protecting your computer from the malicious USB drive. The first one allows you to enable/disable immunity by automatically blocking most malicious programs from USB drive. The second option in USB Tools is Safely Remove. This action guarantees safe removal of USB drives once all files stored on it are closed.



With ‘easy to use’ interface, USB Disk Security is one of the recommended Security Tool for offline computers. I have been using this security software for some years and I am really satisfied with it. USB Disk Security prevents malware located on inserted USB sticks from infecting the entire computer. The application does not reside on the USB drive but on the computer and every time you stick the memory in the system it'll immediately analyze the storage device and alert you by displaying the threats. The best thing about it is that it is fully compatible with other antivirus softwares. Installing USB Disk Security is like strengthening your computer’s security. Once bought, this software does not need regular updates for Virus Database Signature unlike antivirus softwares and its license is for lifetime.
