Clean junk files and improve Windows speed with DrivePurge

Posted: 22 Jul 2012 11:00 AM PDT

DrivePurge is a free portable system cleaner which will scan your computer for unnecessary junk files which are known to accumulate over time and slow down your system. If you’re not careful enough, you could also lose a lot of disk space, so it’s always a good idea to check your computer with a system cleaner and see if there’s room for improvement.

DrivePurge doesn’t have to be installed, it’s a portable application which makes it perfect for computer technicians when they are visiting a customer and when they want to do a quick PC optimization from the thumb drive, without going through with the installation hassles. As you can see from the image above, DrivePurge is capable of cleaning the system in three different ways.

System Cleanup
Drive Cleanup
User Tracks Cleanup

Each one of these has several different subgroups of system locations, applications and registry entries which will be scanned and where system problems can be detected. According to the creators of DrivePurge there are over 750 different system areas, applications and registry entries for which this free system optimization software can find errors, and you can use it to improve the speed of your system completely free of charge.

Similar software: Crap Cleaner, Tweak Me, Fixbe.

System cleanup with DrivePurge

If you browse through the DrivePurge System Cleanup tab, the first one located in the top left corner, you can see which system locations will be deleted exactly, and choose the ones that you want deleted.

As you can see on the image above, you can select each one of the items in the category individually or you can select the entire category and have everything cleaned. If you’re unsure what to select here, you can go ahead and select everything, at least when it comes to the Windows category, because pretty much everything can be deleted from there. Be careful when it comes to purging Application files, because it’s possible to delete something important from there, deselect the applications that you don’t want cleaned.

Here we have the same cleanup that we had for the system, only here we’re now cleaning the entire hard drive, and as you can see on the right, we’re cleaning old files, backups and temporary files with this option, and you can free up a lot of disk space with this option.

Last cleaning option that DrivePurge offers would be the User Tracks Cleanup where you can delete your computer usage history, from recently opened documents in Windows, to browsed web pages in Internet Explorer.

If your computer is working slow, and if you have problems with disk space shortage, then you should try scanning your computer with DrivePurge and see if that could maybe help you improve your situation a little bit. This cleaner application is free, and since there is no installation you don’t even have to waste your time installing it in order to see how good this free system cleaner is. Be careful when deleting, you don’t want to delete something important, like browser logins, because you will do that with DrivePurge, next to everything else which was said, so give DrivePurge a try and see how it goes.

Free Scientific Calculator for Windows: Tinger Calc

Posted: 22 Jul 2012 09:30 AM PDT

Tinger Calc is a scientific calculator program, which assists in doing complex calculations. It can be used to perform complex trigonometric calculations as well as as some difficult mathematical operations.

The normal available calculators on the Windows Version are limited in their operation. They cannot be used for high level mathematical operations. It's better to use Tinger Talc when performing such calculations.

Features of this Scientific Calculator

Perform complex calculative operations.
Detailed trigonometric and Exponential functions.
Use mathematical constants such as Pi and e.
System functions such as Exit, Print and Quit are incorporated.

Interface and Working of this Scientific Calculator

As expected for Calculator software, the interface remains the same as that of the other calculators.

It's kept very simple and is very easy to use. You can perform trigonometric operations, while the ability to use mathematical constants is also given! Multiplying a number (Squaring, Cubing etc.) n number of times can be done.

The Calculator tool is very powerful in its operation and has a very easy interface. Having said that, I can very easily find the same application buttons in my Windows Calculator and maybe better features too!

Our Verdict

Tinger Calc is a very good Calculating software no doubt, but what is the use of downloading a 4 MB file when I already have something better installed on my PC? The Windows version of the Calculator may appear a little complex, but has a lot of additional features in comparison to Tinger Calc. Especially as more and more PC's are equipped with Windows 7 operating system, onboard Calculator software are much more advanced. I would give the Tinger Calc Calculator Software a Thumbs Up, but would prefer the Windows Calculator any day!

They are added to the diagram with the icons which can be seen in the main toolbar just over the area where diagram is placed. You can select each one of the elements and then the options on the right will become available:

There you can change various settings like the time interval duration or exact moments at which the designated effect will appear on the time diagram.

Time diagrams are used in science where it’s necessary to create trustworthy deployment diagrams of various different aspect of experiments. Certain phenomena occurrence patterns can be easily tracked if you place them all in time diagrams. With the Bus element, which you can see above, the lowest one called newBus, it’s possible to create small blips which could indicate time intervals in which something happened.

Free PC Cleaner for Windows: Weeny Free Cleaner

Posted: 22 Jul 2012 05:00 AM PDT

Weeny Free Cleaner is a free PC cleaner which cleans your windows system, boosts its performance and services the registry. For those who may not know, using a windows system over a period of time depletes its performance. The most common causes of depleted performance include corrupt registry entries, temporary files and system caches.

Weeny Free Cleaner allows you to clean your registry, clear your temporary folder, delete disk and browser history, clear browser cache and cookies.

Installation of this PC Cleaner

The installer is a bit crammed which is suspected was to hide the adware – Babylon Search and Babylon Toolbar. It was however very easy to install. Am not very sure about the safety of the Babylon toolbar as Firefox labelled it as unverified and sought permission to install the toolbar.

Features of PC Cleaner

Getting rid of your computer's history can prove quite challenging but Weeny Free Cleaner manages to do this in a very simple manner.

The Windows registry is often fragmented , contains corrupt registry entries and broken program shortcuts. The registry cleaner allows you perform a set of vital operation to restore your registry to optimum performance. At the click of a mouse, you can clean, repair and delete registry entries. A backup and defragmenting facility is also part of the software unique features.

The disk cleaner utility scans your disk for rarely used files-junk files as the software calls them and offers you the option of permanently deleting them.

Many people are not aware that any file you delete whether permanently or to the recycle bin can be recovered from disk given that they are not overwritten. The file delete utility offers you the convenience of safely deleting files in such a manner that they cannot be recovered.

The system tweak feature on Weeny Free Cleaner allows you to play around with various settings that would not be accessible through windows control panel. I was able to customize several aspects of my windows interface. You can do way with the boring white window background and replace it with a more fancy one, add more desktop icons, tweak the taskbar to your liking and go as far as disabling basic windows command like Run and Search.

The shortcut fixer comes in handy when trying to fix broken system or program shortcuts. It automatically searches for broken shortcuts on selected drives and fixes them.

For your own safety, steer clear of the System tweaking which involve memory management and optimization- you may end up causing a blue screen rather than avoiding it.

How to use this PC Cleaner

I found this PC cleaner software quite easy to use but it does not clearly warn users on the effects of performing various operations like clearing windows temp folder or clearing cookies and cache. The interface is quite simple and well arranged but cannot be viewed in full screen mode or resized. The various features can be accessed by clicking on their respective menu buttons. The buttons at the top of the interface open new windows except for the System Cleaner button. The programs shows a bit of hesitation while opening the new interface but I doubt if that will worry many users.

To use the system cleaner, you have to click on the circles buttons or their corresponding blue rectangular buttons which change their colour to orange when focused. To select any of the processes, make sure that the circular buttons of the respective commands are ticked and are blue in colour. Once you have chosen at least one option click the Clean now button to proceed with the clean up.
