Perfect Utilities (i.e. WinUtilities) Free Download (Edited)

Softpedia users can presently get "WinUtilities [GIVEAWAY] 9.79", the full Pro. version. I just used my free Softpedia account and downloaded this, but haven't installed it yet and just read a little about this suite in the forums here.

There are enough users in the forum here basically warning about using this and similar suites and I'm not sure that this suite, including the full version, provides much that I need anyway. I have and use CCleaner and a few disk defraggers that have been recommended in reviews here, as well as Microsoft's or Sysinternal's PageDefrag, which never has any cleaning to do now that I'm using Win XP instead of 2000.

For RAM, memory management, I'll use a tool that's only for this purpose; presently switching to CleanMem. The same is also true, so far anyway, when wanting to scan the Windows registry. I've downloaded registry tools recommended here at Tech Support Alert, but very rarely bother with the registry.

For Internet optimization, which I don't think to have any need to do now that I have hi-speed connection, but if I wanted a tool for this tweaking, then TCP Optimizer seems to be the tool to use.

So although I've downloaded a free copy of WinUtilities Pro, what use can someone who has and uses the above tools (and only recommended and recommendable ones) really make of this suite? Is it better in any way(s)?

The putils.com website link kendall provided on March 11th for "Perfect Utilities" is no longer valid. The link is automatically remapped for the homepage, only. And I tried to do a google of the website to see if google could find another putils.com page for "utilities", but this didn't provide a different result. Google returned two links, one for the home page, the other link for another page, putils.com/content/view/28, and I tried loading the latter page, but it's also auto-remapped to the home page.

So it seems that only the home page is now valid.

And what's on the home page? WinUtilities from YLComputing. It's all putils.com evidently is promoting, now. Actually, what putils.com is promoting is "WinUtilities Suite", which apparently does not even exist. putils.com provides the link to ylcomputing.com, but checking the products at that website does not show WU Suite. The website only shows WU Pro, for WU products, that is.

There's some false promotion in the pcutils.com home page for WU, as well. It shows the Softpedia logo with a 5 of 5 stars rating for WU, but Softpedia's review presently gives 4 of 5, instead. And it's not for WU Suite.

Softpedia presently has a download for "WinUtilities [GIVEAWAY] 9.77", btw.

I checked CNET as well and the staff there have not reviewed WU Pro, but they reviewed the free version of WU and give it 5 of 5 stars, while cnet readers, 127 of the, gave an average of 4 of 5 rating. The editor review, dated Feb. 16th, 2010, doesn't say anything about limitations, or any features being disabled in WU Free Edition though and ylcomputing.com shows a lot that's not available with the free version of WU.

Anyway, Softpedia doesn't list anything for WU Suite and neither does PCMag.com. putils.com shows a PC Mag. Editor's Choice award for WU, so I tried a Google of pcmag.com to try to find out if what putils.com is saying is true and pcmag.com evidently doesn't have any content at all about WU Professional, Pro, or Suite. pcmag.com has content for WU, but not pro or suite, and nothing for WU 9.x, while the current version of WU is 9.77. Google returned several links for pages at pcmag.com for WU 5.x, whateve the ".x" is (I forget now), but that's a long way from 9.77, which is nearly 10.

So pcutils.com is lying, a little anyway.

Why is it trying to access the internet if the auto check for updates is disabled?

Warning .... from version 3.03 this program installs spyware.

Kendall, Your comments are much appreciated. Don't let some of the "whiners" out there stop you from posting. Keep up the good work :)

Love this site and thank you for all the work you do to find programs for everyone. I certainly know that anything I do (to my computer) is my responsibility, not someone else. You, the suggester cannot be blamed for anything that happens to someones computer.
On another note, I've never encountered any problems (from viruses, errors, etc..) from any programs I've downloaded from this site, and I am eternally grateful for the help you've given (and I've even learned a bit).
It's wonderful to be able to find programs that are free and do the same thing or even better than commercial software, but like anything people should go to the software site and read about it first, maybe look for some reviews to make sure this is what they want.
Yes, Perfect Utilities is almost exactly the same as Winutilities except for a few icon (small appearance changes) and using the word "Perfect" instead of "Winutilities". Installed smoothly, did everything it was supposed to without any problems. The registry search was a little slow compared to some programs but I've found that it finds more (accurate) errors than other programs. I shunned away from the duplicate file finder. This one is a keeper.

With much appreciation....Xanonite

Kendall,
Please keep up the good work.
I have found a lot of great free stuff from this site.
Please do not let BAD NUTS run off the squirrel.
Thanks again to all at Gizmos.

I was using WU but quit it when I made a foray into Linux for seven months. Went back to XP and tried Glary Utes, good but just never trusted it fully.
Had a free copy of System Mechanic, but was spammed into submission!

Thanks for pointing out this software, pay $50.00 or get the real deal for Free. That is the question.

Win Utilities has always been my favorite of the choices and this seems to be the same product.

Thanks for the tip

I got this and ran all the programs in it and I notice my computer is about 10% faster than it was before, maybe more faster. Plus you gotta like the price. It also seems to have fixed my Firefox problem, which was Firefox crashing at odd times. Thanks.

I agree with kendall and hope he will continue listing.
If you do not fancy, trust, like the sound of the name etc. do not bother to waste your and the readers'time by posting comments.
If you have used the product and have a genuine evaluation then let us all know so that we can benefit from your experience.

useing vista sp2 64bit. Ran ccleaner first. than tried it,it was very slow finding junk when i used its disk cleaner + it said it found 311 junk files i made the program delete all to recicle bin but only 2 were there...................... Gotta kick this bad habbit. downloadcohlic

I agree with Kendall. He is trying to offer assitance. IF you do not want to try then leave it be. IF you try it and experience problems then post your experience - NOT unsubstantiated opinions.

i agree completely with you Kendall, don't complain, etc, etc. Barry.

I don't trust it.

It'll probably corrput the registry. That what some of these programs do. Especially one's like this that claim to do so much.

Beware!

The process viewer looks interesting, but I'm not quite ready to have Perfect Utilities do any cleanup or whatever else on my normal system just yet.

I'll test it first on a virtual computer.

Thanks for your efforts, Kendall.

Hmmm... their front page claims:

"100% safe and 100% free! The #1 free, powerful and
all-in-one utility in the world market!"

Gotta admire a business than exist in the future and do business in the past.
