    yes I have. Was just easier to list everything that came in the boostspeed package although I do use Ccleaner for a second opinion.

    I'm the opinion that proper maintenance actually involves NOT optimizing, cleaning the registry, tweaking, etc. - less is more and all that. Or in other words: if it ain't broken, you haven't tweaked it enough.
    The only maintenance program that I use is Puran Defrag Free once a couple of weeks. It's surprising how a working common sense and brain cells can keep a system running smoothly without additional "maintenance" software.

    Disk Cleaning: CCLeaner for the convenience of it.

    Disk Defragmentation: Win7's built-in. Have never seen a benefit from others.

    Registry Cleaning: Never touch it. Later versions of windows have no issue with the registry, in my opinion, and there's little to gain by mucking around in it.

    Registry Defragmentation: Same as above. No benefit.

    Secure Erasing: Not a concern.

    Other System Maintenance software: None.

    A1 Click Ultra Cleaner and RegVac (both from www.superwin.com).

    PC Pitstop Optimise 3, which sometimes picks up that I need to change the TCP/IP settings by rebooting.

    Registry backup daily from WinRescueXP (also from www.superwin.com) with say a weekly Regpack from that program to remove redundant registry entries and realign the entries.

    Hope this helps!

    -This Thread is Not for the Criticizers of Hard Disk/Registry Cleaning/Defragmentation etc.
    -This Thread is for the ones who use System Maintenance software and believe in the use of it!

    If you don't use any System Maintenance software,
    then, PLEASE, do Not add Irrelevant posts boasting about
    'How Unnecessary Hard Disk/Registry Cleaning/Defragmentation is' etc.

    We are aware of these claims...
    However, we continue to use System Maintenance software,
    because we see some system improvement and problem resolution!

    Let's Not turn this Thread into a battle-field...
