Schedule automatic cleaning

We recommend cleaning your system at least monthly to get rid of old and unnecessary junk files and apps you never wanted that are taking up space and cluttering your hard drive.

This Windows cleaner tool also comes with a Data Shredder.

Shred files completely

Our advanced file-shredding feature goes beyond simply deleting files to make recovering the data virtually impossible.

FAQs

Are PC optimizers safe?

Computer maintenance software is safe if you download it from a trusted source. Don’t fall for shady scareware schemes from fake sources that offer free PC optimizer tools—they might claim your device needs work, only to lure you in and infect your machine with malware.

Does Windows have a built-in optimizer?

Windows does include Microsoft Drive Optimizer (formerly Disk Defragmenter), a tool that defrags and optimizes disk drives. But a dedicated optimization tool like Norton Utilities Ultimate will do a lot more than just keep your drives tidy—it’ll clear out junk, clean up browsing data, turn off demanding processes, and uninstall programs you no longer need for smoother performance overall.

What are the signs of poor PC performance?

If your computer is sluggish, freezing, or crashing, that means it’s time to clean it up. Don’t just wait and do it once a year. Regular computer maintenance is key to optimal PC performance—it could even bring your computer back from the dead.
