Norton Utilities Ultimate
Keep your PC running like new
Revitalize your Windows PC performance and organize your cloud storage with our cleaner and optimizer. Enjoy a faster and more reliable computer today.
Processes
Turn off programs that run automatically in the background to stop them from slowing down your PC at startup and impacting the speed and performance of your daily tasks.
System junk
Over time, your Windows system and apps generate obsolete files that steal your disk space. You can get rid of this system junk and even pesky leftover files that remain after you uninstall an app.
Uninstaller
Identify unnecessary and unwanted software clogging up your Windows PC that you can easily uninstall to enjoy more space for the applications you actually use.
Cloud cleaner
Make the most of your Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive cloud storage. Review and remove duplicate, large, and old files.
Automatic cleaning
Schedule regular Windows PC cleaning to automatically remove system junk and browser data. Set it up once, then relax knowing that we’ve got you covered, keeping your PC tidy.
Browser data
Your browser keeps records of where you go and what you do online. By cleaning your browser data, you make it harder for others to track your online activity.
Data recovery
Find deleted files and try recovering them before they are overwritten. Data Recovery enables you to recover deleted files and data lost from hard drives, USB drives, and memory cards.
Data shredder
Going beyond standard methods of simply deleting files, Data Shredder uses advanced techniques that overwrite the actual data, making it virtually impossible to recover.
Screens are simulated and subject to change.
Free up storage space with superior cleaning.
Reclaim valuable space on your Windows PC and in the cloud. Delete unnecessary files, remove unused apps, and organize your cloud storage for a clutter-free digital life.
Increase the speed and performance of your Windows PC
Bloatware and needless applications running in the background can slow down your PC’s performance. Keep your computer running at its best by reducing background app activity, uninstalling programs you no longer need, and fixing common problems with your hard drive, software, and system.
Keep your Windows PC healthy and performing at its best for longer
Computers lose performance over time unless they're maintained. Automated PC cleaning and optimization tasks help keep your computer running at peak efficiency and stay healthy and better performing for longer.
Norton Utilities Ultimate includes a Data Shredder feature that uses advanced deletion techniques to overwrite the actual data, making it virtually impossible to recover. To permanently delete sensitive files, click on Data Shredder in the left navigation and choose files, folders or entire drives you want to irreversibly erase. In the settings, you can also select shredding priority and algorithm. Please note that data deleted by Norton Utilities Ultimate's Data Shredder cannot be recovered by the Data Recovery feature.
The Data Recovery feature included in Norton Utilities Ultimate helps you find and retrieve lost, damaged, or corrupted data from hard drives, USB drives, and memory cards. It allows you to scan the storage device, determine the extent of damage and the likelihood of data recovery, and recover the lost data if possible. Files that are deleted using Norton Utilities Ultimate’s Data Shredder tool are not recoverable.
Norton Utilities Ultimate takes the guess work out with tools to make maintaining your PC simple. Its comprehensive toolbox and easy to use interface, helps you keep your Windows PC in optimal performance.
PC cleaners like Norton Utilities Ultimate target and remove old browsing data, junk files, leftover files, and other digital clutter that accumulates when using a computer. Clearing out these files can help improve system performance.
Norton Utilities Ultimate takes this one step further by providing a comprehensive set of tools that help speed up your computer and fix registry issues.
