Amigabit Powerbooster

Amigabit Powerbooster promises to optimize your computer´s performance. Just like other similar products, this one scans the registry to find defective keys.

Moreover, it helps you find duplicate files, manage startup entries, back up drivers and uninstall software, among other tasks.

The program’s interface certainly could not be made any simpler, as you are welcomed by a big green button that triggers an all-in-one package of optimization features. Thus, without much intervention on the part of the user, it cleans junk files, fixes registry errors, deletes invalid shortcuts, optimizes your system (including network connections) and sweeps any trace that may compromise your privacy.

The second tab holds a set of tools that you can use to perform specific functions. These tools are classified according to their importance and frequency of use. Among the most important or frequently used, you can find those described in the paragraph above. Then, there is another group of tools classified as important but seldom used, which includes Disk Defragment, Cloned File Finder, Registry Defragment, Disk Check and Context Menu Fixer. Then, there are some others that people use quite frequently but are not so important, such is the case of Shutdown Scheduler, Shortcut Cleaner and Memory Manager. Finally, the developers have added a category to put those tools they consider unimportant and only occasionally used. These are File Encryption, File Shredder, File Splitter, Empty Folder Finder, Top File Finder and Unlocker.

You may think that this product is probably one of the best of its kind, judging from the number of available features; however, the truth is that their beneficial effects can be questioned. Just to provide an example: the disk defragmenter may claim to have decluttered your drives; yet, if you analyze them with other similar tools, you find that the problems persist. Likewise, it refuses to stop a scan no matter how much you click on the corresponding button.

All in all, Amigabit Powerbooster is a versatile set of tools, which, unfortunately, offers uncertain benefits to your system. Some of the product’s features can be used freely, but there are others that are marked Pro and can only be used after purchasing the full license.
