Glary Utilities is set of tools that can be used to clean and optimize Windows. The free version of the software program comes with a 1-click maintenance mode that can be used to fix system problems with minimal interaction. It consists of a Registry cleaner, shortcuts fixer, startup manager, temporary files cleaner, track eraser and spyware remover.
Besides that quick maintenance mode it also comes with lots of additional modules that are divided up into the five categories Clean Up & Repair, Optimize & Improve, Privacy & Security, Files & Folders and System Tools. All of them with three to four modules that start various tools to maintain the operating system.
The Privacy & Security category for example contains a Tracks Eraser, File Shredder, File Undelete and File Encryption / Decryption tool. Having said that it should be obvious that the software combines the features of various popular utilities in one application. While it can replace many applications it does not come close to some of the top applications in their fields. Taking Eraser for example. Eraser lets users deleted unused hard drive space so that the data cannot be recovered anymore. Glary Utilities on the other hand can only delete files so that they cannot be restored anymore.
Glary Utilities provides many tools that can be used for system maintenance. It provides access to the tools in a clean interface and could be worthwhile to test for users who love all in one tools instead of specialized tools.

Do you think this can beat Tune Up?
Got the Pro version free on Giveaway of the Day a while back. Works like a charm! I’d recommend it for those who like to use all-in-ones, like Martin said.
There will always problems involved in using these optimizers specially registry cleaners are included in them, deleting registry keys can cause problems without knowledge of user ,I use ccleaner but I don’t use registry cleaner in ccleaner.
One of the interesting things to note is that it has batch uninstall which makes uninstalling programs less of a chore.

I noticed that when trying to uninstall multiple programs with this tool it is leaving traces of programs on hard disk. Glary utilities is not able to effectively remove programs.
