A Very Useful Tune-Up Utility
SlimCleaner Plus's effective cleaning and community-based monitoring make it a utility to try if you want to turn back the clock on a gunked-up computer. That said, the tune-up utility's system-improving tools aren't quite as thorough as those of Iolo System Mechanic 15.5 (the Editors' Choice for paid tune-up utilities), and its license limitations are a bit outdated in the era of the multi-PC household. SlimCleaner Plus does the job well, but the Iolo is a better all-around option.
Chris Cope: There were a lot of people who needed a solution. If the driver solution worked well when no other products did, we would attract the hardcore PC enthusiast group to use our other utilities as well. We felt that if we gave that user base a platform that they could rate objects on computers, then we could aggregate their feedback pertaining to the objects found on PCs. It was a give and take.
Our hope was to get users to adopt one of our utilities, and then once they have had a positive experience with it, we anticipated that they would want to use our other PC utilities. We have a PC utility to update drivers, a PC utility to clean the PC, and a utility to remove uneeded programs and items. Our utilities are called SlimCleaner, SlimComputer, and SlimDrivers.
Chris Cope: Our utilities are offers as free utilities. Some of our utilities, such as our SlimDrivers utilities, do have a premium upsell version. The primary difference is that the premium versions offer more automated features to make them easier to use. We will always have core offerings that will be free because they allows us to get user traffic as well as relevant data. However, there will always be an end user who does not mind purchasing an application for extra convenience.
Chris Cope: All utilities have a free version. SlimDrivers and SlimUtilities have premium versions in addition to their free versions. We do generate revenue from our driver application and from our optimization suite. We generate more than $5 million in revenue.
If your PC feels a bit sluggish or unresponsive, it could be because there are too many background programs running. Similarly, if you find that your hard drive is running out of space, it's probably full of temporary files left over by applications that are no longer used. System utilities like SlimCleaner from Slimware are designed to rid your computer of these pesky annoyances so it once again runs at full speed.
