Information from every website you visit is stored on your computer and recorded in hidden Windows® locations including temporary files, cookies, system registry and the index.dat file.

It also frees valuable hard drive space and speeds up system performance by cleaning old and unused temporary records. It allows you to simply and securely erase sensitive files from Windows®, Microsoft Office, Netscape, Windows® Media Player and Internet Explorer.

Desktop Maestro provides optimization and performance features that allow you to actively monitor system usage, processes, CPU, memory and disk space. The registry compacting feature analyzes, rebuilds and compacts the Windows® Registry by removing registry gaps and free space, and corrupt keys thereby making your PC start-up quicker and with more available memory. The system optimization function applies a set of tweaks and patches directly onto your PC that are designed to improve system performance and usability.
