all-in-one system utility Wise Care 365 (Free Version) is an all-in-one system utility that checks your computer for common junk files, invalid registry entries and potential performance tweaks.

Other features include registry defrag, secure file deletion, a startup manager, system optimization tweaks, disk defrag, automatic registry backup and an option to schedule automatic scanning and cleaning. The free version does not include the additional "Privacy Eraser" features.
