Curing the PC does not mean unfortunately fixing a broken computer but, at least, making sure that the system does not suffer from frequent errors, security holes and that the programs run smoothly, without slowdowns and unmotivated loads. We have seen a lot of free tools to keep your computer in shape and the best ones are free programs to optimize the PC such as Ccleaner, Glary Utilities and IOBit Advanced System Care and paid software such as System Mechanic and TuneUP.
In this article I recommend trying the Kingsoft PC Doctor tool, a program that proposes itself as a doctor of the computer to cure real or presumed problems detected on the Windows system.
Kingsoft PC Doctor is a program that includes computer security tools and maintenance tools with automatic optimization .
It cannot be said that Kingsoft PC Doctor is an automatic tool to be run and trusted with your eyes closed.
This excellent tool in fact makes potential detections in the sense that it detects suspicious problems and it is up to the user to identify if these are false positives or if they are indeed anomalies.
When you run Kingsoft PC Doctor for the first time, it immediately begins a scan for vulnerabilities on the system and a report is presented in which, in addition to the description, the name of the missing patches and the Microsoft release date are also indicated, with the I recommend to download and install them immediately.
Already after this first step, the computer will be updated and more secure.
On the main program window there are 4 sections at the top: Security, Optimizer, Cleaner and Utilities .
In the security section you can do a quick check to find potential trojans on your computer, to find suspicious plugins on Internet Explorer, the System Repair to restore anomalies caused by viruses and correct system errors (such as changing the homepage in Internet Explorer ), and Vul Fix which is the security patch section.
The security section is perhaps the most useful of this PC Doctor, especially regarding the IE plugins that often hide real viruses.
The anti Trojan is a scanner that can coexist with the installed antivirus and cure the computer from anomalies using KingSoft's online antivirus.
Under Optimizer you can make a One Click optimization which basically checks the obsolete files, processes and services, advising the user to disable some services not necessary for the use that is made of Windows.
In this case, always after checking the various recommendations, you can start the optimization and get a lighter computer.
The Startup optimizer of the computer could not be missing, that is, the programs that start themselves on Windows boot.
The ability to see all the scheduled activities, both those added manually and those automatically installed by the various programs (for example, Google update) is a nice feature for this Doctor of the PC.
Cleaner tools are the usual system cleaners I've recently talked about about the best alternatives to Ccleaner.
The browser cache, history, cookies, temporary folders, recent history of the media player and use of other software can be removed.
It is also possible to remove invalid registry entries, orphaned DLL entries, incomplete file associations and other things.
The " Large Files " function is very useful for finding the largest files on the computer and possibly deciding to delete them to regain disk space.
Even the part related to OS Thinner is quite original as it controls the space occupied by those folders created by the Windows installation such as "Sample Video", "Sample Music" and the backup of the installation files, which, if necessary, can be to delete.
The Utilities section has two additional tools:
- Network traffic monitor to see which programs and processes use the internet connection the most.
- The System Booster which optimizes the use of RAM and allows the computer to recover memory.
PC Doctor remains running on the computer and it is noticed because, in the lower right corner, a small box appears with the percentages of CPU, memory and network usage.
After using PC Doctor and after "Curing" the computer, you can still exit the program to use it periodically to do a weekly check.
In this case, you must remove the option to automatically start PC Doctor when the computer is turned on.
This Kingsoft PC Doctor, which might seem like the usual Windows tool like a thousand others, was truly a revelation, a program definitely worth trying and keeping tight, especially because it is free and of great quality, with many useful tools that other similar tools don't have .
The download of Kingsoft PC Doctor is free and complete, without limitations, for Windows XP (32bit), Vista and Windows 7 (32 / 64bit) (the development of this program is no longer there, so while it is still fine for Windows 7, it is not convenient to use it in Windows 10).
