Believe me, this program is really useful to everyone (and those who read me know that I hardly say it), both for those who have little experience and familiarity in the use of the PC, and for the best because it does something really important and comfortable and it does it well. It is a tool for Windows 7 and Windows 10 that allows you to scan your computer for all unwanted programs, toolbars and software that get into your computer behind other installations or that are pre-installed on newly purchased laptops.
I say that it is a nice program because it is easy and works well, without those extreme automatisms and mysterious optimizations that hate the most experienced and without comprehension difficulties.
SlimComputer allows you to identify and remove all unnecessary programs, toolbars, startup items and demo links that consume system resources.

Very often, also in this blog, there are reviews and reports of new free programs for Windows.
When an inexperienced or inattentive person downloads a new free program, he cannot distinguish if it is open source and therefore free or if it is a freeware, that is, developed by a private software company that holds the rights of use and that releases that program. free for personal use.
In the latter case, in 90% of cases, this program is accompanied by other sponsor software, which have nothing to do.
During the installation procedure, therefore, windows appear in which you are asked, often in subtle ways, to install these sponsors.
Those who don't pay attention to these warnings (most people), always click the Next button without reading what is asked and let the installation of these other sponsored software go ahead, finding unknown icons on the computer.
Now these are not viruses but they can be toolbars (like the Yahoo Toolbar or the Ask Toolbar) or other things like shareware programs (i.e. they must be paid if you want to use them without limitations), trials (limited in time) and so Street.
It also often happens to find icons on the desktop that are links to video game web pages, emoticons and betting sites.
This is not a virus but only annoying things that also cause the computer to slow down, because they are set at the start of the PC or remain in the background.
The free SlimCleaner tool (to eliminate unnecessary traces and files) is much better, it allows you to uninstall and remove all the annoying toolbars, the links on the desktop .
Update: The program is available today in a limited free version.
Alternatively, therefore, see other specific articles on how to uninstall the toolbar and on which are the pre-installed and trial programs to be eliminated by also reporting a program called PC Decrapifier .
After installing it (clearly without sponsor tricks or additional things), Slimcleaner opens with a clear interface, with a CPU and memory counter and with just one button to press: " Run Scan ".
The scan goes to check if there are, installed on the computer, toolbars that interfere with the browser (Internet Explorer usually), unwanted or pre-installed applications, unnecessary elements in the computer startup that load automatically, links and links on the desktop to advertising websites .
After the scan, the items found are listed and you can decide to delete them or not according to your judgment.
The best thing is that there is also a rating rating in the form of a green, yellow or red colored bar.
This judgment is given by users who use the program and everyone can give their evaluation of a program, even anonymously, by clicking on the same bar.
After the first scan, you can switch to the other SlimCleaner tools that you see in the menu of the left column:
- If you were wrong or had second thoughts, from the Restore tab you can restore the items removed from the previous scan.
- In the Optimizer tab you can manage the items of Startup items from the automatic start to the start of the computer.
In this case, you have to put the crosses manually, also looking at the rating, that is the judgment given by the others.
The second tab is an optimization of the services which, automatically, sets the selected ones, deemed unnecessary, in manual and no longer automatic aviation.
The third tab is the Restore tab to cancel the changes made and restore all or only part of the previous situation.
- The Uninstaller tab is the program uninstaller.
The nice thing is once again the presence of the rating that indicates if a software is judged to be poor and to be removed or good.
A judgment can be expressed for all unclassified items.
- Windows Tool is instead a screen similar to the Windows Control Panel, with quick links to launch the Windows administration tools.
Slimcleaner is quick to perform every operation and, as mentioned at the beginning, it is an obligatory program for the less experienced and also for the more expert who want to make quick checks, without wasting time.
