that are submitted both in-app and online. Ratings are supplied by a wide demographic of users,
including both everyday PC owners with no advanced computing skills and technical experts.
How do I know the reviews SlimCleaner+ provides are accurate?
To produce the most accurate ratings and optimization suggestions, we implement layers of checks. In

Dashboard



The dashboard is the panel you see when you first launch SlimCleaner+. It is the central hub from
which you can monitor your systems overall status and assess the health and security of your
machine. You can also make a few quick changes here and initialize some of the powerful utilities
included in SlimCleaner+.
Status
On the Status Dashboard, you will first notice the status indicator and a set of gauges. These
give you a brief glimpse of the current condition of your computer.
The status indicators give you heads up display of the overall status of your system.

Status is good system has been cleaned and optimized.

Status is medium generally healthy, but some parts of your system
have not been cleaned or optimized in a relative period of time.

Status is low your security profile is intact, but there are still issues
and un-optimized settings that can slow down performance.

Status is poor your computer has active issues that could pose a
threat to system efficiency or security.

Unknown / In Process the status of your computer is unknown
because no scan has been run yet, or a scan is currently running.
The gauge gives you a more specific heads up display, listing the status of your computer in
terms of its overall health and security.

The HEALTH gauge reports the amount of junk or extraneous data found on your computer. This
measure represents the amount of stuff on the system that is known to diminish efficiency.
The SECURITY gauge reports the status of your security profile, whether or not you have security
software installed and the status of built-in defense settings in Windows.

One Click Scan
The One Click Scan is the most powerful utility in SlimCleaner+. The One Click Scan runs a deep scan
of your computer that incorporates all of the utilities within SlimCleaner+. It generates a report that lists
all of the optimizations that you can enact to enhance the performance, stability and security of your
computer.
The scan includes junk files, system optimizations, software updates, browser add-ons, software
updates, registry issues and security settings. To begin the scan, click the One Click Scan button.

(To configure scan settings, click the gear icon in the button.)
You can configure custom search parameters for each of these categories in the 1-Click Scan dialog.
To access it, click 1-Click Scan in the left navbar.
Here you can disable scanning for a specific category outright by un-checking the box next to the listed
entry.

Scan Settings
You can fine-tune the settings for the One Click Scan in this form.

Click on each tab of the Scan Settings form to display the sub-categories within each view and you can
check/uncheck the options that you wish to enable/disable scanning for.
OTHERS TAB
In the Others tab, you can specify special categories you want to assess, including software updates,
system optimizations, and browser add-ons. These are user-selected entities and so SlimCleaner+ lets
you customize the amount of information that you want cleaned.

The One Click Scan will display results based on the threshold that the user selects in this form. By
default, the program will search for a mid-range level of updates and optimizations. Increasing the
threshold will display the maximum number of available updates and optimizations, while decreasing it
will reduce the number of results. Select the scanning threshold based on your preference.

Results
After the scan finishes, you can fix all items found by clicking the Fix Selected button. If you want to
view the results before SlimCleaner Plus fixes them, you can click on View Details next to the scanning
category for a detailed list of the scans results.

Scan results are divided into different tabs that categorize the scanning section that the result was
found under. You can navigate between results for different scan sections by clicking on the tab for that
section. Tabs that are opaque, or greyed out, either were not selected for scanning, or did not produce
any results.

In some scan categories, namely the Junk, Privacy, Registry, and Browsers categories, you can get an
even further detailed analysis of the results by double-clicking on the result category row to view the
sub-results for that scan section category. For example, you can get a good look at the Privacy items
that SlimCleaner Plus picks up by viewing the results in the Privacy tab of the One Click Scan results
overview and then double-clicking one of the rows in the Privacy results panel.
Once youve finished reviewing the results and youre ready to fix the selected items, click the Fix
Remaining Items button in the Scan Results Overview window.

cleaner, designed to quickly and easily recover large amounts of disk space and also increase system
performance by cleaning up working space used by the operating system. It can be set to delete . . .

and run independently from the One Click Scan for more detailed customizations.
Customizing the Cleaner
Configuring scan settings for the cleaner is just like configuring scan settings for the One Click Scan.

Disk Wiper
This tool is designed for to completely and thoroughly remove all the data on a disk, while securing it
against recovery by overwriting it with bytes of data. The user may opt to overwrite the disk multiple
times for greater security against any possibility of recovering the old data.
1. To wipe data on a hard disk, select it from the list of available drives by checking the box next to
the entry.
2. Then, select from the drop-down menu the number of times you wish for the drive to be
overwritten.
3. Finally, select from the drop-down menu whether you wish to overwrite only free space, or the
entire drive.
WIPING FREE SPACE IN A DRIVE
Wiping free space will not compromise your data. It will force the disk wiper to only overwrite disk space
for which there is no data presently. This is a good option if you just want to make old data
unrecoverable.
WIPING A DRIVE
For a more thorough cleaning, you can opt to overwrite an entire drive. To prevent damage to the
system, the Disk Wiper will not allow you to wipe the system drive (the partition of your hard drive that
holds the operating system), only the free space. It will let you wipe non-system drives, including
external hard-drives and portable media, such as flash drives.

Defragger
The Defragger is an advanced hard disk defragmentation utility designed to reorganize data clusters in
the most efficient way possible.
The Defragger improves disk performance by consolidating relative data clusters in proximity to one
another in order to decrease disk read and write times. This results in an overall improved hard disk.

Duplicate File Finder
The Duplicate File Finder enables the user to scan the computer for duplicate files for the purpose of
deleting potentially unnecessary copies in order to reclaim valuable disk space.
You can search for duplicate files by either drive or by folder(s). Select which scope to set the file finder
to by clicking on either the Drives or Folders radio button. The form below will reflect the options
available to you.
Searching by folders enables you to add specific folders to scan for duplicate files.
Searching by drives enables you to scan the entire drive for duplicate files.


For this example, select the drive(s) you wish to scan and then click Next.

Scanning by drives may be further configured in the next form. There are 3 scanning modes . . .
Easy Scan is the slowest, but detects duplicates with the greatest accuracy. It assesses each file in
the computer by its unique makeup. This option finds true duplicates no matter how theyre labeled.
Moderate scan is faster, but not as detailed as Easy Scan. It takes the way files are labeled into
consideration to help isolate duplicates more quickly.
Quick Scan is the fastest, but is the least detailed. It takes only the files labels and relative sizes into
consideration. It does not assess the internal makeup of a file.
SlimWare Utilities Back to Top
22
After selecting a mode for file comparison, you can specify additional parameters to your search, such
as
Ignoring files in a certain size range (in megabytes)
Searching for all or only a certain set of file types
Excluding certain locations from the scan.
By default, system files and program files are excluded from the scan to prevent deletion of system
critical files.
Once you have made all of your configurations to the search parameters, click Next to begin the scan.
Alternatively, you can click Back to cancel and start over.
In the final dialog of the Duplicate File Finder, simply compare the duplicates found. With an up-front
readout of the file data, including its location, creation date and date it was modified, you can selectively
delete duplicates by putting a check in the box beside them and clicking Delete Checked.

You can sort the results using different filters for easier viewing. Click the Sort By drop-down menu to
change how duplicates are displayed in the results.
