It's a sad fact of life that the lightning-fast computer you bought recently will slow down. But the fact that things are feeling more sluggish than they used to does not mean that you need to rush out and buy a new computer, or even upgrade your hardware – a little software-driven optimization may be all you need.

With the newly launched BoostSpeed 12 and Defrag 10, you have everything you need to give your computer the injection of speed it needs. Both have a great range of new feature and options that will prove tempting to existing users and new ones alike.

In BoostSpeed 12, there are two mode to work in – basic and advanced. This opens up the software to all levels of ability and experience. Users who are not overly confident can stick with the single-click scan and repair option, while anyone who wants to get more hands-on can switch to Advanced more to gain greater control.

There are new defragmentation algorithms to optimize both SSDs and traditional hard drives, and the registry cleaner has been dramatically improved for even better results. If you're looking to tiddy up Windows aesthetically, the new Menu Manager helps you to remove unwanted context menu entries, while the Add-ons Manager give you control of browser and app add-ons. Finally, there's a new Compact OS feature which helps you to reduce the size of your Windows installation to free up disk space.

On top of this, upgrading to the Pro version also lets you wipe the free space on your drives and to schedule automatic updates.
