Having an antivirus installed on your computer doesn’t ensure full protection against all kinds of threats. Leftovers from uninstalled programs or different types of files can have a significant impact on performance. Luckily, you can perform periodic scans with SeeknClean in order to remove junk files and keep performance at regular capacity.

Remove junk files, and optimize load times

On the bright side of things, the application doesn’t start to scan your computer as soon as it’s launched but gives you the possibility to first take a look over the set of features. Two components are put at your disposal, one of which removes junk files, while the other performs different system tweaks in order to boost overall performance.The cleaner component can be aimed at either a fixed, or removable storage device, but not at more at the same time. The target is selected from a drop-down menu, but you might need to restart the application if you just decided to plug in an external flash drive, or other types of storage device.A second configuration option is the criteria field. By default, all types of junk files are on the list, and you’re able to change this from a drop-down menu. Unfortunately, you’re only able to pick a single criteria, which is rather impractical considering most of them represent file masks. What’s more, you can’t define advanced rules to exclude system directories, or file in a specific time range.

Straightforward optimization process

Scanning can take some time, but this only depends on the complexity, and severity status of your PC. The total size which can be recovered, and a number of junk files updates in real time, with all detected items show in a list.The second component is the optimizer. You need to trust in the application’s capabilities when using it, since it only shows what you accomplish in the end, such as faster load times, browsing speed, or lower switch time, but without more details, or possibility to select any kind of tweaks to handle in particular.

A few last words

To sum it up, SeeknClean is sure to at least find and remove files which should no longer be on your computer. However, the approach on the entire operation is pretty straightforward, with little to no sense of control over scanning, cleaning, and not to mention optimization.
