The Pro version of the package is regularly priced at $39.95, but at the moment it can be purchased 30% cheaper, at $27.97.

Despite the huge number of modules it comes with, the suite take little time to install on the system. Its modular architecture makes overall handling an easy task. All the tools are grouped into several modules, each fulfilling its specific purpose: cleaning the system of useless files, correcting errors, improving overall performance, securing your privacy, handling files and folders or accessing system tools, both of its own as well as those built into Windows.

Clean Up & Repair module consists of a disk and registry cleaning utilities, a shortcut fixer and an uninstaller. Each of them is very simple in structure and you won’t have any trouble handling them. Worth noting is the fact that the instruments carry their own configuration panel.

The junk file cleaner is pre-configured with a set of file types it should detect as useless, but you can add your own formats as well. Scans are thorough and check every nook and cranny of the selected drive. Inclusion and exclusion lists can be created so that it omits certain locations or empties specific folders of content.

As any PC maintenance suite, Glary Utilities is equipped with a registry cleaner ready to eliminate useless entries. It goes through the entire registry quite fast and it offers the possibility to check the results of its findings. Moreover, it also provides the reason it picked up the entries and, in case of a false positives it lets you correct the problem by instructing it to leave the entry untouched or mark it for exclusion from future scans.

If you have any broken shortcuts on the computer, Glary Utilities has a fix for you. It can detect invalid shortcuts in any location of your hard disk(s) and delete them for you. However, we noticed that in some cases it tends to overdo its job and it might pick entire folders for deletion. In our case it wiped folders belonging to a portable version of Google Chrome, so it is advised to check the items it reports as invalid.

On the upside, the data is sent to Recycle Bin, so you can restore it if needed. As an additional measure of precaution Glary utilities creates a backup of the deleted data, which can be restored at any time.

Last in the Clean Up & Repair module is the uninstall manager. It has few impressive features, as it runs the removal procedure by executing the command line of the targeted program. There is no hunt for left-overs afterwards, the registry cleaner partially covers this. On the bright side, it lets you uninstall multiple programs at once, through its batch uninstall function and it can fix invalid entries for you.
