Happy holidays!

Today we are very happy to inform you that we’ve released a new version of Auslogics BoostSpeed. We’ve made it more efficient, more stable, it now looks better, and has a lot of exciting new features.

BoostSpeed 4.5 includes a brand new utility – Auslogics Duplicate File Finder. With the help of this tool Windows users will be able to recover gigabytes of space taken up by unnecessary duplicates. Apart from using up hard disk space, having too many duplicate files can make computers run slower. Deleting them will help speed up disk defragmentation, Windows search, and anti-virus scans.

BoostSpeed 4.5 also includes the latest version of a popular and award-winning Auslogics Disk Defrag, which has a lot to offer. Users can now brighten up disk defragmentation by applying different defragmentation map colour themes. In addition to that, the program can auto defrag disks in the background, can be integrated into Windows Explorer, minimized into system tray, and defragment all disks at once.

Apart from that, the new version of Auslogics BoostSpeed has a significantly improved interface, works faster, repairs more errors, and has a lot of great new tweaks and advanced options. All this ensures that both novice and experienced users are comfortable when using it.

BoostSpeed is not just an optimizer – it’s a complete system maintenance tool. It will ensure your computer is fast and optimized for best performance, protect your privacy by erasing traces of Internet activity, wiping free disk space, and erasing files beyond restoration. It will also advise you on which Windows services are safe to disable and will let you easily apply dozens of useful tweaks that will make your computing experience more productive and enjoyable.

The full version costs $39.95 USD.  Auslogics BoostSpeed 4.5 supports Windows 7/Vista/2008/XP/2003, 32-bit and 64-bit and dual-core CPU.

Sydney, Australia – January 31, 2009 – Auslogics Software announces that its computer optimization product Auslogics BoostSpeed now fully supports and optimizes the new operating system Microsoft Windows 7 (Beta).

While Windows 7 is faster than Vista, it still requires an ongoing maintenance, such as disk and registry clean-ups and defragmentation, to keep running fast and stable. Without frequent disk and registry clean-ups junk files start taking up disk space and registry errors compromise system stability. Auslogics BoostSpeed removes junk files and fixes registry errors, as well as defragments both hard disk drives and the system registry, placing the file fragments together for faster disk access.

Apart from fully supporting Windows 7, BoostSpeed 4.3 now supports the new Google Chrome browser, Internet Explorer 8 (Beta), FireFox 3, Opera, and Safari for Windows. Unlike other similar software, BoostSpeed checks hardware and Internet Connection specifications first and then applies changes tailored to the particular computer configuration.

The new version also introduces Service Manager. It’s a new tool from Auslogics that makes managing Windows services safe and easy even for novice users. This new utility contains services descriptions and rating, and most importantly, detailed recommendations written in plain English. Now there will be no need to spend hours researching what each service does.

Another welcome change is that Auslogics’ Disk Defrag, believed to be the fastest defragmenter on the market, can now be run from console with command line parameters, can defragment single file or folder, and can be scheduled to run unattended.

Everybody knows what hacker attacks are and that they can cause a lot of harm. So, naturally, the best thing is to avoid being attacked, know how to detect an attack right away and act immediately. Unfortunately, hacker attacks can be pretty hard to detect, especially if you are a novice user. Here are a few tips to help you:

1. Suspiciously high outgoing traffic for dial-up and ADSL is the first thing that should attract your attention, especially if you’re not uploading anything at the time. So, if you notice that your outgoing traffic is all of a sudden unusually high, it could mean that your computer has been compromised and used either to send spam or viruses to all your contacts.  Cable users, don’t fret – with cable it is quite normal to have the same amount of outgoing and incoming traffic.
2. Look out for strange looking files in the root directories of your drives and/or too much disk activity. Usually hackers run a thorough scan of your system after they’ve successfully hacked into it. They do it to steal your personal information – like passwords, credit card details, PayPal account details etc. So, increased disk activity and suspicious files might be an indication that your system has either been hacked or is infected with malware.
3. If your personal firewall is reporting blocking large packets of data from the same IP address, that could mean that someone is probing your defences and is trying to break in. The good thing about it all is that if your firewall is blocking the attacks, then it most likely will continue doing so. Remember – having a personal firewall is essential if you want to keep your computer away from harm.
4. A lot of hackers still rely on trojans and backdoors. So, if your anti-virus software starts finding a lot of those, try increasing protection, use an Internet Security suite instead of a basic anti-virus.
5. If you are an Auslogics BoostSpeed user, keep the PC Security option switched on. By doing this you will ensure that services that allow your computer to be accessed remotely are switched off. Naturally, these services aren’t there to help hackers, but hackers use them quite frequently nevertheless.

Sydney, Australia – October 30, 2008 – Auslogics releases a new version of its award-winning computer optimization suite, BoostSpeed 4.2™. This premium quality package is designed to tune-up a system to its peak performance and keep it in perfect condition. Auslogics BoostSpeed provides comprehensive system maintenance and has an intuitive interface. It combines various optimization and security utilities that can speed up  even a fast new computer and protect your privacy.

What’s New

BoostSpeed 4.2 is the first optimization software that fully supports the new Google Chrome browser, as well as Internet Explorer 8, Firefox 3, Opera, and Safari for Windows. Unlike other similar programs, BoostSpeed checks hardware and Internet connection specifications first and then applies tailor-made changes.

It’s not a secret that most users don’t need all Windows services that are enabled by default. Many people have no idea which service does what. Some services can slow down a computer a lot and are safe to turn off, but how to find out which ones are vital and which ones can be disabled? Auslogics’ developers came up with an effective solution.

The new version of Auslogics BoostSpeed introduces Service Manager. It’s a new tool from Auslogics that makes managing Windows services safe and easy even for novice users. This new utility contains services description and rating, as well as detailed recommendations written in plain English. Now there will be no need to spend hours researching what each service does.

Disk Defrag and Registry Defrag

Great news for BoostSpeed 4.2 users is that it includes the latest versions of Auslogics’ top rated and extremely popular Disk Defrag and Registry Defrag.

The new version of Auslogics Disk Defrag has a lot to offer. First of all, a console utility has been added, which makes it possible to defragment disks from the command line. This neat feature is especially handy for companies, because now they will be able to remotely defragment their servers and workstations. In fact, it is now possible to schedule defrags to run on a regular basis, for example weekly, and leave it all to Disk Defrag. Heavily fragmented server files can drastically decrease server and workstation performance, therefore it is vital to defragment them regularly.

As for Auslogics Registry Defrag, it is now the safest Registry defragmenter out there, because it defragments the Registry on computer reboot, before all other applications load. Another great improvement is that now it doesn’t lock the system to defrag.

Auslogics Registry Defrag works properly on 64-bit Windows XP and Vista systems. Where other similar programs give wrong numbers and can potentially cause system problems, Auslogics Registry Defrag is even more stable and reliable than before. Also now the Registry analysis is five times faster. That makes Registry Defrag the fastest Registry defragmenter on the market.

The Effect

Sometimes the effect of optimization software is hard to notice. But BoostSpeed can make some things, like Internet browsing speed, up to 300% faster, and boost overall performance by 30-50%.

About the Program

The program runs on Windows Vista, XP, 2000, and 2003. It properly supports both 32-bit and 64-bit processors, while a lot of similar programs are having trouble with 64-bit Windows. BoostSpeed has a 15-day free trial period and the full unrestricted version costs only USD$29.95. Auslogics is always confident in the performance of the software and therefore offers a money back guarantee.

Sydney, Australia – September 4, 2008 – Auslogics says it will fully support the new web browser Google Chrome poised to become a powerful Internet Explorer rival.

The users of Auslogics BoostSpeed may be the first to experience the full Google Chrome support. This computer performance optimization software will protect the privacy of Google Chrome users, as well as optimize the new browser speed, all by the end of September 2008.

According to Google, the new browser can add value for users while driving innovation on the web.  However, many believe that this is the company’s next step towards dominating the Internet and that it will place Google directly against Microsoft.

Auslogics believes that web applications have long outgrown browser technology, which has stood still for quite a few years. The company says that it will provide full browser support and help make Google Chrome run as fast as possible.

The current version of Auslogics BoostSpeed can remove history and other personal data from Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer browsers and optimize their settings for maximum performance.

The program can modify various network settings, for example the number of simultaneous web browser connections to the Internet, so that the one-size-fit-all settings of the web browser and Windows operating system are istead optimized for the specific hardware and Internet connection. The new version coming out in September, 2008, will include support for Google Chrome, Internet Explorer 8 and Safari for Windows – another web browser with the growing number of users.
