Although not strictly necessary, it is recommended that you uninstall the old version of the program before installing the new version. Follow these steps to uninstall the previous version:

1. Click the 'Start' button (that can be found on bottom left corner of your monitor), click 'Control Panel', and then double-click 'Add or Remove Programs' (or 'Uninstall a program' in Vista).
2. When you see a window showing the list of currently installed programs, select by clicking on the program that you want to remove, and then click Remove or Uninstall.
3. If you are prompted to confirm the removal of the program, click 'Yes'.

Note: if you're trying to uninstall BoostSpeed when it is already running, you need to first close it by locating the BoostSpeed icon (blue globe) in the bottom tray area, which is where Windows displays its clock (by default, it is usually located at the bottom right corner). Right-click on this icon with your mouse and choose to exit. Then proceed with the three steps above.

Each page in Tweak Manager has a tweak rating. Numbers from 1 to 3 specify how much effect the tweaks on this page have on your computer. If only 1 is highlighted, then the tweak has little effect on the performance. If 1, 2 and 3 are highlighted, the tweaks on this page are most powerful. Green tick means that the tweak can be used by a novice user and a red sign means that only experienced users should modify tweaks on this page.

Some programs on the Internet, such as registry cleaners or disk cleaners try to find as many problems in a computer as possible, trying to impress the user. However, this is not always safe, as removing some of the problems will make the computer unstable. Therefore, BoostSpeed does not follow this trend, and only cleans green (safe) items by default. Novice users should only clean these items. Experienced users, who know more about Windows file system and the Registry can also choose to scan orange and red categories.

A Windows service is a long-running program that performs specific functions and which is designed not to require user intervention. Usually, Windows services start when the Microsoft Windows operating system is booted and run in the background as long as Windows is running.

Once a service is installed, it can be managed by launching Services from the Windows Control Panel => Administrative Tools or typing Services.msc in the Run command on Start menu. Note that disabling services is dangerous and can reduce the functionality of your computer.

Auslogics will add a new optimization wizard and a simplified service manager into its BoostSpeed suite to help you disable the services that your computer does not need and leave the important services running.

Windows XP and newer versions include some services that can be the cause of attacks on your computer. They are called Remote Registry and Messaging Service. PCSecurity disables these services, thus protecting your computer from those particular types of attacks.

These services are rarely used. Disabling them won't cause any system malfunctions. Moreover, whenever you need to use these services again, you can disable security either straight from the program or via Rescue Center.

Please note that disabling these services doesn't cause any connection problems, affects neither Internet speed, nor any other system functions.

Each service uses computer resources - memory, CPU, or hard disk(s). We have tried to estimate how resource-heavy is each service and created Perfomace Impact reference to help you establish which services are the most resource-heavy and whether you need them for your everyday computer activities or not.
