This program includes numerous functions to improve the speed, safety, and privacy of your system, but it suffers from a couple of problems. PC Power Suite's multipage icon and menu interface confusingly includes options available only in other versions of the product. A comprehensive manual also includes information on functions not available in this version of the program. On first run, this program slowly backs up your system Registry.

So slowly, in fact, that it never seems to finish. However, clicking the desktop eliminates the frozen backup dialog box. PC Power Suite loads numerous stand-alone functions. With so many options, this program could leave users overwhelmed, but all include easily set options, and most default to start with Windows after first run.

The comprehensive suite includes programs to clean your system and browsers, optimize memory, Windows, or the Registry, search for spyware, back up system files, find duplicate files, or manage icons. Function setups are similar, which helps reduce the learning curve. Most operated well, but this basic suite doesn't attempt any overly robust functions. PC Power Suite certainly attempts to be all things to all users, but it may be a case of too much for the less-experienced user and not enough to differentiate it from other products for the advanced user.
