29. Tune-Up
Bitdefender comes with a Tune-Up module that helps you maintain the integrity of
your system. The maintenance tools offered are critical for the improvement of your
system's responsiveness and the efficient management of the hard drive space.
Bitdefender provides the following PC tune-up tools:
● PC Clean-Up removes the temporary Internet files and cookies, unused system
files and recent documents shortcuts.
● Disk Defragmenter physically reorganizes the data on the hard disk so that the
pieces of each file are stored close together and continuously.
● Duplicate Finder finds and deletes files that are duplicated in your system.
● Registry Cleaner identifies and deletes invalid or outdated references in the
Windows Registry. In order to keep the Windows Registry clean and optimized,
it is recommended to run the Registry Cleaner monthly.
● Registry Recovery can retrieve registry keys previously deleted from the Windows
Registry using Bitdefender Registry Cleaner.
● Performance Monitor monitors your system hardware and software configuration
in order to make sure you are fully protected from malware.
