Toolwiz Care: PC Optimization and Maintenance Software

Toolwiz Care is an all-in-one computer maintenance software designed to optimize and tweak your PC and keep it in pristine condition. The software has a huge number of tools bundled together. The usual suspects are disk cleaner, file shredder, registry cleaner, startup manager, disk defragmenter, network manager, process manager, program uninstaller etc. There are also several utilities that lets you perform numerous jobs like split file, encrypt files, recover deleted files, generate passwords, improve computer performance during gaming, prevent unwanted changes to the system, and some more. Apparently, Toolwiz Care is not only concerned about the health of your system but your health as well. This explains why there is an ‘Eyes Care’ utility among them.

The tools are organized under different heads such as Cleanup, Speedup, Security, Tools, and App Manager. To avoid overwhelming the user with multiple options, upon starting the program, Toolwiz Care offers to perform a full checkup of the system during which it identifies problems and areas that require attention and offers to fix them with one click. During the checkup the programs checks things such as disk usage by unwanted/temporary files, history records of browsers and different programs, fragmented files, dangerous startup programs, folders that you might have shared previously and forgotten to revert etc. Of course, I looked at the report and choose to do my own fixing by visiting each of the sections individually.

The program has a suspiciously small download size – only 3.9 MB. A software that packs 40+ tools (I haven’t counted it. The developer says so.) but weighs less than 4 MB (100KB per program on average) will raise anybody’s eyebrows. The program does some incredible stuff too, like it measured how long my computer and each process takes to startup without actually measuring the startup time. I have no idea how it does that. It says my computer is 75% faster than the rest of the world.

How to Record CPU and Memory Usage Over Time in Windows?

Whenever the computer is lagging or some application is taking too long to respond, we usually fire up task manager and look under the Performance tab or under Processes to check on processor utilization or the amount of free memory available. The task manager is ideal for real-time analysis of CPU and memory utilization. It even displays a short history of CPU utilization in the form of a graph. You get a small time-window, about 30 seconds or so, depending on how large the viewing area is.

How to Schedule Changes to Your Facebook Page Cover Photo

Facebook’s current layout, the so called Timeline, features a prominent, large cover photo that some people are using in a lot of different creative ways. Timeline is also available for Facebook Pages that people can use to promote their website or business or event. Although you can change the cover photo as often as you like, it’s meant to be static – something which you design and leave it for at least a few weeks or months like a redesigned website. However, there are times when you may want to change the cover photo frequently and periodically to match event dates or some special promotion that you are running or plan to run. So, here is how you can do that.
