When the scan is over, you can either close out the scan window and choose to fix selected problems or click on the Optimize button to fix every issue found. One nice feature here-at any time during the scan, you can cancel the entire processr or you can click to cancel the current step and move on to the next one if needed. You’ll definitely want to use the Defrag utility later on (and on a regular basis), but it’s a good idea to wait and do that later when you don’t need your PC for other tasks. Whether or not you choose to do this is completely up to you, but it only takes a couple of minutes-assuming you run a Custom Scan and don’t check the Defrag option.


The first time you run WinZip System Utilities Suite after installation, you’ll be prompted to perform an initial scan. It should be noted that the software is only available for the Windows platform, and you do need to be running XP, Vista, or Windows 7 (32 or 64 bit) to install.

No reboot is necessary, so you can start using the application immediately after installation. Like most Windows products, the software has an automated wizard that does the work for you-all you really have to do is click “Next” several times. The installation process of WinZip System Utilities Suite is quick and painless. While the variety of tools included in this software suite is impressive, do these utilities really improve PC performance and make it easier to perform general computer maintenance? We’ll investigate in this review. The software bundle also contains backup and recovery tools, including an “undelete” utility to help recover files that have been accidentally deleted.

System Utilities Suite is actually a collection of tools that focuses on PC optimization, maintenance and performance. WinZip is pretty much a household name when it comes to compression and encryption software, but the release of System Utilities Suite marks a whole new direction for the WinZip line of products.
