Clean and Optimize

Use McAfee Utilities Clean and Optimize utilities to help you ensure
maximum performance of your computer via easy-to-use maintenance and
optimization tools.

Cleanup Wizard

Cleanup Wizard allows you to reclaim space on the hard disk by helping you
identify files that you no longer need such as duplicate files; and files that are
considered no longer useful. Once these files are identified, Cleanup Wizard
walks you through the process of either deleting the files, compressing the files
or moving the files to another location so you can save space on your
computer.
It scans your disk or hard drive for files that can be deleted based on selected
safety levels (e.g., temporary files and files int eh Recycle Bin). A list of files is
generated and displayed for you to review and decide which files should be
deleted, moved, compressed, etc.

Disk Tune

Disk Tune optimizes your hard disk and improves your computer's
performance by rearranging files on your hard disk for maximum efficiency.
It defragments your Windows Swap File—the file used by Windows to store
information temporarily so that memory can be freed for other applications. A
fragmented Swap File also affects the performance of your system.
You should run Disk Tune whenever your drive becomes fragmented by more
than 2 or 3 percent. When you start Disk Tune, it reviews your drive and
recommends the type of defragmentation and optimization process that you
should use.
If you are using Windows 98, Disk Tune lets you use the application log file
that Windows 98 creates to determine how applications and their related files
will be optimally stored on your drive.
