SystemNanny is just the right application to turn to from time to time, to make sure your machine will be up and running again in a jiffy.

The application is fairly simple to use due to its intuitive and pleasant design, and tries to make sure you will never feel lost. All of the functions you can make use of are displayed as tabs in the upper part of the main window, each with its own corresponding icon, and a warm welcome message to tell you in which tab you are, the message depending on the time of the day.

Cleaning options tell you why it is important and how often is best to do so. The “Home” page shows your “PC Health” and lets you quickly scan for bad entries and leftovers from uninstalled applications. You will be able to optimize your computer with a single mouse click however, there always seems to be a problem, the PC always being in bad shape, regardless of the number of scan and fix procedures done.

The application features several other functions besides cleaning. You are given a few ways to better optimize your computer's performance, which are found in the form of models, and are a preset of settings that will be changed on your system to make it run smoother.

Amongst other, you will also come across a function to encrypt your files for better protection, split them into volumes with the possibility to merge them again at any given time, and completely remove items that are no longer used.

SystemNanny lives up to the expectations of such an application. However, it makes you wonder if it really does its job well enough, or if your computer gets sick every couple of seconds and needs close attention. On the other hand, it offers such a large variety of options to optimize you PC, that it will sooner or later know you are in good hands.
