Post-virus optimization

In the search for the meanest, leanest computer around, dedicated techies are always looking for better ways to optimize their machines. There are often several parts to this optimization, however, and it can be tiring and complicated to check each individually. What could be better, then, than a program that optimizes everything from one interface?!

That's precisely what Windows Medkit does, a small application that combines multiple management tasks, from start-up and tasks to automatic shutdown and history clearing. The developer maintains that it is mainly intended for post-virus cleaning, but it is actually quite a flexible tool that can be used for various purposes. Windows Medkit also provides a centralized interface for Windows Explorer and other system utilities such as Command Prompt and Registry.

The main problem with Windows Medkit is that it focuses on more advanced tasks. It has no help file, wizards or guide, so unless you know exactly what you need to do, many of the options will be too advanced. If you do know what you are doing, however, Windows Medkit is a handy little tool to help keep your machine in top condition.

Windows Medkit is a flexible tool for advanced care of your computer, especially after getting rid of a virus.

To the developer. Hi Michael, I'm sorry you didn't like my review, but there are a few things I want to point out.[1] I am aware that Windows Medkit doesn't clean your internet history; I was using "history clearing" as a description of what it does, not a feature name. I also mentioned it as a positive, not a negative.[2] I realize who it is for, and mentioned that it was suitable for more advanced users so people can be sure it is appropriate for their ability.[3] At the time of testing, I found it buggy. Other users may not have the same problem, but as a reviewer, I have to be cautious.[4] You are right in your explanation of why Windows Medkit is always on top, but I maintain as since most of your time with the program won't be spent removing viruses (hopefully), the feature is irritating more often than helpful.[5] Yes, the restart is required by Windows, but as it occurs when using Windows Medkit, most users will make that connection. Again, as a reviewer I have to point these things out so the readers do not feel misled.My review of Windows Medkit concluded that it is a good program for advanced users. You say that it is a good program for advanced users. I don't see the problem!

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
