How Guardian Works

Three steps. You stay in control the whole way.

Guardian starts by understanding the PC, explains what it finds, and only then gives you the choice to take action.

1

ANALYZE PC

Guardian looks over the whole PC and writes a plain-language assessment. Each finding says what was found, what it means, what to do, and how safe it is.

Changes nothing
2

CLEAN & OPTIMIZE

Safe items are pre-selected. Anything with a trade-off starts unticked and needs your approval. Guardian asks Windows for a restore point before changing any setting.

You approve

SEE THE RESULTS

Guardian measures the PC again and shows before and after side by side: space freed, startup apps and memory in use. Save the report as a web page to keep or share.

Proof of work
Complete PC Health Check

More than a junk-file cleaner.

Guardian looks at the areas that actually affect the health, performance, privacy and usability of your Windows PC.

✓

Safe Cleanup

Windows and user temp files, old logs, error reports, shader caches and update caches.

✓

Startup Apps

Find applications slowing down sign-in while protecting security, VPN and sync tools that should remain active.

✓

Browser Privacy

Review Edge, Chrome and Firefox cleanup while protecting passwords, bookmarks and other important browser data.

✓

Memory & CPU

See the top resource users so you can understand what is really consuming the PC's resources.

✓

Storage

Review free space, Recycle Bin usage, Windows Update downloads, Windows.old and large Downloads folders.

✓

PC Health

Check pending restarts, uptime, antivirus status, disk health and Windows power configuration.

Safety First

Every action has a safety tier.

Guardian does not treat every cleanup action the same. Safe maintenance can happen automatically, while anything with a trade-off is clearly explained before you approve it.

SAFE

Cleaned by default

Disposable files that Windows and browsers rebuild on their own.

  • Temp files & old logs
  • Shader & update caches
  • Browser cache
RECOMMENDED

Explained, pre-selected

Worth doing for most PCs. Guardian explains why and still lets you untick it.

  • Old crash dumps
  • Balanced power plan
  • Windows Disk Cleanup
ADVANCED

Only with your approval

Starts unticked. Guardian explains the consequence before anything happens.

  • Empty Recycle Bin
  • Turn off startup apps
  • Cookies & history
PROTECTED

Never touched

Guardian can measure these areas so you can see them, but it will not modify them.

  • Font & icon caches
  • Thumbnail cache
  • Windows Prefetch

Built-in safeguards

  • Restore point requested before any setting changes.
  • Startup apps are disabled using normal Windows methods. Nothing is uninstalled.
  • Every change is listed with DONE or NOT DONE and instructions for reversing it.
  • Browsers are never force-closed without your approval.

What Guardian never does

  • Touch passwords, bookmarks or documents
  • Delete your Downloads folder
  • Run risky "registry cleaning"
  • Kill running applications to fake a "RAM boost"
Real Results

See what changed — and what didn't.

Guardian gives you measurable results instead of simply claiming that your computer has been "optimized."

Recover Disk Space

Clear leftover files and caches without hunting through Windows folders yourself.

Faster Sign-In

Find the apps loading at startup and switch off the ones you do not need.

Better Privacy

Clear browser traces when you choose to, with a clear warning when an action may sign you out.

Fewer Surprises

Spot pending restarts, antivirus problems and disk health concerns before they become bigger problems.

Peace of Mind

Safety tiers and restore-point protection eliminate the mystery around what a PC cleanup actually changed.

Proof of Work

Save a before-and-after report to keep on file or provide to a customer.
