Pristy Utils 2008 is a collection of tools to maintain your PC. It features everything from a power scheme manager to a web management utility.

The first utility, System PowerDown serves to schedule shutdowns, restarts, suspensions and blocking sessions in the PC after a specified time. Web assistant is the second application which works as a quick shortcut for different Web related uses such as sending mails, files over the internet etc. The third tool is called PC detector. It displays all the information from your computer hardware in eight different sections: - CPU, screen, sound, memory, network, disk storage devices, and so on. Finally, Pristy Utils 2008 has three applications for maintenance tasks - a cleaner to free RAM Memory, File Wipeout for secure deletion of files, and a Desktop clock which is basically a widget for the desktop. However, what this program is crying out for is a defragmentation tool - it's all very well cleaning up your hard drive but it doesn't speed them up which is where a defrag tool would come in really useful.

A great all round lightweight maintenance and web management tool although it lacks a few essentials.
