Argente Utilities is a one-stop PC maintenance suite with tools to clean, optimize, repair and generally improve your system's speed and reliability.

It's a relatively lightweight, portable package, arriving as a 7.5MB zip file, and there's no adware or similar hassles: just a gentle "donate" screen which you can dismiss forever with a click.

 A plain and text-heavy interface then presents a familiar-looking set of tools, with modules to clean your disk and Registry, control Windows startup programs, wipe system and application histories, and more.

These didn't always work as we expected. The Disk Cleaner didn't clear our temporary folders, for example, instead locating junk files according to their extension (dmp, old, tmp and so on). It's a little slow, but does come with a lengthy list of dubious file types, and makes at least some effort to protect users from harm (by default it ignores read only files and anything in your system folders).
