How do I do a system cleanup with the new version 2013?
 
It was very simple to use with the last version I used, to clean out the cookies and clear the cache to optimize the system.
 
Thanks in advance

WSA-AV and WSA-IS Plus do not have the function, only WSA-Complete does if this helps to answer the question.  If you have the AV or the Internet Security Plus, you probably will not see that tab as available.

Hello DrChico and welcome to the Webroot Community!
 
System Cleaner has been revamped and rename to System Optimizer.  Click on the gear tool next to Utilities, and then click on the System Optimizer tab.

Click on 'system optimizer' tab it said, or, to be exact - 
"System Cleaner has been revamped and rename to System Optimizer.  Click on the gear tool next to Utilities, and then click on the System Optimizer tab."
 
when I go to utilities, there is no such tab to be seen.  I use SecureAnywhere, has the original poster placed his entry under the wrong group? - or do I have a problem?
Thanks in anticipation of your replies

Hello Purgatory!  What version of WSA do you have?  The Original Poster, while posting here, appeared to possibly have a version above WSA-AV which does not have the System Optimizer feature.  I believe only WSA-Complete currently has this tab.

Just to confirm that System Optimizer is only available in the Internet Security Complete suite. I have included instructions below: 
 
Click on the gear icon next to 'Utilities'


 
Click on 'System Optimizer' and then 'Optimize Now'

Who else thinks Mike's tiny avatar looks suspiciously like Edward Snowden.
I didn't know Webroot had a Moscow office, comrade.

SO, the answer is that the modest version that I have 8.0.4.17 does not include this facility.
In other words the posting was wrongly placed in SecureAnywhere, and should have been placed in a higher spec version/group?
