I have no idea what the programs in the bundle do. Are any of them good? What are they used for? Thanks!

I wouldn't personally get it, doesn't seem like there is anything interesting in it for me personally.

Well if you want a non-jerkwad response:

  • Smart Defrag Pro: Useless. Windows' defragger is fine.
  • Revo Uninstaller: The free version works fine if you really want a "nuke from orbit" uninstaller.
  • EaseUs ToDo Backup Home: You can roll out your own methods without paying a dime.
  • Advanced SystemCare Pro: I'm going to assume this is some kind of system cleaner app or whatever, which the free version CCleaner does a fine enough job.
  • Driver Booster Pro: 1. You can do this for free 2. You shouldn't be updating your drivers willy-nilly
  • Speedify VPN: Eh, maybe the only thing worthwhile if you want a VPN.
  • IOBit Malware Fighter: Windows Defender + common sense goes much further. If you want an extra layer of protection, Malwarebyte's free version of Antimalware works too.
  • Connectify Hotspot MAX: I don't know why you would want to turn your computer into a hotspot.
  • Auslogics File Recovery: You could get Recuva, which is free.
  • Winzip Standard Edition: 7Zip does the same job, for free.

I have a blog! And a list of guides I've posted

Like @M.Yurizaki told here, most of the programs are useless and I wouldn't really trust them either.

this is like the shit you see preinstalled as bloatware almost.... why would anyone buy this?

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

TBH there are a lot of free alternatives like auslogic disc defrag which is miles better and a lot faster then what I would laughingly refer to as a disc defragmenter tool that is included with windows, acronis true image which most hard drive and SSD manufacturers offer for free and (as has already been mentioned) 7-zip.

 

Also anything with the iobit brand should be avoided since they can't be trusted since they were caught stealing other companies code a few years back (even though I wouldn't trust the latest version of the related software released by that company since it gave me nothing but issues) and the true abilities of their software showed its face when they had to remove said code.
