Allume Systems Launches Spring Cleaning 7.0, The #1 Uninstaller
New Version Lets Users Take Control of Their Computer With Cleanup and Privacy Features
WATSONVILLE, CA, August 17, 2004 - Allume Systems, Inc., an IMSI company (OTC BB: IMSI), today announced Spring Cleaning(r) 7.0, a new version of its best-selling Mac clean-up tool that boosts computer performance and enables users to take control and protect their privacy. The latest edition graphically displays the size of files that are taking up unnecessary space and enables users to scan their Macs, and display a "snapshot" of what has changed on the system since the last scan. Other new features swiftly clean out temporary and log files, while conveniently saving custom searches for use at a later time.
Spring Cleaning is the safe and easy way to clean up a hard drive to regain disk space and boost system performance. Spring Cleaning 7.0 quickly cleans up clutter, organizes files, and enables users to take control of their Macs while increasing the efficiency of their computers. Its cleaning crew of powerful utilities features specialized tools that help get the job done.
"With Spring Cleaning 7.0, Mac users now have more ways than ever before to boost the efficiency of their systems and eliminate unnecessary files that clog up their computers," said Pauline Shumake, Senior Product Manager of Allume Systems, Inc. "Now they can graphically view where the large, space-hogging files are on their Macs and see for themselves how much space they have cleared out with our latest enhancements."
Spring Cleaning 7.0 includes several powerful new features:
o NEW! VIEW HOW MUCH SPACE CAN BE SAVED - The new Size Manager utility quickly locates large files and graphically shows users exactly how much space the files in their volumes and folders take on their machines. Users can then determine which action to take and whether or not to clear those large files off their drives.
o NEW! SEE BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURE OF SYSTEM CHANGES -System Snapshot allows users to view exactly what has changed on their system after an update or installation occurs, by comparing the snapshot of the current system to a prior snapshot of the user's computer.
o NEW! ELIMINATE UNNECESSARY, SPACE-HOGGING FILES - The Logs and Temporary Items Finder cleans out space-hogging temporary files and log files that are not in use. This feature intelligently and automatically safeguards the important files that are still needed and only targets those files whose deletion would not result in data loss or inoperable software.
o NEW! SAVE CUSTOM SEARCHES FOR LATER USE - Spring Cleaning 7.0 can now save custom file searches and reload them at any time with preset selections. The software also provides enhanced filtering for better and more precise searches.
o NEW! EASIER TO COMPARE FILES, FOLDERS, AND APPLICATIONS - The QuickCompare feature has been enhanced to enable users to conveniently drag items to the QuickCompare icon and have them automatically entered as the files to compare. QuickCompare also works with folders, applications, and resource forks.
o NEW! IMPROVED USER INTERFACE - Spring Cleaning 7.0 now includes enhancements for easier and more intuitive operation and system navigation.
With Spring Cleaning, users can do routine maintenance, or focus on clearing out unnecessary Internet files like cookies, email attachments, and more. Spring Cleaning helps each step of the way. Power users can even switch to Advanced Mode for tasks such as comparing file resource forks, editing Sherlock cookies, and performing other sophisticated functions. With the latest version, Spring Cleaning 7.0 gives Mac users better ways to safeguard the privacy of their personal information and protect it from prying eyes.
