Avast Cleanup Premium: Functionality
Next up, I'll talk about what this app has to offer in terms of functionality. I'll review its main modules and tools.
Cleanup features
Avast Cleanup Premium has a clutter scanner that detects and removes junk files, such as app cache, log files, trash, and downloads. App also has a browser cleanup option that removes browsing data and history in all your browsers.
Duplicates finder
This feature looks for duplicates among your documents, pictures, and media files. You can scan your whole drive or add individual folders to the scan. Though it will only find files that are 100% the same — similar-looking items won't be detected. To get a more detailed insight into your photos, you can click "Analyze photos" — this feature will look for bad and similar photos offering you to keep the best-looking images.
Uninstaller
Avast Cleanup Premium has an app uninstaller among its feature set, too. It allows you to delete all programs and their related data, so you can rest assured no traces of the old apps are cluttering your Mac.
Startup items manager
Startup items are app components that launch automatically when you start up your Mac. These usually run in the background, extending app functionality, and may sometimes overconsume your Mac's resources, so Avast offers you to remove them. Here you can quickly disable startup items and enable those already turned off.
Browser cleaner
This tool can help improve your privacy online. The thing is that all browsers you use on your Mac store important data — cookie files. They help make the browsing experience more enjoyable, but they can as well become a significant privacy issue. With the help of Avast's browser cleaner, you can remove these files, thus freeing up space and protecting your privacy.
