[v2.1.1] NTLite – Ultimate Windows integration and customization edge tool

System-Related

The advantages of simplifying system installation files are obvious: 1) greatly shortens the installation time of OS; 2) saves a lot of disk space occupied by system partition; 3) makes the system run faster; 4) there is no need to manually remove unwanted/unused files one by one after installing the system (otherwise, that's not only extremely inefficient, but also error-prone, and the these files can not be removed completely. So it's better not to install them at all). Besides, integrating drivers, patches, software and other resources into the system installation package can greatly reduce the time and effort spent on driver update, patch update, software installation and other aspects for a newly installed system.

[v7.4] Avira System Speedup – Successor of 360Amigo System Speedup

System-Related

Avira used to be bundled with TuneUp Utilities for sale, but it's a pity that AVG successfully became a listed company (i.e.: went public) in 2012 and acquired TuneUp Utilities as a whole - became now AVG PC TuneUp, which directly made the marriage between Avira and TuneUp Utilities impossible. After that, the Norman company from Norway once got very close to 360Amigo System Speedup (now ToolWiz's developer from China) by way of bundling too, but in the end Avira took over 360Amigo before Norman. Then 360Amigo was first offered as an OEM component of Avira's advanced versions of security software, and then fully acquired.
