Not particularly impressed by its speed and effectiveness at finding duplicate files.

And honestly 29 $ for a program like this is something defying human understanding...LOL!

The following Duplicate File Detector Apps are FREE and much better than today's giveaway: so there's no need to pay anything for this kind of task!!

My favourite one is definitely AUSLOGICS DUPLICATE FILE FINDER(first link above), since it's even able to find files with identical pictures, not to mention that it compares files not only by names, but also by their content.

Cool, isn't it??

Enjoy!!

I have been using this program since the previous giveaway (v3.05), and I like it.
This version has a little nicer GUI, and is probably easier to use for the novice user ("If you don't know what to do, just press "run", you have to say YES to the filters before they turn up).

This is probably not the FASTEST program out there, but in my book, "slow" feels "safe". Emphasis on FEELS safe.

Installed on top of previous giveaway without the need of any codes.

I cannot get the help-file to work, which is NOT good, even for a quite intuitive program.

One nice improvement from the previous version (I can at least not remember it) is the option to mark a file to KEEP that file only, as opposed to having to mark ALL the files you want to delete.

I am still missing a feature like "show all files in this folder marked as duplicates", which would be really helpful to see if a WHOLE FOLDER is duplicates or if some of the files in the folder is unique. (Yes, I am paranoid, but I do not feel comfortable deleting a whole folder just because I believe it to be a duplicate folder. I want to SEE that all the files have been found elsewhere. (And where the duplicates are found).

This version of the clone-terminator have just the usual "this file has these duplicates, keep/delete" and then move on to the next file to do the same. If you could delete whole folders at once, you could save a lot of time when you work with a program like this.

The program is a keeper, nevertheless.

Too expensive for only one function. Free alternatives Advanced System Care or Glarys Utilities.

@7 If you are running Windows, then you should know that Symantec is probably more dangerous than the file you downloaded. There products have never played well with Windows. (computer tech, 25+ years)

Their website doesn´t inspire me to download.

My favorite is CloneSpy portable 2.62 (free, 1.3 MB) and former versions, I've been using for years and very often. All in English even Homepage (with lots of informations), despite of being from German author(s)! Lots of features.
You can choose between standard or portable installation.

For pictures: Dup Detector 3.302 (free!) which can even find similar pictures.
