Introduction
At times when our system slows down, the only thought that comes to our mind is that it is infected by a virus or malicious application. However, this is not the only reason because of which the system slows down. One of the biggest reasons is the unnecessary duplication of files. At times we download files and are not aware of the fact that copies of the files are being saved in the system. At times we do search the system hard drives but there are certain locations that we do not check. Hence some of the files do reside in the system. To remove duplicate files, the user requires a powerful and effective search application. Such application helps in filtering the system and removes all the files that are not required.
DUP Killer description
DUP killer is a very powerful search application that helps the user in removing all the extra files that are residing in the system. DUP killer searches all the possible places on the system in which a file can be saved. The files can be searched according to the date of creation and modification. Hence, if a new copy of an existing file has to be saved instead of an older version, DUP searches the older versions of the file for the user. The files are matched in terms of the written text. The percentage to which an existing file matches its duplicate is displayed to the user as well. After that the user can replace the older version with the newer version. However, the case will be different if more than one copy of the same file exists. In this case, each copy of the file is matched and the matching percentage is displayed to the user. In that case, the user will be able to choose the versions that he wishes to save and the ones that he wishes to delete.
