BeeDoctor is an all-in-one system maintenance and security tool for Windows

So-called all-in-one tools such as Advanced System Care, Slim Cleaner or Glary Utilities are highly popular on Windows thanks to the immense set of programs they ship with.

These tools are usually not as good as specialized programs though but much of the appeal comes from the fact that you only need to deal with a single program to take care of security issues, junk files and repairs among other things.

BeeDoctor is a free program for Windows that has been launched into the crowded market. It brings along with it the four major components antivirus, cleaning, performance and software.

When you start the program for the first time after installation you may run a system assessment. This scan takes a couple of seconds to complete and a system health score is displayed in the end.

The program displays the passed checks and issues found and it takes only a couple of clicks to resolve those that have been found.

You may notice however that the information it provides is often not sufficient to understand what the issue actually is. It displays a URL hijacking issue on a Windows 7 Pro test PC for instance but failed to reveal any information about it other than that.

The same was true under the miscellaneous category where BeeDoctor identified "several unnecessary startup items" but did not mention which.

While you can fix the issue right there, you don't really know what is being fixed and what the consequence is of doing so. This may lead to undesirable results. Fixes you make are reflected instantly in the overall system health score.

BeeDoctor displays the four major components that it ships with in a sidebar. These are used in the system scan as well but can be used on their one instead right from there.

  1. Cleaner is a junk file cleaner that can remove traces and temporary files on the system. It is not as powerful as CCleaner or comparable tools but will remove temporary Internet files, Recycle Bin files and files from other major temporary file locations.
  2. Speed Up lets you manage startup, service and scheduled tasks, and displays the speed improvements gained from disabling items so that they are not started with the system.
  3. The antivirus component is powered by Avira. It offers real-time protection as well as options to run a full system scan or manual scan.
  4. Uninstaller finally displays installed software and an option to uninstall those programs. It will do a left-over scan after the removal completes.

Besides all that, there are a couple of extra features available. You can configure the program to auto-clean junk files when the system is idle, apply tweaks to the system to improve its performance, or use suggestions provided by the program to turn off tasks or services.

Closing Words

BeeDoctor is a young fledgling when compared to established programs such as Advanced System Care and it shows at times. The functionality it makes available is quite good but it could be improved significantly in many regards including better information about suggested items.
