Duplicate file finder software is an extremely helpful tool for your computer. Over time you may find that your hard drive has been filled up by a lot of duplicates: photos, mp3s, programs, downloads, and more. There are a lot of ways this can happen. Probably the most common is downloading photos twice or even three times from your digital camera, making copies in folders to send to friends or for other projects and never removing them, and other similar circumstances.

Most people don't really even know that they have duplicate files, or some may suspect that they have a few. The best way to find out is to run a scan of your computer's hard drive with a duplicate file finder software tool. It would be much too hard to do this manually - you'd have to go through and essentially play a matching game with all the files on your computer. That's not really very practical.

Things to look for in a good software tool are various functions such as the ability to search for individual file types such as photos or mp3s, and extra features such as other computer optimization tools that are packaged into the same program. I would beware of programs that clear the extra files automatically since you won't know where the originals are anymore in some cases. They could delete the ones you want to keep. This is the only downside to duplicate file finder software

There are several good duplicate finders on the market, including PC Health Advisor and a few others. We liked PC Health Advisor the most because if its additional functionality. It offers a registry cleaner, windows startup manager, a defrag utility, privacy cleaner, malware remover, and more. It's produced by ParetoLogic software, a company that offers a 100% satisfaction money back guarantee on all their products.
