"Excellent! Works as advertized."
Version: Ace Utilities 5.2.4
Pros
Pay once, own it forever, free updates.
It does what it says it does.
No malware as others suspect.
Manual controls ler ME decide what to fix.Cons
None that I have found after years of use.
Summary
This is not a high-powered piece of software, and certainly not an anti-virus product as some seem to think. It cleans up after you, keeps your registry in pretty decent shape, clears your browsing history, provides a startup manager. Yeah, you have to do things manually, but are you gonna trust system-changing software to run on automatic? Not me. The intelligent, full disc-wipe is especially cool -- and safe. As I said I've used this software for years and wouldn't trade it for anything. Think of it as a Swiss Army Knife for your computer. 5 stars, easy!

"Works as advertised"
Version: Ace Utilities 5.2.4
Pros
Have used utility for years, works as advertised. It doesn't insert junk.
Cons
Had to buy one for 32bit machine and one for my new 64 bit machine. Seems like it is only updated once a year.
Summary
Good product for those who are just staring out, you get 30 days to test. During those 30 days, nothing is disable that I can remember. Has an Ignore list mode for registry entries for advanced users that is interesting. I had always wondered why the registry had entries for products I never use. I had forgotten the crap ware the system came with, Ace utilities reminded me of that entries, Ignored probably because software came with system.

"What the hell?!"
Version: Ace Utilities 5.2.4
Pros
WOW!!! This program sounds SUPER awesome based on most all the reviews! And it's totally FREE to download and use for 30 days!!!
Cons
I tend to believe the negative reviews, mainly because the glowing 5 stars are either in essay format (read: PAID REVIEWERS) or one-liners from users who haven't passed 2nd grade spelling or grammar lessons (I can't figure out if they don't realize the program sucks, or they were paid to look like Average Joe users.)
Summary
I'm not convinced that this or ANY of these so-called "registry cleaners/mechanics" etc are anything but crap, and just fancy-looking vessels to insert viruses, spyware/malware, you name it and foul up your hard drive even further.

"Where is Cnet's Review"
Version: Ace Utilities 5.2
Pros
I have not tried it. Only rated it because a rating must be selected before review can be submitted.
Cons
"Read Cnet's Review". Well, there is not a Cnet review!

Cnet gave this software 5 stars and wrote, "Read Cnet's Review." There is not a Cnet Review. Did Cnet withdraw their review and why? Did they discover something unhealthy about this software? User Beware!

"Simply Awesome!"
Version: Ace Utilities 5.2
Pros
Extremely easy to use. Simple set-up simple uninstall. Options are easy to understand and don't really seam to allow for any harmful tinkering to take place that could result in system instability. EXTREMELY FAST and LIGHTWEIGHT!
Cons
I haven't found any as of yet. The closest thing so far is that there is no free version yet and unfortunately i will not be able to reap the benefits after 30 days.
Summary
A must try. No gimmicky programming or results. Readily noticeable performance increases that will leave you wanting to own the power for yourself. I know it definitely did me! Highly Recommended!

"Underrated - the best out there."
Version: Ace Utilities 5.2
Pros
So simple to use - GREAT junk cleaner and GREAT registry cleaner - good at finding duplicates and shortcuts. Not overwhemling software - no fancy gadgets and gizmo's.
Cons
That this isn't a free utility
Summary
Best of the best - computer feels clean after use. Pair this with CCleaner and your all set. Extremely fast scan and cleaner- nothing faster. It's not fancy looking but It does a nice job - complete package. You can't tell me the free utilities CNET offers are better than this - no way. Search youtube to get this for nothing!

"Worked well to find duplicate phots on my computer."

Pros
I recovered 30 GB of space on my harddrive, after moving files from my external harddrive, to my C-Drive. Program was seamless and easy to use, ( even from me, a physician / computer novice ).
Cons
Did not utilize all features of the program
Summary
Only felt safe in using it to search for duplicate files, given my level of expertise
