NOOK HD Tablets-Now with Google PlayCNET Editors' review
With its comprehensive suite of utilities and attractive interface, Advanced System Optimizer makes it easy to regularly clean and optimize your system for better performance. In one of our tests, the optimizer cut down the registry size by 15 percent. The system-optimizer toolset handles sensitive areas such as registry files, as well as less critical data such as junk files and cookies. Privacy and security features clean Web files left in Internet Explorer, Opera, and Netscape, as well as finding and removing spyware. Encryption and secure erasing protect sensitive data. You can even make Windows more attractive by changing icons and wallpaper. More tools can organize your appointments, create sticky notes, and even manage media files. The XP-style interface clearly explains all the program's functions without flooding you with details. Sometimes more details would be nice, though, such as which invalid keys are completely safe to remove and which you might want to examine before deleting. However, you can back up system files and even create a boot disk to use in the event of a full-system crash. The easy-to-use interface makes Advanced System Optimizer perfect for beginners.Publisher's Description
From Systweak:
ASO2 includes more than 30 tools for supercharging your PC's performance, and more than 200 tweaks for customizing Windows and improving its performance. New features include a spyware detective, an e-mail checker, an icon manager, a fast e-mailer, and a comprehensive backup tool for Outlook and for files and folders. You can back up the registry and restore it if it's damaged by a virus attack. The system cleaner removes junk and obsolete files from the system, including files often missed by the system uninstaller as well as by defrag and ScanDisk programs. The registry cleaner ensures that invalid information is removed, and the registry defragger helps you get maximum speed from your computer.
Advanced System Optimizer's privacy protector keeps prying eyes out of your system. By removing cookies, the Web history, and the recent documents history, the program ensures your sensitive information can't be retrieved by others. Version 2.01.4 fixed the installer, which had a problem in Windows 98 and Me.

"Beware - Virus SCAM!"
Version: Advanced System Optimizer 2.01.4
Pros
None -created false popups on my computer
Cons
Created unending popups on my comuter. Technical supports attemtped to scam me
Summary
When there was a glitch in the software I called the company, before I knew it they had engaged in high pressure techniques to get me to allow them to connect directly to my computer. What followed was an even higher pressure sales pitch to convince me that I had viruses that only they could identify and could only be removed by them or their associates at a cost of over $500 per computer. I eventually hung up on them disconnected my computer and removed their software entirely from the system. I had to have my IT consultant come and check my computers for damage at a cost much greater than the software. I am running a top-of-the-line virus protection program which has never detected a virus and upon running subsequent deep scans continues to show no viruses - nor has my computer ever shown any signs of a virus until the bugginess of their software appeared.
This is a scam - orr there sites have be hijacked - do not order or download -
"Not a one off price - Requires more cash after a year"
Version: Advanced System Optimizer 2.01.4
Pros
Does a fair job with a simple to use intrerface
Cons
WARNING!!! Take care ? it is no longer a one off fee. I have had ASO since 2007 and it suddenly stopped working in 2010. When I sent a note to support they tell me that they now want me to pay another $18 plus $16 per year.
Summary
You can never be sure when this product will stop working and demand more dollars from you. Avoid.

"The worst program I've ever used for system utilizing."
Version: Advanced System Optimizer 2.01.4
Pros
Nothing just nothing....
Cons
This program made all of my works gone, deleted. All of my bookmarks. Password settings for opera. My windows user settings. And even my homepage in opera. My desktop icons. My uTorrents program and the downloads.
Summary
All of my socail media marketing links!!. It didn't even warned me about any backups. It just did its so called cleaning thing I used many system utilizing programs but that is the worst for me from now on. My System Restore Point was on before the program started but it even deleted all of my restore points in windows. Now I have to do all the restoring work manually and this will take weeks. Moreover I have lots of study for my and-of-terms exam. I just can't believe.

"Nice interface for accessing deep system settings"
Version: Advanced System Optimizer 2.01.4
Pros
Tweaking DEEP settings made EASY! Intuitive interface for customizing settings. from MTU and "critical worker threads" to display options and memory settings. Great registry optimizer
Cons
It is hard to get it ALL off of the computer (uninstall will not rid you of it) But the pieces left behind seem innocuous and benign. It has a lot of fluff and useless stuff (sticky notes, organizers) . . .
Summary
I ignore the useless fluff and use the powerful deep setting tweaks to fine tune my system. I do wish it could be completely, COMPLETELY removed/uninstalled.

"AWESOME product and EXCELLENT service"
Version: Advanced System Optimizer 2.01.4
Pros
ASO is awesome! I?ve been using this product for years. I hardly use the windows tools because Advanced System Optimizer does an excellent job. The System Cleaner, Optimizer, and all other features are excellent. Recently, my husband?s laptop will NOT defrag using windows and his computer completely slowed down and especially with Start up. I went ahead and installed and used this program on his laptop. He was a happy camper when it the start up was fast and everything was back to normal. On July 7th 8PM, I emailed systweak.com regarding any updates on ASO (purchased mine a few years back and another one on March 2006). I woke up in the morning and woolah! I got a response so fast from them. Not only did I get a response so quick, they also told me I can update or upgrade the product for a LIFETIME. They gave me a link to download the new ASO and NEW license key. Now, if only we can get this kind of service from other sellers? I?d give them 5 STARS for a great software, ease of use (I use all the features by the way), and what an EXCELLENT service! Thank you systweak!
Cons
