CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: Jason Parker on December 17, 2008
This utility offers a one-stop-shop for cleaning and maintaining your computer for better overall system performance. The interface is very simple, featuring only a few buttons, which makes it easy to get down to cleaning immediately (in fact, it automatically runs on start-up) and doesn't confuse you with multiple steps.
The Maintain Windows section focuses on four areas of maintenance: spyware removal, Registry cleaning, a privacy sweep, and deletion of junk files. The Diagnose System button provides system optimization tools, detects spyware, defragments your disk, and scans for hijacked Windows settings. In our tests the scan and clean for each of these areas took less than 10 minutes to complete. In many of these scans, it is difficult to tell what exactly is being accomplished by some of the tools, but we were able to test against other trusted apps, which confirmed Advanced SystemCare's efficacy in those areas.
Under the utilities section you are given several tools, which are similar to plug-ins, for other areas of optimization and diagnostic tests. Overall, Advanced SystemCare Free is a good way to maintain your system's speed and clear out junk files, but you'll need to remember to run it regularly because scheduling of scans is only available in the paid Pro version.

Version: Advanced SystemCare Free 3.5
Pros: I like regular maintenance as well as the utilities like smart defrag and game boost. Its so much easier to control startup programs with it instead of a configsys.
Cons: I am satisfied with this software and am impressed that it is free.
Summary: I've paid for a similar product before and the difference wasn't worth the money.

Version: Advanced SystemCare Free 3.5
Pros: it finds a lot of things that others don't,and have found it very easy to use.it does a lot considering it is free as well.
Cons: if you have version 4 of norton 360,you cannot have this on your computer as there is a compatabilty issue with it.this is a shame as i really enjoyed having this as it did such a good job.
Summary: considering this is free there is so much more on this software then you would have thought,it must be one of the most complete packages out there.
