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 3.1.2
"Great Tool, very reliable and user friendly"
Pros: Software works really well. Cleans out the cobwebs which accumulate from surfing the web, installing and uninstalling software, etc. It is updated frequently, runs smoothly and I have never had a problem over the year it has been installed on my pc.
Cons: Nothing... works as well or better than software or services that cost money.
Summary: Advanced SystemCare Free works great. If all the rubes that get taken by scams like "speedupmypc" and other services and products that claim to fix pcs would try ASC first they would find that there pc runs faster and is more reliable.
