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 3.2.0
"Fast and Effective! I love this program!"
Pros: The fact that it is a fast program that does the job. I have tried it against the program I have been using and it does the job quicker and just as effective as my old program. Honestly, I am amazed and pleased.
Cons: I wish I could do a "full" or "deep" scan with it. It seems to me that it comes close to accomplishing this act. I understand that it might take a bit longer, but I still think it would be faster than my old program.
Summary: If I do not want to sit in front of my computer for an "hour" or more, or leave my computer up "scanning" while I go to sleep or rest, then this is the best program. As I said, it is very fast, I love this. I have Fibromyalgia, and there are times... read more >>
