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 3.3.2
"Could not use a lot of its tools unless you pay for it."
Pros: Its Free, but thats about it!
Cons: A lot of its tools you have to pay for to use it. Also, I could not uninstall the IObit part of it from my computer!
Summary: Do not use this program, unless you plan on paying for it, because its nearly impossible to uninstall it, once its installed!

Version: Advanced SystemCare Free 3.3.2
"Some good features in this product... but not all free"
Pros: It's a fast program. Good selection of features.
Cons: To be able to use the features that are specifically good in this product you need to upgrade to paid version.
Summary: Good for the extra features, but those aren't free. If you just want a freeware anti-spyware tool there are other (better) free programs out there.
