Version: Advanced SystemCare Free 3.1.1
"Great product but decided to uninstall."
Pros: Great product but...
Cons: has annoying sales tactics.
Summary: The product is excellent but I just don?t feel comfortable anymore about having anything from the IObit folks in my computer. Everytime I had used the CARE! Button on v3.1.1 the process was deliberately interrupted TWICE! to tell me that I have hundreds of other errors the software won?t fix unless I purchase their Pro version and the only two button choices they offer is to either buy now or buy later whereas version 3.0.1 didn?t have that kind of subliminal manipulation interrupting the cleaning process. If they had a physical store on some Main Street I?d suspect they?d go outside to trick unsuspecting citizens into thinking they?re being offered something for free while in reality they?re secretly being slowly manipulated into entering the store to be slyly tricked into either buying things now or else buy things later because IObit won?t take, nor dare offer, ?no thanks? for an answer. This isn?t the first nor second time I noticed when their latest free version took a turn for the worse and so I decided it was time to delete IObit out of my computer altogether which I did. Again, I say the software is great but I wouldn?t recommend it because I just don?t trust the people behind the product and so I?ll stick with other programs I still use which doesn?t interrupt the cleaning process with annoying tricky sales tactics. I?m not saying they?re not entitled to use such sales tactics because they are entitled, I?m just saying I?m not obligated to have them in my computer anymore and so I choose not to do so, as in to-each-their-own.
