CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: Seth Rosenblatt on January 23, 2009
This easy-to-use and informative application cleans, configures, and optimizes your PC. Advanced WindowsCare Pro's interface dispenses with the bells and whistles to display commands and data without embellishment.
The install Wizard zips through the set up, querying the user on the PC's primary use and Internet connection type. Answer those two simple questions, choose from a short list of options, and you're ready to virus check and scan for spyware, registry errors, and start-up problems, or clean your PC of history and surfing traces. The app's strength is the detailed information the scan provides, which lists each item with a description of its value based on trustworthiness. Unknown items can be identified online or ignored. The Tools menu checks five primary areas of your PC for rogue processes, services, and incorrectly installed options.
Since registry entries are involved, we wish the fixes recommended were more detailed. The program includes a quick restore point option for system safety, but repairs can't be made in the trial edition, drastically circumscribing the app's effectiveness unless you buy it sight unseen. The app's uncomplicated and straightforward usage is appreciated, but the since the main selling point has been cut off at the knees, we're hesitant to give this a more glowing recommendation.

Version: Advanced SystemCare Pro 3.1.2
Pros: Low RAM usage
Automated cleaning in background
Excellent interface
Outstanding cleansing power!
Multiple manually-run modules available for deeper cleaning.
SmartRAM works wonders!Cons: Ashampoo's WinOptimizer 5 stands as a shining example of dozens of multiple sub-programs that ASC could've had.
Smart Defrag does not come pre-installed as well as other IObit products.Summary: I fully recommend this powerhorse. It's free version is not sufficient, or let's just say, it doesn't FEEL sufficient because it constantly tells you of hundreds of other problems that can be fixed ONLY with the professional version.

"Would NOT Recommend - My PC's will never be the same"

Summary: After creating a backup/restore file, I ran all diagnostics and allowed it to fix per it's recommendations... on 2 PCs (1-XP 1-Vista)! My PCs were never the same after the first time 'cleaning'. Even after restoring using their restore function it's... read more >>

"Cleans your computer & gives you spyware"
Pros: Works quickly to locates and delete traces of old files and speeds up your computer.
Cons: Full of Spyware & Adware. KIlls your pop-up blocker.
Summary: I tried the free edition and it worked "OK", so I upgraded to the Pro edition. It cleaned out a lot of old files I was having troubles getting rid of and it speeded up my computer, BUT: my antivirus has found over 100 pieces of spyware it can't get ... read more >>
