Summary
forget it. it is just to slow

"I believe it is finding fake issues, for the most part."
Version: Advanced SystemCare 6.2.0.254
Pros
It goes through and cleans the system, finds way too many issues.
Cons
It seemed to find issues every time I ran it, but does it really find problems. My computer is fairly new, runs very well or at least it did. My computer does not possibly have that many problems and still be running.
Summary
Long story short, I installed this program - ASC on a computer at work, the computer slowed way down. The IT guy gave me a well deserved, do not ever do that again, he pointed out it is constantly writing to the hard drive, using a good portion of the 2 GB ram on the work computer. My computer has 6 GB, so it was not so noticeable, once the (programs) were removed off both computers, they went so much faster. He also said the other programs you are encourage to install are not needed, he said just use CCleaner - much better then ASC, so glad I made the mistake of putting ASC on the work computer, my computer is new again with much faster web browsing and program response. I will stay away from all CNET free downloads from this point on, I was going through this for over a year and a half on my computer, over two weeks on the work one, till I contacted IT.

"add me to the list.."
Version: Advanced SystemCare 6.2.0.254
Pros
it performs as it always has..until it locks up my pc
Cons
locks up the pc
Summary
This locks up my Dell XP pc. I wasn't sure it was ASC but I removed it for a couple of weeks then reinstalled. Same problem..it locks up and I can't do anything. Cntl/ALT/Delete gives me a memory error message and I'm forced to do a shutdown. I changed the settings so it wouldn't come up on startup but that in itself did not fix it. It's a shame..I've used this for years and WAS very happy with it

"If put all your settings in All Auto Mode,"
Version: Advanced SystemCare 6.2.0.254
Pros
If put all your settings in All Auto Mode, it is a system hog.
Cons
If put all your settings in All Auto Mode, it is a system hog.
Summary
If put all your settings in All Auto Mode, it is a system hog.

"Used to be a good free product, now just bloatware"
Version: Advanced SystemCare 6.2.0.254
Pros
Paid features offer good functionality
Cons
Used to be a very good, simple and uncluttered piece of software. Recently has gone into an upgrade cycle of offering increasingly bloated features, and forcing "free" users to keep upgrading to "updated" versions which offer increasingly less features.
Summary
If you want to pay for a piece of commercial software, then just see this as a free trial. If you want a free application to improve your computer, don't bother.

"Does the job THE BEST of all."
Version: Advanced SystemCare 6.2.0.254
Pros
Easy to use.
Cons
If put all your settings in All Auto Mode, it is a system hog.
Summary
Keep all the settings in advanced mode and do your scans, etc. when you want to.
It's a fantastic program. I love it! Worth every penny! -
"Great Program"
Version: Advanced SystemCare 6.2.0.254
Pros
finds all trackware, adware, and spyware. Cleans and fixes my registry, boosts my internet speed, defrags.
Cons
None that I can tell
Summary
The free version of this program is all I use. I set the settings up so that this program only runs when I open it. I run it once a week, and it always find registry errors, junk files, and other stuff. I highly recommend this program.

"Good all in one, but..."
Version: Advanced SystemCare 6.2.0.254
Pros
Everything you need to maintain your pc.
Cons
Automatically installed Start 8, a program that brings the start menu back to windows 8 PCs. But Start 8 conflicted with Classic Shell I already had. No warning, just automatic install. So I am removing all Iobit products from all my computers.
At startup, will install a search toolbar unless you explicitly uncheck it.Summary
The Start 8 thing was the last annoyance, the last straw. I want to keep Classic Shell, which I already had.

Pros
all must-have tools in one suit
Cons

"Does what it says; cleans up a few things others don't."
Version: Advanced SystemCare 6.2.0.254
Pros
Clears junk files faster than any program I've used.
Registry Defrag appears to make things run a bit quicker.
Increased my internet speeds a little... more than others did.
The tiny monitor is the best I've had for keeping track of memory and CPU usage while offering a quick open of the program menu also.Cons
none really
Summary
Highly recommend at least the free program to any PC users.
