- "Consolidated Vista tools"
- Reviewed on: January 28, 2009
- Version reviewed: Advanced Vista Optimizer 2009 3.5.3853
Advanced Vista Optimizer consolidates into one dashboard numerous system-tweaking and configuration tools, from the basic to the advanced. The features cover the bases, including disk and Registry defragging, program prefetching and the proprietary Superfetching, start-up and shutdown tweaks, optimization adjustments for performance, memory, and hardware, an uninstaller, and a file splitter and joiner.
Designed to resemble Vista's Windows Explorer layout, the interface makes clever use of a breadcrumb trail at the top to make it easier to navigate back to any previously-visited level. Below the breadcrumb bar, the main window has been split into two levels. The top pane contains feature information about the tool you're currently looking at, and a static panel detailing current system settings such as last optimization date, available RAM, and OS version--Windows Vista Enterprise, for example.
AVO offers one other feature, a Single Click Care that blasts through both its initial scan and the subsequent clean-up. The start button for this cumulative scan that rounds up all optimization features except for defragmentation appears in the main window for the program, ensuring a quick start. In our tests, the initial scan took about 90 seconds to discover what it considered more than 2000 problem points, and the corrective clean-up took about four minutes. A system restart is required for changes to take effect.
As is occasionally common in these omnitool programs, some of AVO's components could be more thoroughly fleshed out. The Disk Defragger, for example, lacks a progress bar and is not the fastest defragger we've seen, although it is effective. Nevertheless, users who want a comprehensive round-up of tools and utilities accessible from one familiar interface should find Advanced Vista Optimizer to be worth the investment.

Version: Advanced Vista Optimizer 2009 3.5.3853
"Update was actually attempt to UPGRADE"
Pros: I have purchased numerous products from Systweak including memory optimizer(s) and system optomizers. The products generally have some value in doing as advertised.
Cons: These products have caused me grief because updates are not seamless. The latest "update" was actually an UPGRADE. My registration was no longer valid. I had to uninstall the UPGRADE, reinstall ASO 2008 and find my old registration information.
Summary: This is not the first time I have run into this problem with systweak. I think I am done doing the dance with this company as this seems to be their approach to force users to purchase upgrades. If they cannot sell enough software and upgrades bas... read more >>
