CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This isn't the most feature-packed Windows-optimization utility, nor the most effective, but we found it one of the easiest to control. Advanced WindowsCare's simple interface offers two main options: Repair and Repair And Optimize. The former fixes Registry entries and cleans out your operating system. The latter does the same thing and tweaks Windows for maximum performance.

If you run into trouble, the Restoration option can return your system to its original configuration. The Advanced menu provides fine control over repairs and optimizations. On the downside, we noticed only one improvement on our test PC: a reduced amount of used RAM. Also, the program's brief descriptions of system problems may not satisfy seasoned users. And although the latest version of the app includes a help file, we wouldn't call it extensive.

Nevertheless, if your system is running sluggishly and you're considering reinstalling Windows, it wouldn't hurt to try this freeware package first.

    "Fast, Easy, Effective, and Free Optimization and Repair"

    by redemblem101 on February 13, 2007

    Pros: My computer boots faster, runs faster, new windows open faster, there is lower memory/cpu usage, faster webpage loading & internet connection, & no more blue screen errors or other program errors.

    The first time running it found:

    4 Spyware problems, 2000+ security problems, ~200 relevant & invalid registry errors, 30 optimizations, start up entries, & ~20MB in temporary & privacy files. Later scans mostly detect just registry & privacy/temp files problems unless you get spyware or new security issues arise.

    To go further in depth with what this program does: The spyware scan isn't phenomenal but does the job, the Security Defense scan immunizes you before spyware can even install, the registry scanner is highly sophisticated & frequently updated so that it easily compares with top products like Registry Mechanic, Iolo System Mechanic, & TweakNow RegCleaner, the start up scan finds start up entries & classifies known safe/unsafe entries, & the privacy & temporary files scans pick up junk or old files on your computer that slow it down or compromise your security. Best of all is the System Analysis Scan that finds Windows Services, visual effects, & settings that slow your computer.

    Cons: Spyware scan is minimal and there is no way to maximize the viewing window

    "Great utility on several levels."

    by 6herniations on April 9, 2007

    Pros: Scans/removes spyware/adware, cleans your registry, optimizes pc (not all optimizations on free level), clear junk and easy to use. It is very hard to find the ONE utility that can truly do it all but comparing this application to ONECARE it is much better.

    Cons: I am using Vista Home Basic and the scanning is noticeably slower than with XP Home. If your looking to get something positive out of something free, this is your download of choice. I will be watching this one and will be upgrading to the professional. Very nice.

    "The Best All in one freeware software! ! !"

    by phoenix1_852 on December 22, 2006

    Pros: I highly recommend this All in one freeware. It has Anti Spyware remover, Anti Spyware database that blocks any spyware that would try to come into your computer system while surfing the net. It has Registry cleaner and fixer. It has also system optimizer that set your computer to the most recommended setting to make it run fast. It has privacy cleaner, remove all posible traces after you surf the net so no need to worry if somebody would try to trace you down. It also has memory cleaner to free up some RAM for the program you are currently using. It is simply the best. DOWNLOAD IT NOW ! ! !

    Cons: NONE so far
