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.

Version: Advanced WindowsCare Personal 2.4.1.787
Pros: I got this first off for the security defense
to plug the holes that spyware blaster leaves as AWC 2 list is bigger/better..
since testing this for about a month now i have found i am using it more and more with NO PROBLEMS.
i have removed cc cleaner and use this , i have removed code stuff starter and use this.It is so much easer to use one app then several.
I have had no problems with the reg cleaner but ive only used it once as i don"t like to clean the reg to often anyway..
it is very easy to back up with there restore center it will also take you straight to windows system restore..
Cons: I can"t write about the cons this may have due to the amount of trolls cnet/download now have.
These low life sum are not happy to tick a review not helpful if they disagree with it they go through your profile and tick ALL your reviews not helpful.sometimes they create many acc so they can really kick you in the groin.
cnet/download choose to bury there head in the sand and hope the problem will go away..
well it wont if anything it is getting worse...
All cnet/download have to do is make it so you can only see your own profile !!!
