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 2.5
Pros: I have reviewed many versions of Advanced WindowsCare, and this version continues its excellent reputation.
Cons: You have to continue to be careful not to delete something from the registry that you need. Also, this version doesn't update the side note, telling you to install an older version.

Version: Advanced WindowsCare Personal 2.5
Pros: I use lots of cleaners on my PC. But WindowsCare Personal found tons more. My machine was running really slow. Slow to boot . It took almost 5 minutes to load. Now it loads in less then 2 minutes. Can't say enough about it. I am going to share it with lots of friends.
Cons: The only suggestion I have for this program is to: Run each item by it's self. I did and this way YOU decide what you want to delete. Each item has it's own list if you look for it.
I don't like that you can't save the cookies that you go to all of the time. No set aside option.
