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 2.6
"top notch - required addition to your protection"
Pros: Yes this is everything you may have read about it already. I put this program first when trying to clean up any system. The second two with this program are regseeker and ccleaner. These three do more to clean up your system and protect you than anything you might find. Advanced windows care on most systems will get you cleaned up and working faster. The first thing to do when you get started is to go to the options selection in the upper right corner and do the updates. They do fairly regular updates and this will enhance the value this program offers. The value is invaluable and a must have in your security protection arsenal.
Cons: i think the basic interface could be better for the very basic and average user. the scheduler would be nice to get it to perform regularly without any intervention and being able to set the setting to check for the updates automatically as well. The average user will not do this regularly so scheduling this at startup of some other time would be a wonderful addition.
