Editor's review of Advanced WindowsCare Personal 2.6

- "Give your OS some personal care"
- Version reviewed: Advanced WindowsCare Personal 2.6
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
Pros: Does a very good job for a free utility. Does make a mistake or two, but the restore feature negates that. Even the paid apps make mistakes too!
I am refering to the registry cleaner function. The rest are supurb.

"As per prior review - great!!!"
Pros: I like everything about this program. It's fast at scanning. It finds a lot of junk both in the registry, and in the temp files. I really appreciate being able to use this on an almost daily basis. I don't use the defrag because I have Auslogics defrag and am very happy with that. And I don't have to restart as I would have to with the AWC defrag.
