Version: Advanced WindowsCare Personal 2.5.7.941
Pros: This version, like previous versions, continues to work great, but "Security Defense" takes very long to scan, only to later repair "No Problem."

"eliminates registry errors, not create them"
Pros: I was hit w/ 8 trojans & the upteen malware, etc from couple of bad torrent downloads. After finally cleaning out my pc w/ the help of a good tech from Trend Micro, I installed & tried CCleaner to clean out my cache & registry which doesn't provide info on whats it's cleaning. Next thing I knew I couldn't open my fav softwares w/ out a bunch of missing files & error windows popping up. CCleaner's backup didn't help, then I remembered reading somewhere on cNET where Advance WindowsCare's restore feature saved someone w/ a similiar problem from an over-aggressive registry cleaner. Sure enough, AWP saved the day! That was the second time their restore feature came thru for me & I've never, EVER had problems after using AWP. I'm not experimenting anymore & just sticking w/ TuneUp Utility & AWP.
Cons: ...the only thing that disturbed me about AWP is that it only had one update in the 6, 7 months I've had it, so how does it keep up on the latest spyware attacks for it's security features? With Trend Micro's new super upgraded 2008 suite I really don't need the security features anymore & definetly don't need Lavasoft's AdAware anymore so I guess I should no longer be disturbed *sigh*
Summary: null

Version: Advanced WindowsCare Personal 2.5.7.941
Pros: Does as advertised and really does a good job. Have not had to run restore yet. Not to agressive as some are.
Cons: Before you run it, uncheck the start up programs box! Pretty much stops the start up programs you want and you have to reset them. Other than that...GREAT!
I think we can use task manager to stop the start up programs we don't want manually. This pogram gives you no choice unless you uncheck that box..

Version: Advanced WindowsCare Personal 2.5.7.941
Pros: Intuitive, easy to use. I have been using this application on my computers for some time now and I have had no problems with it.
Cons: The application finds and corrects so many problems so frequently that it makes one suspicious whether it really is finding and correcting all these problems. I don't detect any performance improvement after scanning and correcting 30 or 40 problems. On the other hand, if it is finding and correcting all these problems, it is one SUPER program. I don't have any scientific way to test whether it is spam or a cyber miracle.
