CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET staff on January 05, 2009
This easy-to-use and informative application cleans, configures, and optimizes your PC. Advanced WindowsCare Professional's interface dispenses with the bells and whistles to display commands and data without embellishment.
The install Wizard zips through the set up, querying the user on the PC's primary use and Internet connection type. Answer those two simple questions, choose from a short list of options, and you're ready to virus check and scan for spyware, registry errors, and start-up problems, or clean your PC of history and surfing traces. The app's strength is the detailed information the scan provides, which lists each item with a description of its value based on trustworthiness. Unknown items can be identified online or ignored. The Tools menu checks five primary areas of your PC for rogue processes, services, and incorrectly installed options.
Since registry entries are involved, we wish the fixes recommended were more detailed. The program includes a quick restore point option for system safety, but repairs can't be made in the trial edition, drastically circumscribing the app's effectiveness unless you buy it sight unseen. Advanced WindowsCare Pro's uncomplicated and straightforward usage is appreciated, but the since the main selling point has been cut off at the knees, we're hesitant to give this a more glowing recommendation.

Version: Advanced WindowsCare Professional 2.1.0.653
"Powerful, Safe, and Effective Optimization and Repair"
Pros: My computer boots faster, runs faster, new windows open faster, there is lower memory/cpu usage, faster webpage loading & internet connection, & no more blue screen errors or other program errors.
The first time running it found:
4 Spyware problems, 2000+ security problems, ~200 relevant & invalid registry errors, 30 optimizations, start up entries, & ~20MB in temporary & privacy files. Later scans mostly detect just registry & privacy/temp files problems unless you get spyware or new security issues arise.
To go further in depth with what this program does: The spyware scan isn�¢����t phenomenal but does the job, the Security Defense scan immunizes you before spyware can even install, the registry scanner is highly sophisticated & frequently updated so that it easily compares with top products like Registry Mechanic, Iolo System Mechanic, & TweakNow RegCleaner, the start up scan finds start up entries & classifies known safe/unsafe entries, & the privacy & temporary files scans pick up junk or old files on your computer that slow it down or compromise your security. Best of all is the System Analysis Scan that finds Windows Services, visual effects, & settings that slow your computer.
In the System Analysis there is Daily Use, Entertainment, & Top Performance. Business Users can select Office Work, Server, & Computing Computer Types. There is also a "General" computer type for those unsure. There are also internet connection types: DSL (cable, dsl, satellite), LAN, & Dial-Up as well as the "General" type.
There is auto update & auto scanning options for log off & scheduled times & extra tools for your computer like a memory cleaner & system information viewer. If you do find you like this product, try Advanced Spyware Remover by Evonsoft (same programmer, old website for programs that haven't been completed yet) & also try SmartDefrag from Iobit.com (This is still in Alpha testing but is very safe & effective)
Cons: Ok so now that you've sat through all the good stuff, here comes the ugly- although hardly any.
This is an All-in-One tool with the exception that SmartDefrag has not been integrated into the program yet and must be installed separately. The same goes for Advanced Spyware Remover- it is not integrated and there is a free version, but like other free versions of anti-spyware it does not function as well as the pro version (for example Ad-Aware personal VS. Pro). Also, there is now a support forum (see website) - you may chat by email or gtalk if you have it as well.
