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 2.2.1
Pros: This program does what it says,all in one click.It's a thorough scanner;it found a ton of errors upon first scan,and corrected them. It has a start-up manager,which tells you the programs that are trustworthy and unreliable to run at start-up,and allows you to disable them.One of the programs that was being run at start-up on my system was actually classified as spyware/virus!.What I also liked was the fact that memory was freed up after the scan,which is always great.Of course,you can manually optimize RAM with this program,if you so choose. 5 stars!
Cons: The only con with this program is that it's not free,otherwise,I recommend it highly.
