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 1.01
"More of a hassle than a help"
Cons: This program completely erased most of my
start up processes and left my pc in disarray. I cannot recommend this product.

Version: Advanced WindowsCare 1.01
Cons: Think very carefully before letting this one loose. It arbitrarily disabled half the running services on the system. It completed removed the network and all network settings. It deleted all restore points, and turned off system restore on all drives. All of this on a single run - without any warning. Could not get the system back to it's former state; and no help from the Advanced WindowsCare (Intelli HyperSpeed 2005)with this - it could not undo what it had so devastatingly done. Had to format C:\ and do a complete system recovery. Wasted two full days getting things back to where I could do some work. I've seen some aggressive system cleaners/optimisers in my day but this one beats them all hands down. you have been warned!

Version: Advanced WindowsCare 1.01
Pros: Haven't found any
Cons: After running it, you have to reboot(if it finds problems). When I rebooted, it got as far as the "Welcome" screen, and kept rebooting on it's own. Not good ppl.
