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 1.6
Pros: Does what it says it does. Helped repair some problems i didn't know I had.
Cons: The only problem I have with it is that it keeps wanting to optimize my system when I just want it to repair. I use it now as a last chance repair.

Version: Advanced WindowsCare 1.6
Pros: I'm an average home user,the program worked as stated.I did as the readme file said to do and I also disconnected my dsl and shut down my firewall. The negative reviews said the restore points turned off but that did not happen with me.I use visualizations on my windows media player and I believe they were much sharper.In reading the probems, I saw that anything it corrrected was reversible but I had no issues.I think the problems others may have had were due to running programs at the same time like the firewall.
Cons: so far so good.
