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.

Publisher's description
From IObit :Slow down, freeze, and crash are over. Repair and fix your Windows with 1 click. Unlike other utility, Advanced WindowsCare does not do simple registry cleaning. It thoroughly examines Windows system, accurately detects the bottleneck for slowing down and crashing, and fixes them.

Version: Advanced WindowsCare 1.7
Pros: I was amazed at how fast this program found errors on my computer, and then fixed them. Some stuff I didn't even notice was wrong with my computer, but ever since I installed this it has been running like new (which says a lot seeing as it is 4 years old). Now my computer is running faster and more smoothly than ever. I can't beleive that it's free!

Version: Advanced WindowsCare 1.7
"Windows knows what it needs to run properly"
Pros: Quick & painless installation, checked my computer SUPER fast! Reported I had a lot of problems with my computer that are slowing it down but didn't really show or explain too much. Since my computer runs fine & doesn't crash, I decided to cancel the program & delete it instead. Since I didn't finish using this product, I can't really give it a accurate rating, but if your computer is running ok, I wouldn't use this.
Cons: Not much detail or explanations for results, not sure what it really wants to fix or optimize.
