CNET Editors' review
This tool takes a four-pronged approach to cleaning your system with mixed results. Evonsoft Computer Repair's too simple menu interface won't please advanced users looking for detailed information. However, novice users who trust the application need press only a single button to clean their computer.
On execution, Evonsoft Computer Repair immediately scans your system to identify spyware, Registry errors, privacy traces, and junk files. The app performs well at identifying junk files, but there is no method to save any from deletion. On the other hand, privacy traces are well listed by application. It's easy to uncheck items individually to save them from removal, but an option to uncheck them all would be helpful. Also, saving items from removal does not update a Problems Found number presented on the main interface. The Registry cleaner is less aggressive than many standalone apps, but that is consistent with an application aimed at novice users. The Spyware Removal function disappointed testers who found that the app missed many common problems.
Evonsoft Computer Repair is beneficial for less-experienced users looking for a simple cleaning tool. Save the spyware tool, Evonsoft Computer Repair gets rid of basic problems.

"Misleading"
Version: Evonsoft Computer Repair 1.0
Pros
Nothing, since they cannot be honest about who really owns the software.
Cons
Cannot be trusted.
Summary
This software claims to be from Evonsoft, but when you compare the wording and logos with software from Iobit, its pretty obvious they are one in the same. Also, when you try and email Evonsoft, the email will not go thru and bounces back like a bad check. Go to evonsoft.com and iobit.com and draw your own conclusions.
Why does Download.com have any program from Evonsoft(really iobit) available for download? The company does not have a working email address and the copyright date on the website is 2007 - 2009.

"Repairs are done but are temporary only and come back."
Version: Evonsoft Computer Repair 1.0
Pros
It doesn't repair the problems permanently.
Cons
Repairs are done quickly but they are temporary only. If you sign off and come back online most of the errors come back. It doesn't completely remove the errors/problems.

"Great idea, Vista compatibility is a lie"
Version: Evonsoft Computer Repair 1.0
Pros
It works like a snap, cleaning and reparing stuff. If you're running XP and into computer cleaning, this is good.

Not detailed enough on selecting what to clean. Settings not persistent from session to sessoin.
