    After over one year of my first evaluation of this program, I wanted to have a look newly to see if there is any positive evolution. After making a full backup of my test PC, downloading the program, installing and running it, I was not surprised to see the same old and unpleasant user interface. After scanning the registry the program offered to remove hundreds of records. In one-click my PC has become full of errors and missing links. In conclusion, the best approach to damage your PC irremediably in one-click is to use this program. The idea that you can clean your PC in one-click is completely stupid and extremely dangerous.
    Concerning the GUI, even after thousands of years of the invention of icons, the author of this program does not know yet how to use icons! Instead of writing harmful programs maybe he should study hieroglyphs.
    The authors of bad programs have taken the habit of having several names or even using slave names to rate their own software. Upon reading a 4 or 5 star evaluation you can guess immediately whether it is a genuine or a composition by a slave name. I guess that after this evaluation, a slave name will jump out with a 5 star evaluation.
    One star because there is no lower evaluation.

    I bought the full version of this. The jury is still out regarding the half-inching of Malwarebytes. It's a great program. One of my must have installs.

    xsnred I've been a 'Tech' for 15 years & happy to have this in my 'Virtual Toolbox' Just because a program has a few tools in it doesn't make it 'Babyware'. You overestimate yourself.

    The problem with Advanced System Care is that it is made by Iobit, which has been caught red-handed stealing Malwarebytes property:

    I find the software easy to use (love the memory manger), and very effective! I ended up upgrading to the Pro version.

    The programmers should not be able to rate their own software and badmouth the people who it did not work for. Personally I call it another all in one crap ware will fix it all with a click of a button.

    After using ASC PRO ( up to V.3.30), as well as many other "cleaner" programs, I find it to be a reliable program that can only be made better if its developers keep it from becoming tooooo big, and focus their attention on the basic need for good file and reg cleaning.

    What users need to realize is that ASC, like any similar program, can be very destructive if you don't make a point to set it up according to your system needs, most important is choosing options and using the "ignore list' in order to avoid loosing unprotected files/reg entries.
    This is often why people blame the program whenever something goes horribly wrong. I've had this argument many times with others that feel that the software should be non-destructive if you don't mess with the options menu, but that's simply impossible considering that all systems are basically unique as far as software/hardware configurations are concerned. The point is that if you find it too complex to set up then use a safer & less effective program. like that you won't have any major problems.

    As a result, you have to do a bit of work in order to tweak any program that you need to work well for you.
