   Anyone that rates this at less than a 4 obviously has no idea what they're doing behind a computer, and probably should take up another hobby.
   That being said, *ANY* program that claims to 'clean your registry' or 'immunize your computer against threats' - should have the contents of what it's recommending to be changed, scrutinized carefully.
   
   I, along with thousands of other people that know what a computer is/does, have had absolutely NO problems with and of ASC's functions.
   This is a perfect program, does what it says, and I find it impossible to rate it at anything less than a 5.
   
   My only hope for Iobit, is that they won't let any of their softwares become bloated with add-ons. Perhaps a poll or vote on most-used add-ons would be in order?
   
   Anyway, anyone experiencing problems with ASC needs to have their computer rights removed indefinitely, as they blatantly don't know what they're doing.
   
   Good job, Iobit! Keep up the good work!

   A great fee program that I have bought the full edition in the past & might do now. Warning it is unsuitable for use by Apes or Chimpanzees!

   To: keish, leofelix, smurfberry & others who feel ASC destroyed their browsing or nuked their PC.
   
   This is excellent, free software. The problems you encountered were a result of blindly accepting all recommended changes to your system without checking to see what those changes were.
   
   Inability to open certain websites after using ASC was caused by your agreeing to "immunize" your system by blocking a list of thousands of tracking cookies, potentially harmful websites and ActiveX plug-ins. If you weren't willing to accept such "passive defense" restrictions to your browsing, don't accept them! Don't blame the software for doing the job it was designed to do. The software gave you an opportunity to review all changes before implementing them and even provided a mechanism to undo those changes.
   
   I agree with clifton. The registry and privacy cleaning functions are comparable to CCleaner and many commercial software products. I have used this product since its Beta stage and never needed to undo any changes,... but then I always review those changes before enabling them.
   
   "Software Informer" was another third party product that Iobit occasionally adds as a trial add-on in continual attempts to improve their products. Like other software and driver update products, these are strictly use at your own risk.

   One of the worst software I ever tried: it modifies your IE search engine, It installs "software informer", it can mess up your system.
   
   Terrible, unfortunately there is no 0 star option here

   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.
