Pros: Product URL: /Advanced-SystemCare-Pro/3000-2086_4-75628962.html

Issue Description: Once I purchased Advanced System Care on the iObit website, two phone numbers immediately appeared (on their site) stating that I must call one of the two numbers in order to get the activation code. Once I called the number, an agent stated that he must install a "technical support" applet in order to activate ASC. He asked me what version of Windows I was running and what browser I was using. Directions were given, and I started to lose control of your computer, almost immediately. He continued to alter major system settings until I had almost no more control of my computer anymore. I told him there was something suspicious going on, and he continued to assure me it was standard procedure. When I told him I was going to hang up the phone, he began begging me not to hang up. After returning to my computer, it was extremely slow and most programs didn't work anymore. Within a matter of twenty minutes, my entire computer was frozen. I had to restore an older version of my system, and lost extremely important photographs, documents, etc. It appears to have been ransomware. If you look on the reviews, you'll see that I'm not the first person to experience this. If iObit is unaware of this scam, then how do the scammers know someone just bought ASC, and why is the scammer's page the first thing to come up (immediately) after the purchase goes through? This is way too suspicious to just be a coincidence...

I've been very aware of this app for a long time, but never got drawn towards
it. There are So many snarls in the reviews, I decided to test this App.

# TEST ONLY #

I Made it portable & looked in the main App folder. I "DIDN'T" go any further than that. ffs.!! there are over 40 .exe files (apps) in there.
I know some of them will only be launched when using the program, but, going by the titles of some of the Apps, They are REALLY going to care for your system. (You know, "advanced like" lol. Like the title tells ya. "NOT"

This app will sink deep into your system. It will put Auto starts into your services. Dunno what will go into the registry, but it will certainly be a lot. All this bull about Tuning, & Boosting (should be called Busting).
If you want IObit to run your system, Install this proggy. If YOU like to be in charge of your own System. Give this a BIG miss..!! __ Sweet FA*

Got the main IOBit malware program as a limited time special offer. It's performed ok for the past couple of months, but I noticed recently it started popping up with more windows requiring actions. This made me a little suspicious that some unscrupulous crap might be coat-tailed amongst all the continue and/or dismiss buttons. But, I figured IOBits had a reputation they'd want to maintain and wouldn't stoop to that. Call it coincidence, but, a couple days ago a new program suddenly appeared on my computer called Advanced System Care. It had really intrusive and persistent pop-ups. I checked in the registry and it said it was made by IOBits. Thinking that conferred some credibility to ASC, I went ahead and ran the offered SCAN. Within less than 5 minutes the results came back that I had more than 89,000 file errors, threats, registry issues, malware hits, etc., etc. It looked like the UI had been designed to make one feel lucky their computer was running at all! And, good thing I ran this ASC SCAN thingie in the nick of time! Gimme a frikkin break. I uninstalled ASC and started checking around for forum reviews. Thanks Betanews contributors for confirming my suspicions.

Does anything BUT care and its online installer tries to hijack your browser, stay far away from this piece of SystemPlague.

Out of curiosity, I tried getting it, so I went to their homepage and saw that I need to download an online installer.

That never sits too well with me, so I submitted it to ThreatExpect.

It came back with some interesting results. According to them, the online installer calls "api.mybrowserbar.com" for whatever reason, so naturally upon seeing these results I went back and launched the online installer again to search if there's any mentioning of "mybb" somewhere in the installer.

Sadly there wasn't, not even a single hint that it might try and contact that address nor was there any button that allowed my to disable it.

Advanced System Care is simply the GREATEST tool. ANyone who complains about the Malware scan should just NOT use it and just use Microsoft Security Essentials (or Avast! or AVG). Anyone who has improperly deleted files they need simply should not use that function which is reserved only for PROfessionals (meaning paid-for helpers). But this remarkable software has SO MUCH to offer it's beyond belief. Sure, it should be used in conjunction with CCleaner, and proper Firewalls and Updates should be monitored. But Advanced System Care is the most valuable multi toolbox offered anywhere anytime anyplace. It's not only helped me repair my computer but has also taught me the ins and outs of computer anatomy. Five stars doesn't even suggest how terrific this invaluable software is. I LOVE IT !!

Vivek Kowshik reviewed v6.0.2.114 Beta 1.0 on Jul 18, 2012

I can see many of the guys here have had serious problems with this software, which I find not at all surprising. I noticed these problems myself a few months ago, after this software was updated and included a malware scanning option. This is the most likely source of the problem. I find this option shows a few false positives, and that too among system files.

Since I was very sure that my system was not infected, I disabled this option and opted not to clean my system, while all other options were enabled. I have not had any problem with the registry cleaner at all. All in all I find this a useful software, with many small utilities, but with some serious issues that need immediate attention. I use MS SecEss as my primary AV and Malwarebytes free as my secondary scanner. This has worked excellently for me.

cltx99 reviewed v6.0.2.114 Beta 1.0 on Jul 18, 2012

I installed it and thought, I can do so many things with one program. So, I did all of the scans and thought, wow! This thing is fast. However, I did a reboot and my computer was doing strange things. I rebooted again and the strange behavior continued.

Anyway, I uninstalled it and guess what? Everything was back to normal. It's really a nice looking program, but maybe too many tasks are stuffed into one great looking package.

nzwebbie reviewed v5.3.0.246 on May 31, 2012

Nightmare! Windows 7 32 bit running as a separate boot partition on Apple. Just downloaded the latest update and installed it. Ran a deep scan. The software made a backup to enable rollback. After doing a harddrive scan it found some issues and suggested I had to reboot after it fixed these.
After the system ran Windows checkdisk I was damned. Blue screen of death. Even a system repair which I ran twice couldn't resurrect my system. I had a backup image I made 2 weeks prior to this mishap which I'm now loading up with WinClone from my Apple partition. Hopefully this will enable me to get back to work. But from what I can see. You run a major risk in getting Advanced System Care to take Care of your system. Even though on the surface it really looks beautiful and polished. Don't say I didn't warn you!

Music4Ever reviewed v5.3.0.246 on May 31, 2012

Registry cleaning can help to a degree, the problem is that issues can often arise some time after removing an entry when someone finds a control panel applet does not work or a system .dll is orphaned & a rarely used program does not work correctly.

It can be very time consuming to sort such issues out & for many will require a re-install of Windows. The MS Windows registry is huge & removing minuscule 'so called problems' does absolutely nothing to aid the performance of a PC.

@lightway ~ This program is not aimed at pros & that is the problem 99% of people using this program will not have full images backed up, I mess with the registry frequently but I also have dozens of C:\ images. The average user of such a free program as this will not have - I therefore feel the best form of so called 'idiot protection' is simply not to install this program.

If really you know what you are doing you will be either editing the registry manually or using a far more advanced program than this. There are reasonably safe registry editing cleaners that err on the side of caution or registry programs have highly specific uses that can be useful to advanced Windows tinkerers when used correctly - This however is not one of them.

Supposed Increases of performance of 10% are intriguing, how was this measured exactly?

'Advanced SystemCare Free (formerly Advanced WindowsCare Personal) has a one-click approach to help protect, repair, clean, and optimize your PC.'

You cannot ever have a one click approach when editing the registry or any in depth PC cleaning ~

bleh, getting a 1 for the false reviews. Everyone I know who has used this piece of crap spamware has removed it.

lightway reviewed v5.2.0.223 on May 27, 2012

I use the pro version because this is a program that does what it says, but it is not idiot proof. It is serious software that can do what a lot of lesser programs cannot. But that comes with a price. It can fix or it can destroy based on what you do. The most dangerous program is the registry cleaner, because it will find problems others cannot. But that does not mean you should delete every entry that has a problem. Always review details before deleting registry entries. The "damage level" is NOT what the entry will do if left on your computer, it is what REMOVING the entry will likely cause if you do. Never remove "high" damage level components without knowing which ones you can remove safely. Read the help files and manual before using. This is not a program that should be learned by the seat of your pants, like so much other software is. But for those who are willing, it is a valuable program that will keep your computer functioning at high efficiency. i gave a rating of 4, instead of a 5, not because the program was not effective, but because I think that it could be made a little more "idiot proof" than it is.

I down loaded this and played with it for about a week then took it off, The malware cleaner is a waste of time, I ran it a few times then ran SUPER anitspyware and what do you know, advanced system care missed 15 infections. The auto defrag doesn't work well, after a week of letting it run in the background I then ran Defraggler and my hard drive as still 7% fragmented. CCleaner found 6.25 Mbytes of files that the disk cleaner missed. There is no real advantage to this program, if you use it you still need to have other programs to clean up what it doesn't. I removed it this morning.

Psychlone reviewed v5.0.0.0 Beta 3 on Oct 24, 2011

I've used this program since it's inception, and it's come a LONG way.
While their tactics on the whole MBAM thing may or may not be legitimate, THIS program works as intended without stepping on anyone's toes and in fact is one of 3 programs that I actually trust in my business to help mitigate problems that my customers have created.

ASC alongside CCleaner Enhanced, the olden ATF Cleaner and the even older Spider are all I need to remove every bad monkey from a client's system.

ANYONE that's using this program - or any program like it - to "speed up their system" ...is using it wrong. ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS look at what it's wanting to remove - go through *every* line and see if the removal is justified, see if every registry change is needed and if not, simply uncheck it.
Thing is, these programs can (and often are) the exact reason for most people's problems. Most people install and run registry cleaners and memory boosters because they've been lead to believe that they will increase their system speed, making it more efficient, etc. - but those in the know, know better.

These tools are very valuable for what they do - clean up residual junk. And this tool in specific, has yet to leave a system I've run it on (in the hundreds) crippled in any way.

The new ASC 5 Beta 3 loads up quicker, scans faster, and has found several entries that even v4 wasn't capable of finding, and for that, I give it 4 stars.
That elusive 5th star is reserved for the day that Iobit (or someone) creates a program that not only gets rid of all the junk in a system (including ALL the INDEX.DAT files) with a DOD9 wipe, but also is able to find every registry entry for every program that's been uninstalled and no longer needed. To date, no program has accomplished this feat, but ASC is getting closer.

IMO, if ASC were to incorporate the extendability of CCleaner Enhanced AND the ability to remove index.dat files like Spider, it will be even closer to that 5-star mark.

Overall, ASC has grown up to be quite the useful tool and I'm not ditching it any time soon.

Advance SystemCare has made me feel secured and in full control of my computer. It gave me a very convenient means of regular maintenance and repair especially that I use my computer everyday. It has allowed me to gain maximum advantage and usage of my computer. I would love to see more innovations from the developers of this amazing software.

Hopelessly in search of a cleaning and repair toolkit to optimize my PC performance since I'm an addicted gameplayer, iternet surfer and blogger.
I found lots of tools but they always made my windows crash eventually some way or another.
I discovered this tool on a compile disc of PC magazine (dutch) and tried it out. In a few months time I was convinced this was the best the market could offer me atm.

At first till I ran the software on some old XP junkers, I used and built from parts and Honest to God they acted like they were newer. Faster and not sluggish anymore I was amazing the registries had 100's of problems hundreds of spyware and Malware just all sorts of messed up in my PC's Software .And Advanced Care Done it's thing found the 100's issues and fixed them and the PC ran smoother than it did when i first built them, and this was the free version of this software. Not Kidding the PC's Ran so smooth it was like getting new tires on your car. Thank Again!!!

It helps me to improve the performance of PC by taking care of the maintenance needs. When there are multiple threats found in the system, I can easily repair the damage up to 10 issues per click which can be great time saver.

Advanced SystemCare PRO is s piece of junk; added trash to my hard disk, rather than clean space. Isn't functional and can't be completely deleted once downloaded. Save your money - it won't be refunded. Find cCleaner...it's free and it actually works.

tenseeker reviewed v4.0.1.200 on Jun 22, 2011

Such a bad program that I went through the registration process on this site just to write a review for this.

At first, I thought this was a pretty neat program, until I downloaded Malware Fighter. Seriously, that program was crap. Then I started getting suspicious of this program and how my computer kept crashing and breaking all the time. So when I reinstalled my computer, I didn't get this program, and now my computer is faster than it ever was with this program.

Don't get it, unless you wanna break your computer.

A great program, and getting slowly better. However, there is one exception: the defrag module is totally and completely useless. It comes up with 368 files that need to be defragged, then it pretends to be 'fixing' them. The next day I run it, it comes with 732 fragmented files, although I have not used the computer, and not one single file was touched!

I have used ASC for two years now on XP Pro, Vista 32, Vista 64 bit, Windows 7 Pro, Windows 7 Enterprise and it has always performed reliably and impressively. Others who see me use it quickly want to have it. Its disk cleaning utilities, access to MS utilities through its GUI make it convenient and fast to use. It optimizes and defrags well. I use it on my home PCs as a supplement to other free software protection tools such as CCTools, SuperSpyWareAntivirus and Windows Defendor to protect my PC (not including Anti-virus and firewall software).
ASC is impressive and I love it.

Psychlone reviewed v4 Beta 1 on Dec 9, 2010

First of all, the program has always worked well on every computer I've run it on, but the new Beta 4 crashes in several areas when run on ANY computer I've tried it on.

The registry cleaner is a bit on the harsh side for Win 7. Registry cleaners are not needed like in the days of XP as MS has made several changes.

Overall I like this program in my toolbox & have used it for years. As regards 'Aimp' & associations I haven't had a problem but as we all have different combinations of hard/software it could be a bug. As far as I know ASC has never caused me a problem. I'll keep on eye on 'Aimp' though.

dotnetnightmare reviewed v3.6.1 on Jul 3, 2010

Trying out Pro 3.6.1. Autocare runs and then I have lost file association for my audio files with AIMP2. Odd. I searched their forums and no mention of it yet. Might be specific to my software configuration and players of choice. Keep an eye out for this and let's see if it's reproducible for any others. Also I find the incorporation of so many tools that others have perfected to be a draw back. Your Uninstaller is the best. Spybot is the "immunizing" shiznick. Iobit's Smart Defrag is the best and lightest for optimizing file placement. The so called System Optimization of this is mainly disabling Windows services and for that Black Viper's guide for Windows 7 services is best. As a file cleaner it's average, it's registry cleaner is not all that SAFE. This really is a "NOOBS" program, they don't know the difference yet. I still find the knew Auslogic Boostspeed to be better at producing a "feelable" difference. It's new interface is an improvement on what TuneUP Utilities started. Computers like my damn car know and I can tell when something just doesn't feel right.

I've use the Free and Pro. Now I am on the Pro. There still a glitch on netbooks as the software doesn't show-up in the system tray. I only have this issue on netbooks not on laptops nor desktops. Crazy they all run the same OS either 32-bit or 64-bit W7U. Other than that the software does perform very well indeed. I also use Windows Optimizer 6 but that doesn't go all the way like ADC does. I also use Tune-up Utls 2010. I still think that one hose down the system. I can tell you feature that's on ADC that's not on TU2010 then is the fact you can disable system resources that are using a lot of memory on netbook. ADC Turbo Mode is much better then TU2010 version of it. Anyway I use IOBIT Smart Defrag 1.45 with ADC 3.5.1x they works perfect together. Since ADC has features like Spyware Blaster does there is no need to use SB either. ADC supports better features for keeping spyware off the system under browser surfing and supports Google Chrome where as SB doesn't.

Input Overload reviewed v3.5.1.707 on Apr 6, 2010

The memory load of ASC is 6,6464k, hardly worth a mention, 0 when not actually loaded. I've used this software for many years & yes I do fit it on PC's I care for. it's never caused me or others any issues,. Just because it has multiple uses does not in my opinion make it of no value. Worst of all I still use Vista on my main new DELL PC, which at idle runs at .85 of a GIG which is fine. I use several open source utils for defragging etc which & keeps my PC's lean & mean.

alalec, if you tried this on your 'test machine' what did you have to lose by letting the reg cleaner delete it's finding & then compared performance & found any issues this program created?,This would have been beneficial to all who read this, including me & the other testers. if you don't not thoroughly evaluate a piece of software on a 'test machine' or one with images backed up whats the point in even loading it. Therefore your findings were never completed & are of little value? Ramblings of icons & interface are of little or no value in a free piece of software which seemed to be your main gripe.

Mr. Input. If you are a tech, which I have no doubt you are one, I don't understand why you would use this type of software. If you are evaluating it for beginners and giving it a 5 for them, then excuse me. Please tell me what the overhead is on this software. My system is tweaked and lean and I do it myself. Most of it is thru the registry and with some small free utilities that use no resources at all. I have no doubt that this software works well and I respect your input on it. Again I give it a 5 for the solitaire players.

Still very pleased with this program, gets better all the time & the registry cleaner is the only one I have used that doesn't trash my Serif applications. Brilliant program after many years of use.

alalec: BTW I rather like the interface & this program has not caused any issues with my new DELL. Or the one I used as a desktop before it that had one install of Vista, which was made on day one & sold a few weeks ago still running well & with the original install. If your somewhat brief encounters with this program caused you problems could you let everyone know specifically what the problems were? I await your answer.

alalec reviewed v3.5.0 on Feb 3, 2010

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.

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!

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.

rodny335 reviewed v3.3.1 on May 1, 2009

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.

Psychlone reviewed v3.3.0 on Apr 28, 2009

Lol...

I have this program on 14 different machines, all with different flavors of Windows operating systems, all with different hardware and all with different uses - and I've yet to experience a single problem.

In fact, this is the *only* program that I absolutely trust. Most registry scanners will destroy your Windows registry and leave you with nothing but your backup image to resort to...but not ASC. It's never removed anything that's used at all, and only if you're absolutely stupid would you just click CLEAN without looking through the services registries it wants to change the values of (Diagnose System > System Optimization) - other than those specific user-unique settings (that obviously will be different for each individual user's needs), there's not a single thing that this program will screw up.

I've been using this since it's inception without a problem.

Good job Iobit!

About input for the program, I would like to see the links to Game Booster and Smart Defrag be able to determine if you've already got it installed (even in a different location than default - using registry entries?) and simply open the program instead of taking you to the Iobit download page to acquire them.

I would also like to see the Driver Update function come back...but in a new form. It should simply use Google to point you to the correct page based on information polled about the hardware. (i.e. ASC should determine what hardware the system is running, then using that, give you the option of what drivers to update, then dump you out right at Google with the relevant information already in the search.) - this would be much easier than maintaining a database of all relevant drivers for every possible combination/system, and would require only a basic knowledge of what hardware the user has.

On a side note, the program should be skinable, or come with some extra choices...I'm sure not everyone has a desktop that ASC would compliment with it's white or black skins.

Other than those things, everything about this program is spot-on.

alalec reviewed v3.3.0 on Apr 28, 2009

This program is very dangerous for any PC. It also lacks logic, has an ugly illogical user interface, and tries to install unwanted adware. Though the icon concept/function has been used for more than 5000 years, it appears that it is not yet fully understood by some people living today. If you are able to install this program without any problem it means that your PC is not protected and not safe! But the real problem is worse; that is when the program starts to “scan/discover“ your PC and clean it !!!. I don’t want to be long about the outcome; the only advice is: BE CAREFUL AND KEEP A FULL BACKUP OF YOUR SYSTEM. I can assure you that this is the only program which was able to damage fully my Windows Explorer (using Vista). Though there is an installer, it does not remove every thing. In summary instead of fixing and cleaning your PC this program infects your PC. It is only a bad design, I can't believe that it was designed to harm. One star, only because there is no lower rating!

JWvanLohuizen reviewed v3.1.0 RC4 on Nov 29, 2008

This piece of crap used to be good. They kept adding all these features and promising it to be really great and fully automated. Now I have installed it on over 30 of my friends PCs and most are really peeved that it is taking up hard disk space and it is of no use, after I gave up my good name and assured them it was great and FREE.

You see like most pc users, they only have time for email and bills and if it stops working they take it to someone to fix or they call me. "Windows update, Adaware update, didn't I just do that?" It's been weeks or moths and they just forget. Well if they are conned into installing crap like this that gives them the false sense of security because it goes on and on about what it does, and provides security, when in actuality it only works during the beta period and now that it is released it just sits there doing absolutely nothing except looking pretty and taking valuable hard drive space. (Not everyone has 100gb of free space.) They, like me, feel duped in a bait and switch tactic to get lots of free testing and then try to steal their hard earned money. Most people are not computer professionals and can't afford to waste their time and money on greedy hacks.

Just PASS on this one. It's another Norton wanna be.

If you have it installed, just uninstall it and keep your junk files empty and your AV program up to date. The rest is just a waste of time!!!

i installed the advanced care3 and test the program for one thing only, the defragmenter. I analyze my disk with windows defragmenter and diskeeper then i ran the advanced care3 defragmenter prog. it took only 5 min to defragment my drive. i have to say that my disk was really fragmented. then i analyze again with diskeeper and the windows defragmenter programs and i found out that my drive was as fragmented as before so it seems that advanced care3 did nothing. I ran diskeeper and it took at least half an hour to defragment my hole disk. Make the test and you will see. I was very disappointed so far.

net_junkie reviewed v3.1.0 RC2 on Oct 10, 2008

Because of the bad reviews, I felt I needed to add my review.

The change from "Windows Care" to "System Care", along with the redesign, was a good one. This new incarnation has better tools, and cleans more thoroughly than it's predecessor. I maintain 6 PCs, (one Vista, five XP). Unlike the users who posted reviews here, I have never had an issue concerning what System Care removed. I'm suspicious as if they are real reviews, or that these individuals did something wrong, or had major underlining issues with their machines. System Care asks you to back up your OS and your registry. Did you not do this? If you had, your system wouldn't have been "screwed up" to the point of not being recoverable. Also, the program shows you how to see a detailed list of what it has identified for removal. You can uncheck anything that you want to keep if you think System Care has made an error. Did you look at your lists before saying "repair"? Furthermore, you can undo changes the program has made. Did you try to undo these changes?

Why, with all the computers I have used this on did I not have an issue? With everything I have shown here, it seems "user error" is to blame and not the program itself, or they are simply fake reviews to defame the product.

In the end, I can only tell you that I think the redesign of System Care has made it better, and that I have had no issues at all. I recommend it.

They have tried to advance this too fast and with too much vista bling. The older versions worked.

Besides that, they are the hardest people to get a hold of... you can go to their forum, not much help there...
I know they just had that earthquake there, but lack of support was happening way before that.

Bring it back to the way it was, simple and effective, and I will allow it on my machines again. And for the love of software, get rid of that disk defragmenter. You obviously don't understand how one should work.

All of the versions of this program I have tried un-register your archiver programs and re-registers zipfldr.dll. The port opening problem is a pain but any good firewall can stop it. Face it, if you want support you'll probably have to buy the paid version. I prefer to use programs that allow me to manually operate them and have complete control over them, hence I don't use their de-frag program either.

The "other" version is much better (version 2) to understand and operate. Now with version 3 you need a map to get around all the options.

Oh yea... and what's with all the shortcuts to IObit? desktop, start menu, bookmark... c'mon dudes! (this actually started in version 2)
Not to mention that it brings you to their web site when you uninstall it.

Why does Iobit consider betanews a spyware risk site and try to block its cookies in the Security Defense?
I broke silence and installed this new version on my test box just to see... Version 2 is still better than 3. The older version 2 was the best. Iobit is going backwards. Their new defragger has had big problems yet its automatically active in this beta. Are they just trying to fry as many harddrives as they can in order to take over the world?
I'm giving it a low score mainly because the developers and people over at Iobit won't communicate.. won't answer tech support questions.. and now makes me wonder if they don't block betanews cookies so unsuspecting people can't log in here to post a comment.

I have to admit I preferred the package when it would actually just Update instead of forcing a new download all the time, as it has been recently. Their reason? Not really much improvement in the software per say, but instead so they can push Toolbars on you. At least thats what it seems like to me. Yes they still allow an Opt out of it immediately without adverse effects. However its still do we really need to download a new engine Every few weeks? Why not just update the signatures as they used too? That simple reason for me has been a reason I have held off getting the Pro paid version, cause I honestly do not know how reliable they are going to stay with this trend.

The tool itself is a good alternative to a Norton systemworks or MS onecare, whatever. There seems like there are dozens of them now of various quality. This one seems the best of the free ones thus far.

This cleans up so much I just can not tell you everything it does. Even issues when you funk up the IE interface because of a bad uninstall of Yahoo, Google, wild tangent or other such unwanted services from your browser... Instead of going through all the Registry entries to fix it manually; this does it in one scan and fix.

It is very difficult to find unbiased reviews. Sometimes the best solution is to download the individual components such as Antivirus, Firewall, Antispy/malware etc.
Note:
-Many Routers have NAT and do NOT need a software firewall (to verify, you can google "test firewall" if you can't confirm with your manual)

A little known solution is to use Firefox with the add-on "NoScript"; I've tested this extensively. Many of the worst problems come from clicking on a website and IMMEDIATELY having code screw up your computer EVEN WITH THE BEST SOFTWARE PROTECTION.

NoScript works best by automatically blocking most of the webpage's links until you authenticate they are okay. I can't stress enough how important this is. I was shocked how well it works. I used all the main programs (demos that work 100%) and NONE of them managed to block 100%. I went to a couple sites that I knew had malware/adware and I was infected ALWAYS except with NoScript (which is free).

*Before you surf too much, I recommend using a program like Acronis True Image and make backup Image of your Windows partition (usually Cdrive). On High Compression, most people need 2 or 3 of the 4500MB discs. AKA DVD5 or single-layer DVD, which comes in DVD-R or DVD+R. If in doubt, LG burners and Verbatim DVD-R or +R are ideal. (get a dual-layer burner.)

Educate yourself. Wikipedia is a great resource.

I was a bit sckeptical with this Advanced WindowsCare from IOBit.
Lets be blunt here, it claims it can do a lot of good stuff, but if it does it to your PC and reduces your PC to a door stop, then it is totally worthless. That was my doubtful approach to using it.
I made an "image" of my hard drive (just to be on the safe side, if anything happened) and installed Advanced WindowsCare (AWC) from IOBits.
After cautiously running each module (and viewing the "problems" it found), letting it "fix" those problems, I have to admit that my sckepticism was not warranted.
The program functions as they say it does ... it WORKS.
I am NOT paid to endorse this product and I am in no way connected to the company, however, when a piece of software functions properly, it needs to get the accolades it deserves.

LET'S STATE THIS:

it may not be the best at every area it tackles, but IT'S A SAFE A PROGRAM, IT DOESNT DELETE ANY IMPORTANT REG ENTRY NOR FILE, AS MANY OTHER SPECIALIZED PROGRAMS DO. You can give this to your friends or a newbie and it won't screw anything! All those registry cleaners out there always delete more than the account.

ITS A SAFE CLEANING SOFTWARE BY DEFAULT, and that plused with the vast cleaning it does, deserves a definite 5. However, file cleaning is very poor, maybe it waits a few days after deleting temp files (as ccleaner does) but i don't really think that's the case, so 1 point down.

I've spoken! ;)

RWW reviewed v2.5.1.798 on Jun 25, 2007

What was refered to as cleaning things you do not wish to be changed was using the system optomization section of the scan. If your system is tweaked, registry changed, etc. then you do not wish to run this part. Just uncheck it. Anyone not taking the time to read and see what they are changing in their machine should not be using this type of software. I recommend this software to people all the time but advise them of this.

I highly recommend the freeware version of Advanced Windows Care -- it noticeably improves system performance and is ultra easy to use.

I specialize in system hardening and optimization and after installing and running AWC found that 3 previously installed pieces of software that had been acting buggy all of a sudden started working perfectly

Pros:
Simple, intuitive and clean. Runs quickly and has a simple fix it path.

Cons:
The section on deciding which startup programs to not use, is not very clear. I ended up choosing the wrong things to not have at startup time, and the things I didn't want to continue have in the startup path. It needs a clear description to 'check the things you want to have included in startup.'

Decent little program. Simple and clean interface, but it does nothing I can't do with freeware utilities, and those will automatically update without requiring purchase. I am not giving this program a 4 because of the money though, it just doesn't feel robust enough to deserve a 5.

planetrj reviewed v2.2.1 on Nov 24, 2006

I've read many complex and often incomprehensible explanations and reasoning for various MS Windows repair/cleaners, and so I have decided to post in very simple terms for those who are not-so savvy on computers.
Over the past few years, I probably have installed and tested far too many Windows "Fix" softwares than one computer should handle. However, IObit offers a refreshing version of the new generation "All-In-One's" with their WindowsCare 2.
WC2 is very simple and an easy tool to use which can clean the registry, perform many 'fixes' which may cause your computer to run slowly, perform sweeps on temp files, privacy, and even find holes and leaks in your system's security.
All of these are available in many products, but I do not believe all of the items that WindowsCare 2 offers are in one single tool as yet, which in my mind means less time executing files and waiting for one to finish then open another to begin.

IObit offers a free personal version, and is well worth trying out a few times. You have the ability to backup your registry as well, so if
you make a mistake (or the program does), you may use your previous configuration, should anything get messed up.

So far, I have not experienced any issues with the program, and if anything, my computer had over 3,000 issues fixed, and is now opening new windows faster than it has in over 6 months.

democlees reviewed v2.2.1 on Nov 22, 2006

Not a bad program for a home user, but be very careful if you're a business user/domain user.

Most of the registery items it found on my system are actually totally legitimate and should not be removed or changed. They will break applications. The rest are unneeded registry entries, however they would have no effect on system performance if removed.

All of the speed optimizations come from modifying the UI settings, which reduce visual appeal of XP.

It is a _must_ to create a restore point before running this application.

I uninstalled all the $#@! that came with it (AOL, Napster, MSN.. the usual cast of characters), set up my cable modem, wireless network, other new machine, installed Firefox, didnt like it, uninstalled it, my version (licensed!) of M$Office2003 hung the machine; I had to do two System Restores, uninstall the "sample trial version" of M$Office2003 that came with it, reset up everything again, etc. I use Spyware Blaster, Spybot, AdAware, ZoneAlarm, Google toolbar / Popup blocker (with no feedback sent to Google), everything to keep my machine clean.
Advanced WindowsCare simply and beautifully blocked tons more of adware, got rid of about 1/3 of my registry - keys unneeded for such stuff as AOL, made a number of tweakes, and my machine runs so fast and smooth and clean, it is a dream come true.
THANK YOU!

siliconman01 reviewed v2 Beta 3.5 on Aug 17, 2006

Have been utilizing the Beta version for a number of weeks now.
1. Developers are very responsive to recommended changes, bug fixes, and new features.
2. It found and repaired a significant number of system level errors in settings (XP-SP2 HE). Did see an improvement in system responsiveness following the fixes.
3. The system Services section should not be taken at face value for its recommendations. There are some services that a user may have disabled totally, but AWC may recommend that they be either Manual or Automatic. The newly revised "Ignore" list permits the user to tell AWC to always ignore these services.
4. The price for the PRO version seems very reasonable considering it permits utilization on up to 3 computers.
5. The GUI is easy to use and understand. A novice computer user should be able to comprehend what AWC is recommending for fixing.

I would recommend it for users who do not already have a number of comparable utility programs installed and in use. I've not seen any conflicts with other utility programs; but there is or may be, as always, a lot of overlap between such programs. Based on what the program is designed to do and how effectively it does those functions, I give it a 5 rating.

Another thing that Norton and me had a real bad time at was when I had a computer crash Those update icons you have in the system to re download what a joke Norton wouldn't even let me update known programs that I had a license for that were still within the warremty period SO bye Bye Norton

3) Well after task bar icons and running programs wiped out even after I had told it not to am back fron a recovery (norton save & restore) and will rate this program a -(negative)5 for a irresponsible and devastating program!

2)After having this "thing" clean up I am left with only 2 programs running in my start bar.
I had told program not to remove them and now they are gone...gone...gone!

As for previous rating of a 4 for Balloon Tips being restored this program gets a 1 (ONE) for wrecking a system that was working just fine.

Am experienced/pro user and default settings of this program will toast you and recommend "NOT" to use this!

1) This does do what it says but will get a 4 because it wants to turn Balloon Tips back on.

I will say though this program is not for the novice and could cause system problems for people with the amount of corrections in the registry it want s to do.
A careful look through the list had 3/4 of them turned off from correction.

Considering I run Norton System Works to figure out my problems (which i do manually and supervise each correction)I was surprised at the amount of so called problems it found as well as suggested cures for sytem performance like turning Balloon Tips on.

Do not turn this loose on a novice and do do a backup before using this program.

This is not freeware. You have to pay for the subscription to it.

Great and easy to use program.

I've been using previous versions of this for quite a long time. Nice to see it appear on FileForum.
