Editor's review of Advanced WindowsCare Professional 2.8.1

3.0 stars

This easy-to-use and informative application cleans, configures, and optimizes your PC. Advanced WindowsCare Professional's interface dispenses with the bells and whistles to display commands and data without embellishment.

The install Wizard zips through the set up, querying the user on the PC's primary use and Internet connection type. Answer those two simple questions, choose from a short list of options, and you're ready to virus check and scan for spyware, registry errors, and start-up problems, or clean your PC of history and surfing traces. The app's strength is the detailed information the scan provides, which lists each item with a description of its value based on trustworthiness. Unknown items can be identified online or ignored. The Tools menu checks five primary areas of your PC for rogue processes, services, and incorrectly installed options.

Since registry entries are involved, we wish the fixes recommended were more detailed. The program includes a quick restore point option for system safety, but repairs can't be made in the trial edition, drastically circumscribing the app's effectiveness unless you buy it sight unseen. The app's uncomplicated and straightforward usage is appreciated, but the since the main selling point has been cut off at the knees, we're hesitant to give this a more glowing recommendation.

Version: Advanced WindowsCare Professional 2.8.1

"Very Good!"

by Homer Scarborough on July 29, 2008

Pros: My computer was starting to run slower and slower. A complete run through with this program resulted in it running about 300 times faster. It is much better than the C-Net review, although I understand their point. The difference is that I had the complete paid version, and it works very very good.

"Strongly disagree with CNET's review"

by Weyrmaster on July 22, 2008

Pros: This is awesome software, I've trusted IOBit for years and always will. Their products are worth a lot more than they charge, and they even offer totally free versions of this and other software as well. If CNET was too cheap to use anything more than the "trial" version of this software, how can they make such a comment without verifying it with the full program. There are no hidden charges with this software, once you buy it, it's 100% operable.

Cons: Ummmmmmm.......nothing
