If you have absolutely no security or tweaking tools, then it might be worth taking a look at Advanced SystemCare. We didn't have any trouble opting for a one-click-fix solution for many of our computer "issues," but we took that option because of information overload. For example, the Windows 8 Process Explorer is a much more usable solution.Īdvanced SystemCare's user experience is a mixed bag. However, not all are better alternatives than their stock counterparts. Bottom Line:Īt first glance, Advanced SystemCare has everything you would think you'd ever need to keep a PC in tip-top shape: uninstallers, driver updaters, and so on. Even after uninstalling SystemCare, you're forced to uninstall each individual app separately. SystemCare's toolbox behaves more like a glorified stub installer for IOBit's other products than a true all-in-one program. Tedious uninstallation: Advanced SystemCare's setup is like a collection of shortcuts to other downloads.

Many tools are shortcuts to separate applications that are visually inconsistent and offer questionable value over default tools. Lackluster redesign: Claims of a Metro-friendly redesign amount to nothing more than color changes, font tweaks to a thinner sans-serif type, and icon packs. When in doubt, most users will probably opt for just that. One-click fix: Despite its daunting list of options, users shouldn't have trouble finding some kind of fix-all option.

Lots of tools: IOBit's everything-but-the-kitchen-sink approach to Advanced SystemCare means you're bound to find something useful for your machine in its massive library of tools, tweakers, and cleaners. It comes with a suite of optimization tools, including an uninstaller, one-click registry fixes, defragmenters, and more. Advanced SystemCare Free is a Swiss Army Knife of a PC utility.
