Advanced SystemCare

Advanced SystemCare is an all-in-one yet easy-to-use software to clean, optimize, speed up, and protect your PC and your privacy. The powerful 1-click approach helps you easily clean up junk files, leftovers, and invalid shortcuts, sweep privacy traces, remove spyware threats, accelerate Internet speed, manage startup items, and fix system weakness & security holes.

Advanced SystemCare Free

Advanced SystemCare Free, Pro and Ultimate are three programs for the Windows operating system designed to manage, optimize and protect PCs.

All programs are compatible with all recent and not so recent versions of the Windows operating system starting with Windows XP.

Advanced SystemCare

Installation

Advanced SystemCare displays several options during installation. First of all, it will install the company's Driver Booster software if you don't uncheck the option.

Additionally, it allows you to change the installation folder and block the creation of a desktop shortcut.

The program installer itself has a size of about 40 Megabytes, and installation itself is uneventful and without surprises.

The installer will display an option to subscribe to the IOBit newsletter in the end which you can skip with a click on "give up my privileges".

The main program interface is launched afterwards, as is a "thank you" page on the IOBit website.

The Program

 

Advanced SystemCare loads the "Clean & Optimize tab by default. You may use it to run a quick scan of the system based on selections displayed at the bottom of the screen.

The default scan checks for spyware, Registry and file junk, traces, broken shortcuts, and runs the Internet Boost module on top of that.

You may add other components to it, for instance a disk scan, Registry defragmentation, or disk optimization. 

The scan may take some time depending on the selected components and the performance of the PC.

You can check a box here to have the program fix all issues found automatically, but that is usually not a good option.

A summary of the program's findings are displayed in the end. The PC's security, performance and stability is rated by Advanced SystemCare based on the scan results.

Before you hit fix, which will fix all selected issues (which means all issues by default), you can click on components to find out more about the problems discovered during the scan.

Additionally, you may uncheck issues so that they are not fixed, or change the action the program will undertake when you hit the fix button.

Speed Up

 

The Speed Up tab displays four tools/options to improve the performance of the system:

Turbo Boost: This mode, when enabled, tries to improve performance by stopping background apps and services, and releasing RAM. It ships with three modes (work, game, economy), of which you can select one with a click on configure. There you find options to select services, apps and other settings that you want turned off or enabled when the mode is activated.

Startup Accelerate

Analyzes startup programs and suggests to disable startup for items you don't require at all times to speed up system start.

Deep Optimization

Suggests optimizations for hard disk, network and system items to improve performance.

App/Toolbar Cleaner

Launches IOBit Uninstaller. You can use the program to remove programs, toolbars and plugins from the PC.

Protect

 

Protect is the first tab that displays Pro-only features (if you click through from left to right). The three options provided for free users are the following ones

DNS Protect

Protects DNS settings to prevent malware from modifying these settings.

Win10 Reinforce

Suggests to turn off some features of Windows 10 such as Connect User Experiences and Telemetry, letting apps use an advertising ID, or Remote Assistance Services.

Surfing Protection

Protects against various online threats.

The toolbox lists a collection of tools that you can run separately. Some of the tools are already used by other sections of the application.
