Other description is
Here’s a quick and easy way to juice up system performance–and it’s free as well. Advanced SystemCare Free (formerly Advanced WindowsCare Personal) has all the basic tools you’ll need for speeding up your system, and is exceedingly easy to use. It even includes a one-click fix in which the program does an analysis and then fixes any problems it finds.
Most useful are the startup manager, which shows you all the programs that run on startup, and lets you kill any you no longer want to start; a Registry fixer, that fixes invalid or incorrect Registry entries and values; and a system optimizer, which alters the way Windows runs, in order to improve performance. There are a slew of other tools as well, such as a spyware remover, junk file cleaner, and privacy sweeper. And there are also some very good tools for showing details about your hardware and software configuration.
Bear in mind that the Advanced SystemCare Free will install the Yahoo Toolbar by default, so if you don’t want it installed, make sure to uncheck the box during installation.
from pcword is
Strengths: it finds basically every single bug possible. it gave me lists of thousands of fixes, even though i already run a lot of antivirus and spyware programs on my computer. it also is very easy to use and has tons of features
Weaknesses: CAUTION! be carful what you delete! especially some registry and file fixes, some are important to windows. i deleted some important files/registry keys and my system crashed. i had to boot it using my vista CD given when i bought the computer.
Overall Evaluation: read above. it finds tons of viruses, just be carful what you delete. i had to boot using vista recovery CD, found myself with BSOD, but managed to recover using the CD’s built-in restore tool, it allowed me to access my crashed OS’s restore points. Great product, but must be careful! i recommend this for someone who knows what they are doing.
