Editor's review of Advanced WindowsCare Personal 2.8.6
4.0 stars
- "Give your OS some personal care"
This isn't the most feature-packed Windows-optimization utility, nor the most effective, but we found it one of the easiest to control. Advanced WindowsCare's simple interface offers two main options: Repair and Repair And Optimize. The former fixes Registry entries and cleans out your operating system. The latter does the same thing and tweaks Windows for maximum performance.
If you run into trouble, the Restoration option can return your system to its original configuration. The Advanced menu provides fine control over repairs and optimizations. On the downside, we noticed only one improvement on our test PC: a reduced amount of used RAM. Also, the program's brief descriptions of system problems may not satisfy seasoned users. And although the latest version of the app includes a help file, we wouldn't call it extensive.
Nevertheless, if your system is running sluggishly and you're considering reinstalling Windows, it wouldn't hurt to try this freeware package first.

Version: Advanced WindowsCare Personal 2.8.6
Pros: Quick scans, removing everything it tells you to seems to be harmless at least in the sense your computer won't crash, slight speedup noticed
Cons: For some reason, it changes some display settings! That's just not on! Maybe it tells you it will but it should just leave that alone
Summary: null
I finally figured out how to keep it from tinkering with my display settings. After scanning, add all items in 'system optimization' to the 'ignore' list(right click and add ... read more >>
