Editor's review of Advanced WindowsCare Personal 2.9

- "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 2.9
Pros: Nothing that I didn't found already in other and better software
Cons: The Personal version is too limited in comparison with the professional (paid) version! And everytime you select an option you'll get bugged with irritating messages that you have to upgrade to the paid version.
Summary: Awful! I already told my complaints in short above. I have nothing to add to it, the only thing that I can say is: there are much better products with much more functionality for a cheaper price, or even totally free without nag-screens bugging you ... read more >>
